Ulrike's Brain

About This Movie

Ulrike's Brain is a quirky blend of comedy and science fiction, really playing with the absurdity of its premise. You’ve got Doctor Julia Feifer, who brings Ulrike Meinhof’s brain to a conference, and it all unfolds in a way that’s reminiscent of those campy sixties B-movies. The atmosphere is both humorous and unsettling, with an offbeat pacing that keeps you guessing. It uses practical effects that feel raw and add a certain charm. Sachsse's performance as Feifer is surprisingly layered, balancing humor with a sense of gravity. It’s distinctive for how it satirizes academia and the way we remember historical figures, all while not taking itself too seriously.
