NRW PREMIERE: BAD DIRECTOR
CONCLUDING FILM TALK WITH GUESTS, a.o. DIRECTOR
Gregor Samsa (Oliver Masucci), an ageing director in his late 50s, is actually in his prime but no longer knows what to do with it. The post-midlife crisis and neglect of prosperity are taking hold, Samsa indulges in his hedonism with visits to brothels, alcohol consumption and bored night-time tours through the city. He dreads the industry that made him big. He survives the German Film Award reception drunk and blaspheming, and comments on his colleagues' showcase with bitter mockery. He leaves the party in a hurry and takes refuge in a second-hand bookshop. Grete (Bella Dayne) appears here, fairy-like and beautiful, whom he meets again a little later in a brothel of all places and chooses her as his sensual and intellectual muse.
