Der Krieg Der Armen by Eric Vuillard
A compact, evocative narrative that resurrects the 16th-century uprisings of Germany’s poor, tracing how millenarian preachers and disenfranchised peasants seized on religious fervor to demand radical social justice, only to be betrayed by political powers and crushed in brutal reprisals; through terse, cinematic vignettes it captures the collision between prophetic hope and the emerging modern state's violence, portraying charismatic leaders and ordinary sufferers while reflecting on how revolts are absorbed or annihilated by history.
