Keep Up the Good Work

Orginal title: Frohes Schaffen / Germany 2012 / Documentary / 98 minutes / Director: Konstantin Faigle / Universal

Just imagine there's work but no one goes

Konstantin Faigle's essayistic-satirical docu-fiction shows modern enlightened man is not free from delusion and mental compulsion. He has long since chosen a different god: work. Work is an addiction, a fetish, a mantra that surrounds us every day. It is security, self-affirmation, the right to exist far beyond the material. In times of economic crisis and rapid job losses, "Keep Up the Good Work" questions our 'sacred' meaning of life, work.

"Keep Up the Good Work" is a wonderfully heretical, cinematic reflection on the meaning of work as the meaning of life. Entertaining, humorous and at the same time profound!
