The Germans have upped the ante on absurdity with the film Measures to Better the World (produced by Jörn Hintzer, Jakob Hüfner), which chronicles a series of invented social movements such as the Green Light Society and Rent-a-Brother. In the most chilling segment, a doctor introduces a new insurance scheme in which patients learn medical skills, and when his son falls ill he urges his star pupils to perform an emergency appendectomy. Making fun of the well-intentioned is a bit too easy, though: the film was undeniably funny but it lacked substance. The best thing about this movie is that in German, the title is all one word.
