What is the original German title of Atomised?
"Elementarteilchen" — the 2006 German film adapts Michel Houellebecq's 1998 novel, published in English as "Atomised" and in the U.S. as "The Elementary Particles." The film keeps the novel's focus on two estranged half-brothers.

Moritz Bleibtreu plays Bruno, a sex-obsessed teacher, and Christian Ulmen plays Michael, an emotionally detached molecular biologist. Franka Potente and Martina Gedeck also star.
Who directed Atomised (2006)?
Oskar Roehler wrote and directed the adaptation. The film screened at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2006.
Is Atomised faithful to the Houellebecq novel?
It follows the novel's parallel stories of the two half-brothers fairly closely, though it softens some of the book's bleaker scientific digressions. Roehler shifts more weight onto the brothers' failed relationships with women, including Bruno's obsession with a childhood classmate.
