Dietrich Kuhlbrodt

Speedy, merciless and with plenty of black humor Gasman shows the picture of a man searching for his inner soul.

A hybrid work of nocturnal forays through Hamburg in documentary-animated live action. Alongside feminist social criticism, autobiographical references remain never fully deciphered. Alongside the gloomy Wanda Wandalis and Krossen Kerlen, "Didi" enriches the director's dark excursions and artistic positions in a fascinating way with his presence as an eccentric character. This love, embodied by Dietrich Kuhlbrodt (known for his subversive roles in Christoph Schlingensief's films), brings unmistakable charm and humor to the collaboration with Pachet Fulmen. "I'm not interested in pigeonholing," says Fulmen. Her art is a rebellion against convention — uncompromising, uncomfortable, unforgettable.

A serial killer strikes fear in the hearts of residents of Hamburg during the early 1970s.

In this time, a social-worker, with the mission to bring a Polish family to their destination (an immigration camp in a little provincial town called Rassau), gets kidnapped just as the family. Chief inspector Koern and his girl-friend start to investigate in this matter in Rassau, exploring a world of obsessive sex, mislead lust and an over-whelming irrational love to the German nation, infiltrating anyone's mind. Rascism doesn't start with shaved hair and boots but rather in the middle of society itself...

Egomania is a visually stunning end-of-the-world melodrama about lust, jealousy and murder set amidst solar eclipses, orchestral chants and the distant thunder of the boiling sea. The film’s characters – riddled with unconscious desires – find themselves imprisoned on an island. Drawing parallels to the work of British filmmaker Derek Jarman and staring Jarman’s actress-muse Tilda Swinton, Schlingensief’s raw and almost mythological film stands in contrast to his more offensive efforts.

On 30 April 1945, dictator Adolf Hitler, his wife Eva Braun, and prominent members of the Third Reich live out their final hour in the Führerbunker.

Schlingensief disagreed. (MoMA)
