CGiii Comment

It's a Rosa von Praunheim film...a very divisive director.

If this had been a straight forward autobiography - it could have been alright. Instead, it is littered with junk and irrelevance.

It's a vanity project...occasionally funny, mostly irritating...but, Rosa knows how to provoke...and, he does so, splendidly.

Would we watch it again? No.


There was a trailer...but, it has since disappeared.

 

The(ir) Blurb...

Neurosia is the autobiography of the director Rosa von Praunheim. The movie begins with Rosa presenting his autobiography in a movie theater. Before the film begins, he is shot. But - his body gets lost. A female journalist from a TV station begins researching the life of Rosa. In the course of the movie she speaks to lots of aquaintances, shows short clips from Rosas old movies. Her main aim is to provide sensational and shocking details from Rosas life. It turns out that nearly everybody had some reason to kill Rosa. At the end of the movie, she discovers Rosa at a boat where he is kept prisoner by some of his old enemies. She frees him, and the movie ends.
