disappointing political film from Germany. A couple of young men amuse themselves by asserting their disdain of capitalism by breaking into mansions and vandalizing. They become involved with a young woman and, quite accidentally, end up kidnapping one of the wealthy. The film then degenerates further into a thinly veiled conceit wherein the director has the characters mouth all the usual political hash you've heard many, many times before and far more entertainingly and originally, in Godard films.
If you want to see a similar treatment in a modern film which truly is spectacular and one of the better efforts to spring from the Korean wave of excellence, see "Save the Green Planet." This film deserves to have far more fame, blending that unusual Korean stew of humor, violence, and satire.
