Die potemkinsche Stadt (1988)

Directed by Mischka Popp, Thomas Bergmann

· 1h 30m

The film tells of life and survival in Europe's modern satellite towns, featuring cities that no longer exist—the meta-city of Wulfen in the Ruhr region—and those that are yet to come—the megacities south of Madrid. There is a concrete city on the outskirts of Amsterdam that has become the largest black ghetto in Europe today, and a banlieue in Paris where racism and drugs dominate life. There are houses from which life has been driven out, where people seem like foreign bodies. There is the vital struggle for survival of those who have been driven into the cities, those who have been pushed out of the cities.
