"Agnes and His Brothers"
2004
Directed by Oskar Roehler

Sexuality and the search for acceptance drive this satirical drama about three grown siblings on the verge of collapse. There's the mild librarian, Hans-Jorg, who battles his insatiable Peeping Tom tendencies, the Green Party politico, Werner, whose disinterested wife and alienated son despise him, and their sister, Agnes, a transgender who must reconcile her nightclub dancing with the rather traditional role her boyfriend expects her to fill. Stars Herbert Knaup and Moritz Bleibtreu (Run Lola Run, Munich). "Freud filtered through Fassbinder" (The New York Times). German with English subtitles. 115 minutes.
