Magical "HEIMATFILM" from Germany

News from the magical homeland film / Neues vom magischen Heimatfilm

A new genre is emerging in German-speaking cinema, which is based on the magical realism in Latin American literature (with the writers and Nobel Prize winners Gabriel GARCIA MARQUEZ and Mario VARGAS LLOSA) and the German film genre (yes, the Heimatfilm of the 1950s) par excellence , can be described as a magical homeland film (own word creation). Similar to MITTAGSSTUNDE / LUNCH HOUR, WAS MAN VON HIER AUS SEHEN KANN / WHAT YOU CAN SEE FROM HERE IS already the second all-round successful representative of this genre, which was well received by both audiences and critics.

Wonderfully bizarre and with astonishing tricks, an enchanting village story from the Westerwald is told here, which you should have seen on the big screen if possible. Director Aron LEHMANN (born in Wuppertal) brings together a great ensemble of actors. Particularly noteworthy are Luna WEDLER, Corinna HARFOUCH (EUROPEAN FILM AWARD 1990: nomination for TREFFEN IN TRAVERS / MEETING IN TRAVERS) and the fantastic Karl MARKOVICS (EMMY (international) 2008: nomination for FRANZ FUCHS - EIN PATRIOT / A PATRIOT / LOLA (GERMAN FILM AWARD) 2023: nomination for WAS YOU CAN SEE FROM HERE.

A beautiful film!
