'Kuhle Wampe Or Who Owns The World?' (1932, the German drama film about homelessness and left-wing politics, is set to be released by the BFI on / via Blu-ray / DVD, iTunes and Amazon Prime release on 19 September 2022. See a clip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wt7TlLK5rsI&ab_channel=BFI Often described as the only communist film to come out of Weimar Germany, Kuhle Wampe (1932) was a creative collaboration between directors Bertolt Brecht and Ernst Ottwald, composer Hanns Eisler, Slatan Dudow and Georg Höllering. With the UK’s current cost of living crisis making it a topical film for rediscovery in 2022, it has been newly restored in 2K by ARRI Media on behalf of the Deutsche Kinemath and is presented on Blu-ray and DVD by the BFI for the first time in the UK. At the height of the Depression, Anni (Herta Thiele, Mädchen in Uniform) and her family are evicted from their Berlin apartment and forced to move in with her boyfriend, Fritz, at Kuhle Wampe, a lakeside camp on the outskirts of Berlin that now accommodates the ever-growing numbers of the dispossessed. Exquisitely photographed by Günther Krampf (Nosferatu), this semi-documentary combines inspired montage sequences with intimate realist and comic scenes of Anni’s family life, driven along by Hanns Eisler’s celebrated score. Conceived at the political and artistic watershed of the waning Weimar Republic, it was swiftly banned in 1933 as the Nazis took power and was rarely seen for many years. Special features:-
