my favourite thing about arte (this french-german public tv channel) is how nobody actually gets it? like the germans blame the frenchs and the frenchs blame the germans for the bizarre and frankly somewhat unsettling artsy stuff and together all 140 million of us just squint at the screen, briefly trying to understand what on earth that semi-naked person is trying to tell with interpretative dance in a perfectly white room with no furniture or exit before switching channels bc ain’t nobody need those nightmares that stuff gives you

they do show very good movies and documentaries tho
