The [http://www.monochrom.at/gstettensaga new film] by the Viennese postmodern Marxists "Monochrom" is a fractured didactic piece for the nerds and geeks of this world. In the grotesque catastrophe-western-fantasy-adventure film, Fred Aigner and Alalia Grundschuber travel through the vast expanses of Niederpröll (Niederösterreich = the province of Lower Austria; Erwin Pröll = the province's eternal and omnipresent governor), where they encounter natives quite familiar to us here in Austria. Their adventure through the land of postal partners, small-time agrarian politicians and Raiffeisen Bank branch employees is first and foremost a tragic warning to the residents of alternative culture. | The [http://www.monochrom.at/gstettensaga new film] by the Viennese postmodern Marxists "Monochrom" is a fractured didactic piece for the nerds and geeks of this world.

All that remains are stretches of land governed by idiocy and dialects. As Marxists, the people from Monochrom know that only the revolution can free us from capitalism. And yet the revolution is no more alive than unicorns are. | ||
"Marxism gave a meaning to modernity. It said that, wittingly or not, the individual performs a role in a drama that has a shape and a goal, a trajectory, and that modernity will turn out to be just one act in that drama. Historical change is not arbitrary. It is generated by class conflict; it is faithful to an inner logic; it points toward an end, which is the establishment of the classless society." (Louis Menand) | "Marxism gave a meaning to modernity.
