Director: Oskar Röhler
Cast: Moritz Bleibtreu, Christian Ulmen, Franka Potente, Martina Gedeck, Nina Hoss
A godawful mess based on Michel Houllebecq's highly rated novel about two very different half-brothers who were (left un-) raised by a hippie mother. One is a celebrated geneticist but a virgin in his thirties. The other one is a racist sex addict who finally has a breakdown. You can try hard to find something tangible in the story, but it's impossible; one scene follows another and the sole emotion you feel is numbness.
