Original Music Composer
After Roy's demise, five friends try to reconstruct his life by reading through the late editor's notebooks - only to face some very personal demons. The Holy Bunch is a modernist melodrama: beyond-Antonioni in its images, decisively Dreyerian in its spirituality. One of German cinema's few modern (or Modernist) masterpieces.
Dilettantishly cruel scenes from the "scene": A skinhead loves a dance girl and dreams of a petty-bourgeois future. When he is deprived of the wages of a robbery by his landlady, an impoverished princess, he kills her. His girlfriend sinks to being a prostitute and is also killed. It all ends in the prison cell with a dream vision of a white wedding in Berlin's Memorial Church. First film shot on Super-8 and blown up to 16mm by Tabea Blumenschein, who became known as a performer in underground films and as a costume designer.
Himself
German music and art collective Die Tödliche Doris performs their song "Über Mutti" live at the Front Kino in Kreuzberg, Berlin in 1984. However, the performance is actually a lip-sync of a live recording of the song at a concert in Paris a year earlier. The audience themselves are invited to join in the performance, syncing their responses to the recording of the Paris audience.
