What Farocki Taught is a stubborn film, containing a perfect replica, shot-for-shot, in color and English, of Harun Farocki's 1969 b/w German film 'Inextinguishable Fire' - about the production of Napalm, the abuses of human labor, and filmmaking. (imdb)

I dunno, it's an interesting commentary on both the issues Farocki examines and the medium of film, but it lacks a life of its own. The bookending commentary from Godmilow may contextualize the film, but it also reveals how lacking her perspective is.
