About
Meat, Your Parents: Schlingensief's favourite film is a morbidly funny story about a traumatised young man who his abused by his father and descends into dark fantasies where he imagines himself as Hitler and exterminates his family. The film was booed at the Berlinale when it was premiered, with Wim Wenders leaving after 10 minutes. Made at a time when right-wing intellectuals were attempting to normalise Germany's Nazi past by comparing Nazi war crimes with other countries, Schlingensief rejects the possibilities of coming to terms with Germany's past, opting instead for a celebration of wild and stomach-churning obscenity.
