Best movie of this year hands down!

Sick Product of a Sick System

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

The acting in this movie is really good.

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.

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!
