FRAUKE FINSTERWALDER: FINSTERWORLD (2013)

A dark interconnected set of tales meant more as allegory, fairy tale, and commentary on the present state of Germany and Germans by a young former documentary filmmaker with a class visit to a Nazi concentration camp as a central element. It's fun to follow the far-fetched interconnecting of the story lines, but the dark, deliberately shocking incidents that pepper the narrative may seem a little heavy handed. The coolness of the post-Nineties New German Cinema is not to be found here. I was intrigued, but ultimately a bit disappointed.
