PANKOW 95

Who would have thought that Diedrich Diederichsen, this famed theoretician of subculture, once appeared in a film alongside popular show master Dieter Thomas Heck? PANKOW 95 is a 1983 curiosity of German film history that begs to be rediscovered. Udo Kier stars as Marxist musicologist Wolfgang Amadeus Zart who is locked up in a mental facility for his theories about a young people conspiracy. With the help of test-tube child Armin he tries to escape, in what can only be described as a sort of experimental New Wave Sci-Fi version of ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST.
