criticism
“During his fiction debut, documentary filmmaker Marc Bauder bravely ventured into a field that has not been cultivated in this country: the political and economic drama that is based on research and facts. With figures that function as miniatures in the fictional narrative as well as 'representatives' for the actions of real people without being mere copies. "
