Unter Deutschen

About This Movie

Unter Deutschen is an interesting dive into the essence of German identity post-reunification. Troller, the filmmaker, takes you on a journey through various festivals and towns, blending the mundane with the extraordinary. You’ve got the lively Carnival and the bustling Oktoberfest juxtaposed with quieter moments like a Black-Bavarian wedding or chats with chimney sweeps. It’s all about capturing those little snippets of life that paint a bigger picture of what it means to be German during this transitional time. The pacing feels organic, no rush, just letting the scenes breathe. The practical effects are non-existent, but that’s fine; it’s all about real people in real situations.
