THE GERMAN CHAINSAW MASSACRE

(1990, dir. Michael Chaves, 135 min)

Starring Karina Fallenstein and Udo Kier

So much of this movie is wrapped up in the contexts of being:

1) A parody/reimagining of Hooper's TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and its much more gonzo sequel

2) A lowbrow guerilla satire of the cultural politics around German re-unification

I'm not sure I have enough grounding in the latter to really have an informed response about the film, beyond looking back at how the world reacted to the fall of Communism when I was growing up.
