Dir. Benjamin Schindler (Germany, 2019)
1 hr 28 min
This film is an honest and thorough visual journey through America and its obsession with religion, the occult, and reenactments of our often horrific history as a young nation. At first glance, I wondered where the story was headed. But the juxtaposition of civil-war reenactments and UFO-sighting recreations captured my intrigue, because the imagery all felt familiar despite lack of cohesion in subject matter. Perhaps it is a critique on the mistakes of our past, and perhaps it is a celebration of the diverse forms of storytelling that can be found across the thousands of miles from the Atlantic seaboard to the Pacific. In any case, I got the sense that while rich in narrative history and counterculture, we Americans are not the heroes... Amy Peterson
