The Sudden Wealth of the Poor People of Kombach
Der plötzliche Reichtum der armen Leute von Kombach (original)
An intriguing Hans Christian Anderson-style fairy tale aesthetic and voice over narration. Sudden Wealth is a despairing chronicle of a group of starving peasants who finally seize governmental wealth like a dysfunctional group of Robin Hood's Merry Men, only to be betrayed by their inescapable selves and systematically dehumanized (think bucolic Orwell) and reprogrammed by what we'll put under the rubric of God and Country.
Starring Georg Lehn, Karl-Josef Cramer, Margarethe von Trotta, Walter Buschhoff, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Reinhard Hauff, Wolfgang Bächler, Karl-Heinz Merz, Joe Hembus, Karl Renar
It's a drama and crime movie, and has a rating of 7 out of 10 from Imdb which is usually fine for this kind of movie.
