Based on Michel Houellebecq's controversial bestselling novel, Atomised tells the story of two half brothers Michael (Christian Ulmen) and Bruno (Moritz Bleibtreu) - one is an introverted molecular biologist who is wrapped up in his genetic research that he shies away from intimacy, while the other is a slave to his sexual fantasies. Everything changes when both men, now thirty-something, find love in unexpected places. Questions of biological evolution, love and fate are raised in award winning director Oskar Roehler's striking film.

Atomised review by Kurtz
Society's to blame!

"Atomised" is a searching examination of what happens to damaged people in a society which stresses individual happiness and freedoms over social cohesion and the family unit. Two half-brothers, routinely parked by their self-seeking parents with older relatives, react differently to their abandonment- one becomes a reclusive maths genius who cannot relate to other people, the other a hopeless sex addict. The film charts their lives as they approach middle age, contrasting the sometimes comic escapades of Moritz Bleibtreu’s Bruno as he skirt-chases across middle-class Germany with Christian Ulmen’s Michael, who contemplates allowing the ice that encases his heart to crack as he meets his childhood sweetheart again. This yin-and-yang structure is a bit contrived, but there are good performances that make you care about the fate of the characters.
