What DVD's are we Watching?

[BigV]

Watched "The Wave", available streaming via Netflix. I give it five stars. Here's the description from imdb:

A high school teacher's unusual experiment to demonstrate to his students what life is like under a dictatorship spins horribly out of control when he forms a social unit with a life of its own.

I found it fascinating, so fascinating that my inability to speak German was no impediment to my enjoyment despite the fact that the contrast on the built-in subtitles was often poor (white on white) rendering them unreadable. I understand how the movie would have extra special resonance in Germany, but I found the story entirely plausible, a cautionary tale that applies equally to our society here. Strongly recommended.
