The Longing
Director of Photography
It is set in a dreary village in the Schwabian-Frankish Forest where the seemingly reserved Lena lives with her tyrant of a husband, Johannes, in a loveless marriage. Johannes is the village's spiritual leader and Lena is his faithful, ever-ready-to-serve wife. Lena's daily life is characterized by grinding monotony, a life narrowly circumscribed by nursing, organ playing and the duties of the marriage bed. The mysterious murder of a village girl suddenly knocks this humdrum existence off its tracks. In the wake of these events Lena discovers the affection and tenderness for which she has always longed in Paul, the village mechanic. This encounter is the start of an emancipation that leads her not to reveal Paul's secret regarding the girl's murder, for fear of losing her newly won piece of happiness. In turn it means she has to remain silent, as she has always done in her many years of marriage. So it is that this love ultimately turns Lena herself into a fallen angel.
Yo, Cristina F.
Director of Photography
Cristina es una adolescente de apenas 14 años que poco a poco se va enganchando a la heroína, hasta el extremo de tener que prostituirse para pagarse su dependencia. Durísimo relato sobre el efecto de las drogas en la juventud, basado en la historia real de Christiane Vera Felscherinow, una exadicta alemana que describió su lucha contra las drogas en la adolescencia en el libro "Los niños de la estación del Zoo". Dirigido por Uli Edel ("El cuerpo del delito", "RAF Facción del ejército rojo"), el filme fue protagonizado por una jovencísima y debutante Natja Brunckhorst ("La princesa y el guerrero"), que tenía solo 13 años cuando se rodó el largometraje. Como curiosidad, David Bowie realizó un 'cameo' en la cinta, pues justamente fue en un concierto que dio el cantante en Berlín donde la protagonista probó por primera vez la heroína.
