The Chronicle of Higher Education has made their article on The Ister available online. Well worth a read because they asked people who know something of the subject matter about the film.
Mr. Thomson, for instance, says that "the film might help show viewers that the questions at stake in Heidegger's work are not incomprehensibly abstract but rather real, immediate, and pressing: How is technology shaping our sense of reality? How does our relationship to the past shape our relationship to the future? What role should philosophers play in the culture? How could someone so philosophically intelligent be so politically stupid? What is the relationship between philosophy and politics?"
It's a real pity the movie is only being marketed to academia.
