Sehnsucht in Sangerhausen at the Cineville Preview Days
This festival favourite from the Locarno Film Festival is another one that’s not to be missed during the Cineville Preview Days. In director Julian Radlmaier’s latest, the residents of Sangerhausen – a small town in Central Germany – are haunted by the ghosts of their history, from the early twentieth century to the present day. Radlmaier’s dialogue and visuals reminded us of early Wes Anderson and Aki Kaurismäki’s dry wit.
