Die Känguru-Verschwörung

This installment of the kangaroo stories has blown me away. It's a spot-on, satirical comment on the past years in which covid-19 conspiracy nuts ruled many discussions and sowed so much confusion.

In short, Marc-Uwe and his kangaroo seek out to free Maria's mother from the clutches of her conspiracy theories. On their odyssey, the duo enjoy quite a lot of comical situations - which I will not summarize here.

But let me say that the film contains insider jokes that one can only understand as a German. Though, some refer to the capitol attack on January 6th, 2021. Others relate to covid-19. At one time, they cite a famous phrase from "Life of Brian" (1979). The very beginning bears resemblance to ALF, the 1980 sitcom.

Frankly, I wonder how they will translate this masterpiece for English-speaking audiences.
