A German week
Of the six films released today in Germany, one is French (Boudu, by Gérard Jugnot, distr. Concorde Filmverleih) and three are national productions.
Allein ('alone'), Thomas Durchschlag's first feature, deals with depression and borderline states, following the case of Maria (Lavinia Wilson), a student who lives an unstable life of drugs and one-night stands. The film, produced by LICHTBLICK and distributed by Zorro, was supported within the framework of the Six-Pack initiative, a support scheme for young talent.
Die Höhle des gelben Hundes ('the den of the yellow dog'), Byambasuren Davaa's second film, follows a Mongolian family of nomads who adopt a little dog. This film is produced by Schesch Filmproduktion and distributed by X Verleih (Warner).
In Siegfried, Sven Unterwaldt jr. turns an old legend into a comedy. The main character, Siegfried, a new-born saved from drowning who became a warrior, is played by Tom Gerhardt, who wrote the script with Herman Weigel. Siegfried is distributed by its producer, Constantin Film Produktion.
