Nazi Pop Twins

"Nazi Pop Twins" may not be the most subtle or deep of all possible documentaries about this topic which has been the subject of a lot of sensationalism over time. James Quinn, while clearly in the right as far as his views, does become very confrontational towards the end of the film and, repellent as her other opinions are, he makes April Gaede almost seem to have a point about his coming in with an agenda.

The two twins who make up Prussian Blue are so closely guarded that a documentary about them as people seems impossible, and they are instead revealed through snatches of conversation that they seem eager to let slip when their mother is not around. What Quinn does capture well are a number of disturbing scenes that reveal their mother's unpleasant and manipulative personality as she tries desperately to keep up appearances while the people around her lose patience with her.

In addition, a number of scenes in this documentary point at a fascinating story in the confused reactions of other people -- from average people in a bar to skinhead rockers -- to the cognitive dissonance of hearing sweet young girls sing about Nazism -- and maybe that's the documentary Quinn would have been better equipped or served to make.
