Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for people who'll be looking things up afterwards and people who love a true story told well. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 29 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

On the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx's birth, the docu-drama paints a multifaceted portrait of the most influential German thinker of modern times. The world-famous actor Mario Adorf embodies the equally contradictory and contradictory world spirit, in the dichotomy of prophetic confidence and fear of failure. An exciting cinematic journey through his life and work.
