Between 1933 and 1945 roughly 1200 films were made in Germany, of which 300 were banned by the Allied forces. Today, around 40 films, called "Vorbehaltsfilme", are locked away from the public with an uncertain future. Should they be re-released, destroyed, or continue to be neglected? Verbotene Filme takes a closer look at some of these forbidden films.
Screenplay
HANNAH ARENDT is a portrait of the genius that shook the world with her discovery of “the banality of evil.” After she attends the Nazi Adolf Eichmann’s trial in Jerusalem, Arendt dares to write about the Holocaust in terms no one has ever heard before. Her work instantly provokes a furious scandal, and Arendt stands strong as she is attacked by friends and foes alike. But as the German-Jewish émigré also struggles to suppress her own painful associations with the past, the film exposes her beguiling blend of arrogance and vulnerability — revealing a soul defined and derailed by exile.

Adaptation of a story by Henry James.
An anxious teacher (played, as is the lead role in all his films, by the director) sits in a beer garden on the hill of the Andechs monastery. While flies drown in his mug of beer, he confronts a life of failure: the wife he ignored, the child he neglected, the teaching duties he has shirked, and his doomed efforts at winning tenure from school officials. Only a dream from the past-the memory of a former liaison with a film star with whom he shared "the Andechs feeling, a feeling that we are not alone" - provides sustenance. Despite an unexpected series of events, longing in Achternbusch's world ultimately remains stronger than fulfilment and thirst better than beer.

Автобиографичное размышление о внезапных взаимодействиях и всё изменяющих связях, из которых состоит процесс создания фильма. Лента отчасти основана на впечатлениях от съемки «Уайти». Камера следит за съемочной группой и актерами, которые беспокойно шляются по роскошному испанскому отелю, ссорятся, пьют, занимаются любовью и «играют мускулами» в ожидании главной «звезды», денег на съемку и самого режиссера, который вернет их к творческой жизни. Что это за религия, которая связывает столь разных людей на время киносъемок? А может быть это всего лишь святая блудница, скрывающаяся под маской кинобожества?
