The film that followed Capelito, though, turned out to be one of the most disturbing, provocative films we’ve seen at this year’s festival thus far. , a made-for-television German thriller/drama by Turkish-born, German-raised Zuli Aladag, kept us at the edge of our seat for ninety minutes.
On reflection, it seems so appropriate that Rage should play on May Day, and the same day as all the rallies protesting recent immigration sweeps. We weren’t really prepared for the intensity of Rage. For instance, we’d never seen Russian Roulette performed with pocket knives before (not that we’ve ever seen Russian Roulette offscreen).
More about Rage -- which was condemned in Germany as xenophobic -- and a Q&A that got so engaging that it had to be continued outside the theater.
