Strange little time-capsule with loads of faces from the early 80's Berlin scene. William Burroughs, Christianne F. Genesis P-Orridge. Brion Gysin's Dream Machines. Some of Throbbing Gristle. Soft Cell. Temple Ov Psychic Youth. Themes are - surveillance; privacy; the war over, for and to distort information; secrecy; fast food; distopian muzac; mind control; genuine scenes of rioting from Reagan's visit to Berlin; corporate non-accountability; celebration & encouragement of aggression in video games. But the real star is the film design, sound and music. Proto- cyberpunk sci-fi and obviously now very topical
Well worth a look
