Synopsis:
One of the most influential and visionary artists of the past century is celebrated in this documentary which covers the highlights of his fascinating career. The format of the film mirrors the restless reality of his life; an inveterate traveller and always on the move, Max Ernst lived and worked in Germany, France, and America. His nomadic way of life kept him searching: “A painter is lost if he finds himself.” This film looks at his involvement with the Dadaists in Cologne, his time in Paris, his flight to New York, his life in America, and his return to Europe, revealing the “private, brittle places of refuge” he created at various stages in his life.

Fruhlingsinfonie “Spring Symphony” (1983): Starring Nastassia Kinski, Herbert Gronemeyer, Rolf Hoppe, Andre Heller, Marie Colbin, Margit Geissler, Gidon Kemer, Inge Marschall, Kitty Matern, Uwe Muller, Peter Schamoni’s 1983 German film “Spring Symphony” is an intimate, accurate portrayal of the relationship between two composers- Robert Schumann and Clara. It is a wonderful film, with fine acting by the leads Herbert Gronemeyer and Natassia Kinksi, who had been a model and would enjoy further success after this movie.

The time is early 19th century (1830-1850)during the Romantic Era craze in classical music. Beethoven opened the gates to the new wave of music, which would be followed by Chopin and Franz Liszt, all mentioned in this film.

Robert Schumann is portrayed here as a struggling artist, an idealist who lives from hand to mouth, more along the lines of Mozart. He gets romantically involved with the more wealthier and polished Clara Wieck whose father opposes their love. Even like this, Robert and Clara, who had become lovers through working together as composers, continue to defiantly engage in their relationship.

Clara’s father is brought to trial but in the end Clara and Robert are married. The film is accurate, and not highly dramatized or romanticized far from the truth.

Filmed in Germany, Austria and France, the film follows the career of Schumann quite truthfully – i.e: the fact he was injured and his fingers were paralized and even as such played the piano quite well, his publication of a music magazine under the pen names of Eusebius and Florestan.

Eusebius is his practical, balanced side while Florestan is passionate and free-spirited. A beautiful film. Natassia Kinksi plays a fine Clara, strong, independent, refined, romantic, soulful. The costumes and attention to detail are precise, captivating us and hooking us into a new world of historical romance.

Writer director Alfred Hirschmeier’s film about Clara Wieck and Robert Schumann offers a parallel between Schumann and Wieck’s father, who are both seen to profit from their association with Clara, the child prodigy, and when the climactic trial takes place with Clara and Schumann suing Wieck senior for consent for them to be married, one’s sympathies are divided. It isn’t just that Schumann, who looks a good 10 years older than Clara Wieck, is the more unlikeable since he is always blaming his inability to compose on his poor financial position, and his love of Clara doesn’t stop him from regular infidelities. There’s also the queasy incestuous behaviour between the Wiecks, actor Herbert Gronemeyer who plays Schumann’s facial resemblance to Nastassja Kinski’s (she plays Clara) real life father Klaus, and Schumann being a student of Mr Wieck so adopting a father/son relationship. History tells us of the outcome, but we also get the suggestion that Clara’s marriage also means the subjugation of her identity to her husband’s. We are told that she became the greatest exponent of Schumann’s music, but this sounds like a compromise for someone who could have been the greatest pianist of all time. Hirschmeier’s screenplay is full of corny melodrama such as “How will this all end?”, “Just think how many great musicians have come before you”, “If you want my life, it is yours for the asking”, “I want to melt in your music”, “I was struck by a moonbeam”, and the inevitable classical music comparison spoken by Schumann – “Bach has the heaviness, Mozart the lightness, Beethoven the warmth, and Schubert the darkness. What do you have? The nothingness. I have the infinity of nothingness which is greater than all things together”. There is also the odd use of “house arrest” described for what we know refer to as a child being grounded. Hirschmeier provides a montage of posters for Clara’s concerts, a cut from news of Schumann’s inability to marry another female to Clara’s performance triumph, a scene where the blind touch Kinski’s hands, and a sound edit from orchestral musicians tapping to horses hooves of a moving carriage. Although this biopic may spare us the Hollywood-ised cliches of composer biopics, where the music is an extension of the artist’s life, the treatment here is perhaps too reverential. As Wieck senior, Rolf Hoppe makes someone that could have been played as a villian some nice touches, with Hoppe and Kinski being a more dynamic team than Kinski and Gronemeyer. There is one scene where Kinski sits in Hoppe’s lap and we watch the perverse testing of where she will allow his hands to go, in spite of his own humiliation. Kinski captures the transformation of Clara from gawky teenager to emerging beauty, and whilst there is one shot where we see her hands and body playing the piano, otherwise there is no pretence made that she is performing Clara’s pieces.

The post Peter Schamoni – Moskau ruft! aka Moscow Is Calling! (1959) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
‘Two old school friends, both in their late twenties. One lives on his parent’s rural estate and does nothing; the other half-heartedly pursues work as a journalist in Düsseldorf. While he allows himself to be lulled by the stifling petty bourgeoisie of his mother-in-law to be, he also enjoys the baronial hunting parties in the country. With their indifferent attitude, the two make cynical and blasé comments about prevailing conventions – the ones they’ll never break away from… Precisely located in place via documentary images, and in time with a reference to “the new Godard” (Une femme mariée), Schonzeit für Füchse is a milieu study that recaps the end of the Adenauer era for the petty and grand bourgeoisie in the lower Rhine region. Criticism of the continuity of handed-down authority was clearly evident in scenes of the hunt, with the hunters’ soldierly demeanour and its military rituals. As a hunting author who is as brutish as he is sentimental, the former star of UFA films Willy Birgel emblematically embodies “the stable, restorative self-assurance of the forefathers” (Günter Seuren), against which the young men had, at the time, no chance.
