Die Edukators!

[The Grey Blur]

Berlin student Jule is hoplessly indebted due to an accident she caused, uninsuredly hitting a rich businessman's limousine. Evicted from her flat she moves in with her boyfrend Peter and soon learns that Peter and his flatmate, Jan, are breaking into luxurious mansions at night. Instead of stealing or vandalizing, though, they carefully and ornately rearrange furniture and valulables and leave obscure messages. Jule convinces Jan, who has a crush on her, to pay a visit to the villa of her creditor.

:lol: Best socialist film ever, from 'Goodbye Lenin' director Wolfgang Becker. This film is a drama, a comedy, an anarchist vs capitalist debate and (trying not to sound pretentious) a philisophical documentary of the human psyche. Superlative!

the film was nice, but the whole idea of breaking into capitalist houses, put everything in disorder and leave a note saying "your days ar counted" is ridiculous. It should have focused more on the struggle of the the young lady against his capitalist oppressor, rather than petty crime, that made'em waste too much time talking to a capitalist.

I saw the film, not bad, great ending. I was reminded about this story.. apparently some german pranksters were inspired by the film;

Late last month Sievers's shop, Frische Paradies in Hamburg, was the victim of one of the most inventive - and possibly the funniest, though not to him - raids in German criminal history. At 10.15am on April 28, a group of activists dressed as superheroes burst into his gourmet supermarket. Wearing carnival masks and calling themselves names such as Spider Mum, Multiflex, Sante Guevara and Operaistorix, they made off with a trolley loaded with luxury goods.

n a note posted on the internet the gang said it had distributed the food among Germany's new underclass - interns who worked for months in glamorous publishing houses without being paid, low-wage nursery assistants, mums forced to take part-time jobs as cleaning ladies and "one-euro jobbers", performing menial tasks under a German government welfare scheme. The gang said it didn't merely object to capitalism. Instead it was making a stand against Prekarisierung or "precariousness" - the uncertainty facing 20- and lower 30somethings as they try to navigate their way through Europe's gloomy neo-liberal jobs market.
