Voted Best Documentary of 2008 by German film critics, PRATER is a feast of extravagant imagery portraying the past and present of Prater, Vienna’s famed amusement park. Director Ottinger (FREAK ORLANDO, MADAME X: ABSOLUTE RULER) is in her element shaping this colorful odyssey with a down-the-rabbit-hole feel. Shiver-inducing wonder and horror attend views of sideshow attractions, human oddities, and sinister sculpted icons including the genies, dragons, giants, and monsters that make up this surreal kingdom.
