Sophie Kluge’s *Golden Twenties* uses the historical setting of the Weimar Republic to deconstruct social norms. The film successfully engages with queer history and subverts traditional gender hierarchies through the 'New Woman' archetype. It captures the fluidity of identity and the breakdown of traditional institutions. By focusing on a secular, bohemian landscape, it offers a progressive critique of the era's shifting social and ethical frameworks. While the film excels in gender and queer representation, it lacks specific evidence regarding disability and provides less depth for characters of color.
