Deutschboden

»A literary film adaptation of a different kind. Literature and re-staged reality gape apart. In contrast, Schäfer, especially at the beginning, repeatedly creates images of enchanting scenic beauty. The break is principle, it suits the film well.«

»With wit, affection and the necessary humility for the simple life.«

»After exploring "Hardrockhausen" one wishes there were more such participating observations.«

»An interesting portrait of German realities that discovers the beautiful in the ugly without exposing its protagonists.«

»A clever, escapist and passionate documentary. If you know the book, you should still see the film. A shy, self-surprised declaration of love to the province and very successful cinema.«

»Elegant, rich picture of East German reality.«

»Amusing, by no means stupid documentary, in which reality and fiction clash fruitfully.«

»Intimate look behind Hartz IV and Nazi rock clichés. Authentic!«
