About This Movie

So, Germany ’09 – it’s really this unique anthology of short films, right? Thirteen distinct voices from German cinema, each director brings their own take on the nation's state.

The performances are genuine, and there's a rawness to the practical effects that feels authentic. Makes you think about Germany beyond just the headlines. It's definitely a thoughtful exploration that connects a lot of dots in a relatively short runtime.
