Hans Weingartner / Germany / 2004 / 127 mins / 35mm / Cert 15
(Tue 6th / 8pm / £2)
Evicted from her flat, Berlin student Jule moves in with her boyfrend Peter and soon learns that Peter and his flatmate, Jan, are breaking into the homes of middle class suburbans at night. Instead of stealing or vandalizing, though, they carefully and ornately rearrange furniture and valulables and leave messages such as 'Your Days of Plenty Are Numbered' (the original German title of the film) as a mark of their naive political intent. Their
idealistic activities are shattered however when their meticulously planned civil disturbances yield unforseen reprecussions, and they are forced to take desperate, even illegal measures.
A perceptive political tale of our times, the film features another superb performance from hot German actor Daniel Brühl (Goodbye Lenin!).
