Plot

Men meet in basements, one with Nazi memorabilia. Known in German as Im Keller.

Sinekatalog’s take

Ulrich Seidl's documentary peeks into Austrian basements where men indulge in hobbies, rituals and obsessions, including Nazi relics. Deadpan, unsettling and provocative, it is an uncomfortable portrait of private life.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
