Kerstin Cmelka & Mario Mentrup's new film is a modern take on the "Cinema Of Attraction", which characterised the medium's infancy, and has survived to an extent on fun fairs. Now it is back in "proper cinemas", showing superheroes of a different kind: Busy as actors on a remake of a silent classic, the patchwork family also has to face the challenges of more regular family units as well as deal with clowns, martial artists, screaming German directors and the special demands of building body mass with milk. And that's not even all...
Trying to describe THE ATTACKABLES is a futile endeavour. It is an experience, which, despite its low-budget production values, has profound things to say about modern life.
