Fresh criticism revisits Oliver Hirschbiegel's 'Das Experiment'

Original: Oliver Hirschbiegel – „Das Experiment“ (2000) Ich weiß noch ziemlich genau, was mich an diesem Film schon damals gestört

A German-language film discussion is revisiting Oliver Hirschbiegel's 2000 prison-experiment drama 'Das Experiment'. The critic recalls what bothered them about the film at the time, arguing the problem was not the violence, the claustrophobic atmosphere, or how radically Hirschbiegel escalates his setup, but something else about the film's approach. The retrospective is prompting debate about how the provocative psychological drama holds up more than two decades later.

Why now: A retrospective critique of a well-known German film has rekindled discussion about its methods and legacy.
