Harun Farocki (1997) The Interview (DVD)

From his work in the fiction mode to documentary to installation German filmmaker Harun Farocki has consistently explored ideas of language ideology perception and contemporary audio-visual culture. In this unique documentary Farocki draws on the anxiety of unemployment as he follows the efforts of several candidates who take part in a training program designed to teach them how to apply for a job. The goal is to learn how to market and sell themselves a goal that Farocki exposes as demeaning and superficial. An insightful look at the manipulative tactics of big business Farocki's film is as thought provoking as it is revealing. In German with English subtitles.
