Die Gstettensaga: Review on Noisebridge

Yeah.

Well, you expect high weirdness from a writer-director like Johannes Grenzfurthner, who fronts monochrom and is known for the freakiest shenanigans and the most thorough academic theories – and you get a lovin’ spoonful of all of it delivered through this production.

Decades after the disastrous “Google Wars,” a shady media tycoon (with a weakness for Boris Vallejo) hires a pestilent journalist and an over-enthusiastic technician to do the first live broadcast of (post)-post-war history, using the emerging medium of “Tele-O-Vision.” Who is to be interviewed? Echsenfriedl, a strange “pioneer of contraptions” who lives hidden in the hinterland (Austrian slang: “Gstetten”) of the Alpine fringes. It’s a quest to kick-start the future’s future. Will it succeed? Depends on how you define “success.”
