Kitchen conversations with rebels
Karin Berger, Elisabeth Holzinger, Lotte Podgornik, Lisbeth N. Trallori, AT 1984, 80 min.
In 'Kitchen Talks with Rebels', four women talk about their resistance to National Socialism, recalling their experiences with calm and determination, sometimes with mischievous wit. Karin Berger follows their memories. The film's minimalism is not merely the result of trust in the power of storytelling, but even more so of the necessity of remembering, of bearing witness. During the conversation in the kitchen, 40 years later, the experience has lost none of its terrible intensity. An important gesture of this film is the visualization of the inexplicable, which can no longer be understood and which must nevertheless be told. The courage that these women were able to muster and millions of others were not can only remain incomprehensible. The resilience that turned them into rebels.
