More German than many Germans

German culture is imho stuck in a permanent subsidy slop problem. Basically every German film is written to appeal to the subsidy committee, not any greater audience. And it shows.

Some of my favourite movies are German - Das Boot, or Lola rennt. Also series, like Dark.

Do you also have anything from the last 25 years? :D

Those are some old movies.

I can suggest "Land of Mine" but it's now also over 10 years old.

I didn't watch any movies in the last years so no. The misconception being, they would all equally suck.

Also, it's Danish, not German. :-)

Well yeah kinda. ZDF did help I guess? German / Danish production with Danish director, with mostly German being spoken.

I think those are more the exception that proves the rule.
