Great Movie!

I saw this movie yesterday for the first but fore sure not the last time! Such a fascinating and staggering theme directed so thrilling! unbelieveable pictures!

Everybody should see this movie and take these 6 stories to heart. Nowadays political turbulances with all that re-arising of the right - wing extremism make movies like "Empire Me" so absolutely important. So glad to read that "Empire Me" got a prize named "Prix du Film Rebelle"! Thanks to Paul Poet for this really "moving" movie!

A tale of six weirdos

The movie's description "a filmic search for the worldwide phenomenon of the micronation movement" should have been warning enough, but I love me some documentaries of any kind.

Of course, there is nothing like a "worldwide micronation movement", calling it that is the epitome of hyperpole.

Instead we are presented with six "stories" of people and their "countries" without whom society is better off anyway. Just the fact that all of them feel the need to be "king", "prince" or "knight" of their miniature estates gives them away. Or that they invented a "sacred language" and think of themselves as enlightened.

All of that could still have been entertaining. Somehow though, Paul Poet managed to make it neither interesting nor even worthwhile. All that is left for me is to be thankful that none of those people live anywhere near me.

The film was awarded the main prize at 2012 edition of French AUBAGNE FILMFESTIVAL ex aequo with Australian movie "Toomelah" by Ivan Sen. Since the prize couldn't be split, "EMPIRE ME" was given an alternative main prize named "Prix du Film Rebelle", the Rebel Movie Award, that was only given this year at this festival and deemed fit for a movie that defies all usual categories like this one. Director/Author Paul Poet and Score Composer Alexander Hacke both received this prize.
