"Austerlitz" blames tourists in concentration camps for being part of a mindless event industry that has developed around the camps. The truth is: Despite the artsy approach, switching camera positions only every 5 minutes or so, the film itself is part of this industry. you will never find this movie in a cinema near you, you will never find it on a TV channel, it was only meant to fish for awards on festivals and even there the audience mostly cant take it because of boredom. the movie not only blames every person in the frame without their consent, it also leaves the audience with the strong feeling, that the director shamelessly uses the victims of the holocaust to boost his stalling career and get more tax money for the next boring project. to be fair, the approach is as old as movie awards, but it shouldn't be rewarded.
