Detektive oder Die glücklosen Engel der inneren Sicherheit
The “Film about the Father” is a difficult genre. Andreas Goldstein, son of the GDR cultural functionary Klaus Gysi (1912–1999) has tackled this task with a complete lack of vanity, but with insistence: measured and calm, honest and intellectual, analytical and personal. He uncovers a mosaic that renounces both the teleologies of the self-styled winners of history and the simplifications of (West) German Oscar nominees. This film is not about the lives of others, but about his own life. Not about yesterday, about today, too.
The Communist
The capitulation of German socialism on November 9, 1989, happened almost incidentally — through a travel law. Thirty-five years after the disappearance of the GDR, this essayistic documentary reflects on transformation through personal memory and public imagery.
