About

On its surface level, the film appears to be the story of a war-torn German soldier who, after having emigrated to America, finds that he cannot live within any civilization-but he cannot live without it either... the choice is not his. The expansive arem of the military-industrial complex reaches even to his hideaway in the mountains, where he is haunted by the construction of a military missile base. In GEORG, the aesthetic means are home-movie techniques, a concrescence of intimate sounds, and a unique narrative... to unite the audience with the presence of a Georg. –S. K.
