Finsterworld is a 2013 German motion picture cringe comedy drama directed by Frauke Finsterwalder, her debut feature film. Co-written by Finsterwalder and Christian Kracht, it follows interconnected, parallel stories over the course of one day in Germany.
The title Finsterworld is a play on Finsterwalder's surname, which can be translated to English as "from the dark forest (cf forest ~ wood)". It is not to be confused with the Dutch village of Finsterwolde, indeed meaning "dark forest", "dark wood". FinsterwAlders ancestry might well be traced back to this village, given its proximity to the German border, the fact that Dutch 'Finsterwolder' also means "from Finsterwolde" and German "wald" has the same root as Dutch "wold(e), woud(e)", common parts of toponyms both in the Netherlands and in Germany.
