"The Naked King" on titel thesen temperamente

Wow, ARD titel thesen temperamente reports on "The Naked King – 18 Fragments on Revolution". The broadcast date is Sunday, 24 January 2021, at 23:05. From the teaser for the programme: "A never-ending pandemic, turbulence in the American presidential election – it feels like we are on the brink of a radical global upheaval, perhaps even a revolution. At least one film distributor (W-film) doesn't want to be held back by the ongoing cinema shutdown and is releasing – now digitally – a film that deals with just that: revolution." From 11 February 2021 exclusively in the W-film online cinema at www.wfilm.de/en/the-naked-king/film-dvd-bluray-vod. Good cause: Closed cinemas that co-promote the online release will share in the revenue!
