Synopsis:
Alfred and Lisa – he a car mechanic, she a nurse – live in a tiny old apartment in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg district. After two years of marriage, they seem to have nothing more to say to each other. Divorce proceedings have been initiated. Alfred takes a few days off, lives aimlessly into the day and yet is looking for something out of the ordinary. Lisa doesn’t quite understand Alfred’s request for divorce, but doesn’t fight to preserve the marriage. Alfred’s vacation also becomes too monotonous, so he would rather work for free in his auto repair shop than be bored. There, the head of the squad morally reproaches him for his failed marriage. The film leaves open whether Alfred and Lisa find their way back to each other.

Böttcher’s only feature film was withdrawn in its raw version because of a hopeless release and did not see its premiere until 1990.

Quote:
Presentation of a commited State Party (Socialist Unity Party of Germany) secretary at the Chemicals Combine in Buna. A former miner and small farmer rises to a leading political position – symbol of a typical Party career.

Quote:
This documentary follows Gerhard Grimmer, the secretary of a chemical plant in Bruna (and the liaison between the plant’s management and its employees), as he attempts to improve morale among the workers. Always concerned about the feelings and needs of the mostly-female employees, he is well-liked by them. Each day is a challenge for Grimmer as he tactfully uses his charming manner and smart appearance to improve the factory’s atmosphere and solve various problems.

Quote:
This black and white documentary film reports on a brigade of women, they are the “stars” of a Berlin light bulb factory. What is striking is the cordiality and good cooperation within the women’s group, despite their monotonous work in the control area in the production of tungsten wires, also called filaments. Original tones are inserted to convey the joys, the cheerfulness and quick-wittedness that they have despite their burden of family and work. A problem of the wrong way of counting the female workers is openly addressed by the brigade leader and in a countercut Inge introduces her baby to her colleagues in the company. Everything seems like one big family and nobody can really imagine being without this work.

At the Eisenhüttenkombinat Ost an der Oder, a new blast furnace is being moved to replace a burnt-out one. 2000 tons have to be moved 18 meters: Three times we hear it in the commentary. Master Klaus is now in command. His orders are to be obeyed at all costs. Men at work: tense faces, examining hands, the sound of screeching winds and steel cables stretched to breaking point. Everything is going well, and it is a new best performance: The downtime of the plant has been reduced from 80 to 40 days, the commentary says.

Quote:
A cinematic visit to the Pergamon Museum in Berlin. The camera usually observes the visitors and paints their views on scenes of the ensemble of figures. The amazement at the beauty and grace of the antique sculptures is reflected in the faces of the viewers and emotion is palpable. The visitors come from all over the world – one sees Indians, Asians, Blacks. All age groups are represented, from children to old people. They come individually or in groups and communicate about what they see. The film gets along without any comment. You see more pictures of the visitors than of the altar. This means that it is important for the film to show the cultural interest of the people. Gerhard Rosenfeld creates atmospheric music with a classical feel to it. An early and extremely interesting work by the great documentary filmmaker Jürgen Böttcher.

Quote:
Böttcher made his graduation film NOTWENDIGE LEHRJAHRE (1960) about young people who had become delinquent in a youth work yard in Thuringia. Already here a striking feature of his later films becomes apparent: Jürgen Böttcher gives his protagonists a lot of space; he approaches them without prejudice, empathetically and carefully. In addition, his curiosity can be felt in the life situations and stories of his characters.

The post Jürgen Böttcher – Notwendige Lehrjahre AKA Necessary Years of Learning (1960) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

A documentary about the deconstruction of the Berlin Wall which makes no use of vocal commentary but instead focuses on visual elements. From the Potsdamer Platz to the Brandenburg Gate, the camera captures the historic events from all sides and different angles: on the one hand there are news reporters and tourists from all over the world taking pictures, children selling pieces of the wall to passers-by, and people celebrating New Year’s Eve, on the other we see abandoned subway stations and officials with blank looks on their faces.
