Reviews
- "Steffen Jürgens' satire in the form of a film noir between" Aktenzeichen XY ... unsolved "and Edgar Wallace films throws itself in a wild reference frenzy into the country of immigration, the business location and the cultural nation of Germany. In his media criticism, Jürgens dissects above all Material language. Logically, the bones of Franz Kafka and Hermann Hesse play a central role in Antrazith's unscrupulous plans. " ( Intro (magazine) )
- "" The Troublemaker "is a satire. On the media society, on the ignorance of the German cultural scene and the resignation of the people who live in it. But also on the protagonist himself, who sees his salvation only in the recognition by this society, the He detests so deeply. Antrazith resembles his literary role model in this fight. He is himself a Kafkaesque hero, a sad star of futility. He lives in a hotel room between files and mountains of paper, constantly dropping pseudo-intellectual sentences that are in hers laconic tone of voice reminiscent of Woody Allen . " ( Film service )
- "A shrill satire on the media society borrowed from" film noir ", which tries with ambitious means to show the crisis of meaning in an individualized society, but hardly opens up to a larger audience." ( Lexicon of International Films )
