Basing his work on his own novel, Herkunft [Origin], Oskar Roehler shot an autobiographical film in which the destinies of three generations confront German history from the postwar era up until the 1980s. As an unloved child of bohemian intellectuals professing the political clichés of the 1960s, the filmmaker projects his disenchantment onto a sarcastic image of society, while introducing a surprisingly subtle romantic tone to the proceedings.

The post Oskar Roehler – Bad Director (2024) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Oskar Roehler was born in 1959, the son of writers Gisela Elsner and Klaus Roehler. He grew up in London, Rome and Nuremberg and made his first short film She LA in 1994. He had his feature debut in 1995 with Gentleman, which was shown at the Munich Filmfest the same year.

Frank Seltsam likes fast cars good looking girls and expensive drugs. but lately more and more doesn’t work out the way he wants anymore: his car was taken in by the police, in the shoping center there are no more wonderbras and germaine – the girl he fancies – comes with some other man to his party. his frustration turns into an orgie of blood champaign and heroin…

You know you’re in for a ride with this picture from the opening moments. Roehler drops us smack in the middle of a blowout argument between a young couple whose sex life is on the skids. The fight is at that fever pitch where the woman is crying almost convulsively, and where each of them is beginning to lose their grip on saying sensible things and are on the verge of cheap shots and unhelpful attempts at humor. The scene is tangible and familiar to anyone who’s ever grappled with a fraying relationship, and, with a shocking abruptness, we’re immediately in the reality of Robert and Marie.

For 95 minutes that reality never wanes, and in fact expands to involve Robert’s deathly ill father and Marie’s previous attempts at suicide. There are a lot of movies about messed-up middle class couples. What makes “Angst” special is that, as messed-up as they are, Robert and Marie’s reality is not uniformly bleak. There are moments of delirious joy between them, and we have to take them at their word that these are moments that only occur when they are with each other. And like any of us, they have to figure out if they can live with the devil’s bargain: take the joy, and deal with the enormous fears that come with it.

Marie Baeumer’s a complex and deeply honest performance. She has what Martin Scorsese calls the ability to wage full wars on her face (although he was talking about classic, male movie stars when he said it). Her slightest expression shows the depth of both her affection and her contempt for Robert. For his part, Andre Hennicke plays Robert brilliantly. He’s as panicked over his own impulsive behavior as he is lovestruck for Marie.

In the Q&A at the AFI Fest, Roehler described his shooting process as being more theatrical than cinematic, which would go some length in explaining how he got such fantastic work from his actors, but he doesn’t give himself enough credit. He has a magnificent cinematic sense, one that had me thinking of Kieslowski and Tarkovsky throughout (and not just because of a blatant reference to “Solaris”). It is one of the most psychologically intelligent films I’ve seen in a good long time, but it’s also just a damn good movie.

One which, by the way does not have an American distributor, which is a goddamned crime! Of course, the suits are probably terrified by the level of nudity, both male and female, in the picture, and a few very graphic sexual moments. There’s no question it’s an NC-17 picture, but it would also get killer reviews and do serious art house business. The fact that a film like this has any trouble at all finding distribution in this country is all the evidence needed to indicate how culturally ass-backwards we have become.

Quote:
Agnes and his brothers have little in common, except an eccentric old father, relationship problems that are totally screwing up their lives, and the distinct possibility those two things are connected. Hans-Jörg conceals his sexual frustration behind his meek librarian appearance. Sex addict meetings don’t seem to be stopping his incessant masturbation and awkwardness with women. But his life changes drastically when he finds outlets for his anger and lusty libido. Werner is much more successful at political combat than family diplomacy. He’s caught up in an upperclass suburban nightmare and bickering is the only heat left in his marriage.

His rocky relationship with bored wife Signe is aggravated by his smartass, pot-cultivating teenage son. Agnes is haunted by the mother she never knew and perhaps too nostalgic about her past as a man. Despite her efforts, transgendered Agnes just can’t quite fit into the mold of the little homemaker expected by her bossy boyfriend. Once she’s out on the streets alone, Agnes wipes away her tears and proudly takes on her bleak future with a smile. Funny how simple everyday desires for sex, love and understanding can end up pushing people closer and closer to the edge. People like us (sort of), ready to explode at any moment.
