Übermensch (2009) User Reviews

Excellent work!

[carlkevad · 9/10 · 24 October 2011]

This 2009 short called "Übermensch" is one of the better Übermensch adaptations I've seen. I'm developing a film of my own of the ÜBERMENSCH so I was glad to see some other views on it.

Though I was expecting to see more action, believe it or not, I was expecting action in a low-budget indie short, the dialog between the two leads was so gripping that I forgot I wanted action.

My adaptation will definitely have more action, but I recommend anyone who is interested in filmmaking to check out this one. The connections to Hitler are very well thought out.

Great work!

A different take on a familiar character

I stumbled upon this while looking for something else, but what a discovery!

It addresses the question of what might have happened if the Kryptonian infant Kal-El had crash-landed in 1930s Germany instead of Iowa.

The film is, apart from the bookending scenes, a two-handed piece, with no (expensive) action scenes. Instead, it is a discussion that is played powerfully by the two lead actors.

It can, at the time of writing this review, be found on-line and seeking it out is strongly recommended.
