  • Heftige Gefühle Entwickeln«
    »Heftige Gefühle entwickeln« Menschen | Zum Tod des Filmregisseurs Joseph Vilsmaier »Das Filmen ist nicht nur mein Beruf, es ist auch mein Hobby, seit ich 14 bin. Da kommt also alles zusammen. Das versuche ich so gut wie möglich zu machen“, hatte Joseph Vilsmaier vor knapp drei Jahren rückblickend in einem Interview bekannt. Von PETER MOHR Er war zwar mit der Kamera groß geworden, doch als Regisseur war der Ur-Bayer, der in ganz jungen Jahren in einer Jazzband spielte, ein Spätberufener. Vilsmaier stand schon kurz vor seinem 50. Geburtstag, als ihm mit der Verfilmung von Anna Wimschneiders Memoirenband ›Herbstmilch‹ der große Durchbruch gelang. Der Familienbetrieb Vilsmaier war über viele Jahre in der Filmbranche eine feste Größe. Neben Ehefrau Dana Vavrova, mit der der Regisseur von 1986 bis zu deren Krebstod 2009 verheiratet war, standen auch die Töchter Janina, Theresa und Josefina schon früh vor der Kamera. Das Mädeltrio verkörperte in ›Marlene‹ die junge Dietrich in verschiedenen Altersstufen. Dieser Film ist ein Vilsmaier von A bis Z – er fungierte als Produzent, Regisseur und Kameramann in Personalunion. Nach ›Herbstmilch‹ wurde Vilsmaier zunächst spöttisch als »Heimatfilmer« bezeichnet – ein Etikett, mit dem der ausgebildete Kameramann und einstige Klavierstudent keine Probleme hatte. Heimat hatte für Vilsmaier nicht nur eine geografische, sondern auch eine historische Dimension: »Deutsche Geschichte ist auch Heimat.« Die Auseinandersetzung mit der Historie zog sich wie ein roter Faden durch Vilsmaiers erfolgreiche Regiearbeit: von ›Herbstmilch‹ (1988) über die Neuverfilmung von ›Stalingrad‹ (1992), über die ›Comedian Harmonists‹ (1997) und ›Marlene‹ (1999) bis hin zu ›Gustloff‹ (2008). Joseph Vilsmaier, der am 24. Januar 1939 in München als Sohn eines Flugzeugtechnikers geboren wurde, begann als 14-jähriger bereits mit einer kameratechnischen Ausbildung.

  • “Amerika Gibt's Überhaupt Nicht”: Notes on the German Heritage Film
    “Amerika gibt’s überhaupt nicht”: Notes on the German Heritage Film Lutz Koepnick The mid-1980s saw the emergence of what Andrew Higson has called the British heritage ‹lm, a cycle of period pieces whose central plea- sures lay in “the artful and spectacular projection of an elite, conserva- tive vision of the national past.”1 As de‹ned by Higson, the heritage ‹lm avoided the stylistic signatures of the European art ‹lm yet often explored literary sources and domestic cultural traditions as marks of authenticity. Heritage ‹lms privileged mise-en-scène over narrative development, ›uid camera moves over fast cutting, self-conscious panorama shots over close-ups. Concerned with character, place, and atmospheric detail rather than goal-oriented action, the British her- itage ‹lms of the 1980s reproduced English history as a museal object of identi‹cation, consumption, and exportability. In the United States, these ‹lms—e.g., Another Country (1984), A Room with a View (1985), A Passage to India (1985), and Little Dorrit (1987)—were shown pri- marily in art house theaters. In their European context, however, they represented a new cinema of high production values and popular appeal that aspired to supplement, rather than challenge, the dominant role of Hollywood on the global market. However conservative in outlook, the British heritage ‹lm evi- denced a dialectic of rei‹cation and utopia that Fredric Jameson locates in all works of modern mass culture, namely, the fact that even when their function lies in the legitimation of the present order these works “cannot do their job without de›ecting in the latter’s service the deepest and most fundamental hopes and fantasies of the collectivity, to which they can therefore, no matter in how distorted a fashion, be found to have given voice.”2 British heritage ‹lms of the 1980s served as both a complement and a corrective to Margaret Thatcher’s neolib- eral call for universal entrepreneurship.

The Jewish acting student Harry Frommermann wants to start a male A-capella group similar to the American Revellers. Robert Biberti, an incompa­ rable bass accepted the invitation, followed by four, up to that point, rather unsuccess­ ful artists: the tenor and women's idol Ari Leschnikoff, the elegant counter tenor Erich Abraham Collin, the introvert Polish baritone Roman Cycowski, and the pianist Erwin Bootz. The group of six experienced a phenomenal career that included radio and film per­ formances as well as travels to many countries. However, beginning in 1934, the singing style of the ensemble was labelled "Jewish-Marxist" according to Nazi cultural tenets. With three Jewish members in the group, they were forbidden to perform in Germany. At the same time, old conflicts within the group resurfaced, the breakup was unavoidable.

A murderous conspiracy. A devastating catastrophe. Frankfurt, May 1937. The Hindenburg, the world's largest airship, is getting ready to fly to New York. A vehicle of staggering dimensions, it is the pride of Nazi Germany. But it has one serious flaw: due to an American embargo preventing the sale of helium to Germany, the Hindenburg is filled with highly combustible hydrogen gas instead. To Merten Kröger, an engineer who helped design the Hindenburg, the ship is a stick of dynamite waiting for a spark. The young man of great charm but modest means has fallen in love with the wealthy Jennifer van Zandt, the daughter of an American industrialist who wants to sell helium to the Germans. Just before the ship takes off, Merten learns how far the industrialist will go: he has had a bomb placed on the airship. What van Zandt didn't know is that his wife and daughter would be on board. Merten sneaks aboard the airship without a minute to spare. The young couple is reunited, and despite the great difference in class and social status between them, Jennifer, too, avows her love for Merten. He tells her of the bomb hidden somewhere on the airship. But there is little time for explanations, since Merten must flee: he is being sought for a murder he says he did not commit.

  • The End of Imperialism Was the Birth of Nationalism, a Wave of Rising
    New German Identity: Reworking the Past and Defining the Present in Contemporary German Cinema Constance McCarney Dr. Robert Gregg Spring 2008 General University Honors McCarney 2 The end of imperialism was the birth of nationalism, a wave of rising consciousness that swept over the conquered areas of the world and brought them to their feet with a defiant cry, “We are a Nation!” These new nations, almost all multiethnic states, struggled in defining themselves, found themselves locked in civil wars over what the citizen of this nation looked like and who s/he was. The old nations, locked in a Cold War, looked on, confident in their own national cohesion and unity. But the end of the Cold War proved to be the birth of complicated new identity concerns for Europe. Yugoslavia splintered in terrible ethnic conflict. France rioted over the expression of religious affiliation. Germany tried desperately to salvage the hope that brought down the Wall and stitch itself back together. For Germany the main questions of identity linger, not only who is a German, but what does it mean to be German? In the aftermath of the great upheavals in Germany’s recent past, the Second World War and the fall of the Third Reich, German films did their best to ignore these questions of identity and the complications of the past. But in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s, a New German Cinema arose that sought to work through the complex issues of West Germany: the legacy of the Nazi Past, American occupation, the Berlin Wall and divided Germany, the radicalism of the time period in a global context, and the civil rights movements, particularly the women’s movement.
