Hoezo in KINO

German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder is best known for his melodramas and sharp social critiques, but with this visionary sci-fi noir, he delves into a world of simulated realities, corporate power, and existential paranoia. This dystopian epic was decades ahead of its time and laid the groundwork for modern science fiction, long before Blade Runner and The Matrix, to which it has a clear thematic link, particularly in its portrayal of a protagonist who begins to question the very nature of reality. Originally made for TV as a two-part series, Welt am Draht was shot in rich, neon-drenched 16mm and is now beautifully restored. Don’t miss this rare chance to experience it on the big screen.
