Viewing Notes

Not sure I could adequately describe this movie. It’s like a mumblecore movie made in early 80s West Germany. It features music by Soft Cell, The The, and Einstürzende Neubauten. There’s this low end rumble beat that works like white noise and it was lulling me to sleep. It is a great movie to fall asleep to. Also a fascinating movie about how radio waves from different types of music alter behavior. I’d love to see this again.

This was the feature film for tonight’s “Space Station Europa” at DKU-TV on Facebook.
