The Rise And Fall of the Wall – The Cinema of East Germany

Why Make a Film About People Like Them?

wozu denn uber diese leute einen film?

Thomas Heise

“The film tells the story of a mother and her sons having coffee and cakes while they try to remember – in vain – when was the first time they were tangled by the police. The reason it was banned was the casual way the film portrayed those young men living their lives untouched by ideology, including taking their careers as petty criminals for granted, meaning the film’s author accepted their existence, as is, and simply wanted to explore it.” Thomas Heise
