OFFENE WUNDE DEUTSCHER FILM

After Dominik Graf and Johannes F. Sievert have contemplated the post-war New German Cinema in VERFLUCHTE LIEBE DEUTSCHER FILM, they now cover German genre movies in this follow-up essay film: thrillers like ABWÄRTS, war movies like DAS BOOT and comedies like ZUR SACHE SCHÄTZCHEN. They explore the reasons behind the dislike of the same genres that prove so successful abroad – and even in Germany, as long as they are not done by Germans. A love letter to German cinema – and a critique of the German TV and film subsidy culture.
