Unsichtbare Gegner
An atmospheric, intricate drama.
Set in contemporary Vienna, the film involves a photographer, Anna, who discovers that extraterrestrial beings are colonizing the minds of her fellow citizens by raising the human aggression quotient. The outer world immediately becomes disjointed, yet the inner world does too, as Anna and her lover, Peter, try to hang onto their deteriorating relationship.

Am I crazy, or is it society that is the crazy one? A movie that sets out to psychologically pulverize you with its editing choices, and does so. Initially I had some trouble connecting with its jaundiced take on postwar Viennese culture and politics, until I remembered that my own country is also profoundly evil.

Thrilling post-feminist experimental fiction, centered on the ambiguity of the central character's radical social critique: does her increasingly alienated subjectivity amount to a schizophrenic breakdown? Is there a difference between those two states? Abstract in a seventies-Godard way, but much funnier than Godard.
It follows a Viennese photographer who becomes convinced that extraterrestrial beings are taking over the minds of her fellow citizens while her relationship with her partner deteriorates.
It was directed by the Austrian artist and filmmaker Valie Export in 1977, marking her narrative feature film debut.
