Anatomie (1 and 2)

  • by

Anatomie is an awesome thriller dealing with medical school, secret societies, and, well, anatomy.  There is nudity, though the nudity in most scenes it is in a medical view rather than sexual. Franka Potente plays the main character, Paula Henning.  In the first film, we follow her as she finds out the horrors that are taking place in her medical school.

This film not only has an exciting plot line, Franka Potente and Benno Fürmann make an excellent team among other fun actors.  Potente returns for a small part in Anotomie 2, but the excitement of the first movie could not be duplicated.

The first film is rated R for nudity and sexuality as well a gore. It may be an interesting film to watch in clips for cross-curricular learning with an anatomy class, or even a history course focusing on the medical experiments during WWII, but I would not recommend the full film at the high school level.

The second film is also rated R, and has much less potential for the classroom than the first. I would not recommend using this one in any capacity for the classroom.
