Unter Freunden
1988
7.0On February 20th, 1810, French and Bavarian forces killed the Tyrolean rebel leader Andreas Hofer in Mantua, at that time a part of Austria. Hofer had led the Tyroleans in their fight for independence from Bavaria and was betrayed by an insignificant farmer, the betrayal and its effect on the farmer is the subject of this historically-based drama. Director Christian Berger has shot the story emphasizing visual poetics, as well as close-ups to reveal the nuances of subtle emotions as they play across the human face. Whatever the farmer Raffl's motivation -- he is clearly an underdog, overworked, with his labor unrecognized -- he receives no expected reward for his betrayal of Hofer's hiding place, and he has to quickly leave for the city to escape his fellow villagers' wrath. Once in the city and working hard in a factory, Raffl must come to grips with the fact that his identity has changed, and he may have betrayed himself as well as Hofer.

The movie is about the encounter of a man and a woman who meet for the first time in a foreign city. Together they embark on a journey which leads them to the edges, the peripheries of society, to places bloked from our vision, to marginal zones, wasteland, ghettos, urban slums, or the remnants of a dying rural culture.

NRLois Weinberger (1947 -2021) was one of the most important Austrian artists in recent years. He placed ruderal spaces at the center of his work. As early as the late 1980s, he began incorporating plants into his artistic practice, making him one of the pioneers of a movement that offered a new, non-romanticized perspective on the relationship between humans and nature. The film captures moments of inspiration and grace, portraying the artist’s work and legacy. Through intriguing collaborations, the film explains Weinberger’s works and specific projects while simultaneously capturing his essence.
