Report by the Süddeutsche Zeitung on “Welt an der Würm – Fremde Heimat”
The Süddeutsche Zeitung reported on the documentary film “Welt an der Würm – Fremde Heimat” by Friedrich Klütsch, which focuses on life along the Würm River and was created over a period of more than fifteen years.
As the article describes, the film combines nature footage with interviews and observational scenes of people and places along the approximately 40-kilometer-long river. It addresses historical developments as well as contemporary social and ecological issues.
The newspaper identifies the presence of what is described as a recurring motif along the Würm River as a recurring motif. The film traces a historical arc from Roman times through the post-war years to events of the more recent past. It follows neither a geographical nor a chronological structure, instead arranging scenes associatively and largely dispensing with explanatory voice-over commentary.
