Seconded. I have found this movie to stand the test of time, even 20 years after release.
To add, the movie captures some of the societal anxiety of cold-war West Germany accurately. August Diehl's portrayal of Karl Koch is, imho, a stand-out success.
- bar_de 4y agoGreat this gem of German film culture has more fans. The scene with the PDP-11 mainframe and its power supply has meme status even today. Another great trope of the film are the dynamics how the hackers around Karl get exploited by the business savy.
