“The Trouble With Being Born”, from Friday in the cinema, snorkels in the abyss of posthumanism. The festival hit almost became a scandal. The Styrian director Sandra Wollner explains in an interview with the “press” why.
A bungalow in the countryside. The sun is shining, water is splashing in the pool, a man is lounging in a deck chair. A young girl strolls over and shows him a grasshopper that she found in the grass. Great, he says – the only difference is that she shouldn’t take the animal into the house! Weekend harmony between father and daughter. How nice.
