Synopsis
Phoebe, a young academic, accepts yet another temporary teaching job. With her progressive ideals, she acts as a link to protesting students. On the other side are the established faculty, whose will to survive in a cesspool of third-party funding acquisition has ground them down into vain cynics.
Our take
In this biting satire, which premiered at the Berlinale, Max Linz targets the corporate university and its relationship to capitalism. Through quirky set pieces and puzzling jargon, Linz portrays academia as a strange and alienated world where moral beliefs and economic needs are deeply in conflict.
