DER BARENHAUTER (1986) * with switchable English and German subtitles *
The war is over and the soldier Christoffel has no future and no money. Despondent, he's about to blow his brains out when along comes the Devil, who offers him a deal: his pockets will always be full of money; but for seven years, he's not allowed to bathe, cut his hair or nails, and must sleep on a bearskin instead of a bed. If he fails to do any of this, he will forever be a servant of Satan. As a soldier, Christoffel often wasn't able to wash himself for weeks at a time and so sees these conditions as do-able. He accepts the deal. With his cares for the future apparently banished, Christoffel goes on his merry way, but after a short period of time, he finds himself lonely. At a festival, no girl wants to dance with him, because he looks dirty and unkempt (and stinks to high heaven). He tries to wash some of the dirt off himself in the rain, but this fails miserably. Soon, everyone's doing all they can to avoid him. Only at the king's court does he find some temporary semblance of friendship, but only because he's a lousy card player and loses huge sums to the king and his minions. When, after a bit, the royal attendants can no longer bear his stench, they attempt to steal his money and get rid of him. They discover, however, that his pockets are empty and assume he's lost all he had. Without further ado, they toss him out on his rear end.

Israeli dramatization of the Kastner trial, which rocked Israeli society as no other Holocaust-related trial would until the capture of Eichmann some seven years later. What starts out as a defamation case turns into both a political stunt to uproot the ruling elite of 1950s Israel and an attempt ot justify the existence of the new, self-invented Jewish identity based on Zionism versus the rejected "Diaspora Mentality" of Holocaust victims. Did the State of Israel and its people find a convenient scapegoat to deflect its lack of desire to help Jews being murdered in Europe and, at the same time, create a new narrative that the victims themselves were to blame for their deaths? Was Kastner simply the victim of political expediency and the rejection by relatives of the murdered to accept that he could not have prevented the catastrophe? An insightful and moving drama showing both possiblities.

DIE FREUNDE MEINER FRAU - VIER JUNGE DETEKTIVE (1949): Walter Brinkmann is the epitome of an over-correct, loyal German bourgeois who always makes sure that customs and order always prevail in his home with his wife and three underage children. The free spirit and lyricist Bernd Freiberg, who Walter advises on financial matters, is the exact opposite of Walter.

Freiberg is hoping that the father of the family will thaw out a bit and get to know the relaxed and funny side of life. When Walter actually attends the performance with his wife, Freiberg holds up a mirror to him with a Brinkmann parody. While everyone in the audience laughs, Walter is deeply outraged, believing that he is nothing like Freiberg portrays. But soon he also realizes that he lacks the lightness of being and that he should dare to do something, sometimes, to go out of his way; to outwit his own pedantic ego.
Walter Brinkmann ist der Inbegriff eines berkorrekten, treudeutschen Spie ers, der stets darauf achtet, dass in seinem Heim mit Ehefrau und den drei minderj hrigen Kindern stets Sitte und Ordnung herrscht. Der von Walter in finanziellen Angelegenheiten beratene Freigeist und Textdichter Bernd Freiberg ist das exakte Gegenteil von Walter, und er l dt Brinkmann daraufhin in das Kabarett ein, f r das er Liedtexte liefert, die seine Schwester Fee singt. Freiberg hat die Hoffnung, dass der Familienvater mit dem Flair eines Sparkassenbeamten etwas auftaut und mal auch die lockeren und lustigen Seiten des Lebens kennenlernt. Als Walter tats chlich mit seiner Frau die Vorstellung besucht, h lt ihm Freiberg mit einer Brinkmann-Parodie den Spiegel vor. W hrend alle im Publikum lachen, ist Walter zutiefst emp rt, glaubt er doch, dass er so, wie Freiberg ihn darstelle, berhaupt nicht sei. Doch bald erkennt auch er, dass ihm die Leichtigkeit des Seins fehlt und dass er mal auch etwas wagen sollte, auch mal ber die Str nge schlagen sollte, um seinem eigenen, pedantischen Ego ein Schnippchen zu schlagen.
