criticism
Does the discoverer of the meatball? If such food is not collective performance? Dishes that emerge slowly, according to the logic of their material conditions as it may be, for example, been with the burger: you had crumbs and little meat, but wanted to fill the stomach, as offered the handle on both and was to full desire you had the meat and the bread zusammenmanschen yes. . Many are doing it have, simultaneously, in different places, and witness the different names, too: Fleischbengelchen, meatball, meatballs, rabbit ears, meat cookie "So it is in a prominent place in Uwe Timm's novel" The Invention of Curried Sausage "- and just this place is in Ulla Wagner's film unfortunately did not before. Just as the narrator fiction, double, nested memory, the retrieval situation of the impatient narrator, the postmodern self-reference, the narrative logic breaks (Bremer's lost sense of taste) and all the little digressions and everyday observations of Timms impressive complex novel about the lies and cunning delaying unpleasant truths. Ulla Wagner, who is also responsible for the screenplay, has opted for focused psychological chamber drama, wants an unusual but telling actually not improbable love story. Hamburg, in April 1945. The Nazi regime is on its last legs, but wants to take revenge by Volkssturm and total mobilization nor that the Germans have once again proven to be too weak for the conquest of the world. Hamburg has been declared a fortress and to the last man to be defended, while the Allies bombed the city almost continuously. If the Political system is gradually being overcome, it says in any case the film grows, the individual scope of action. The not so young Lena Bruckner, played outstandingly by Barbara Sukowa, works as a manager of a canteen and learns the evening before the film the young sailor Hermann (very smart: Alexander Khuon), whom she takes home as the next air attack, the newsreel ended. Lena's husband Gary, a rogue and ne'er-do, and Lena's son went missing at the front. Hermann takes the offer of the woman, deserted and hides in her apartment. Thus begins a love story against the concrete circumstances of the time, cheerful, spontaneous and subversive in every way. Still do not believe only the block waiting for the final victory, nor be held in establishments propaganda speeches, but the biggest threat to this relationship is based on peace. Lena Bremer has concealed that he married and father of a young child, but Lena discovers a photo of the young family. When the war ends, she decides to extend their brief happiness with a little silence, while Hermann begins to dream of the next expedition to the east. The small apartment, previously was the retreat of the lovers becomes a prison, while not as mixed at the door without the cards. When Lena, disgusted shocked by the images from the concentration camps and of Hermann's war fantasies but then the capitulation of the German Empire must report this means the end of the relationship. Hermann disappears, as he came, but the energy that Lena has withdrawn from this meeting goes, after all, in order to secure even after the return of the unfaithful husband's independence. The eponymous "Invention of Curried Sausage" is reflective of the liberating energy of the "impossible" love story of Lena and Herman, but does the combination of two things that do not fit together really, really well: "rubble and a new beginning, süßlichscharfe anarchy" (Uwe Timm ). In contrast to the literary source is allowed, the film conventionally melodramatic "cloture" of a recent meeting of former lovers before Lenas Currywurstbude. The exciting on several levels reflected and folded structure of Timm's novel could not and did not film Ulla Wagner. Its consistently simplistic finishing the presentation to a relatively linear narrative, which focuses entirely on the psychology of the protagonist of something stage-like atmosphere makes the image pushed time, from "The Invention of Curried Sausage," an entertaining feel-good film elevated levels. Of course this one has a little too often feel they have seen it all before, such as "The Marriage of Maria Braun" (FD 21 181) Rainer Werner Fassbinder, on the "The Invention of Curried Sausage" would easily pass as a prequel. Told, however, with the resources and limitations of a moderate at best ambitious television play, unafraid of any dramatic concession to the audience. Ulrich Kriest (filmdienst 19/2008)
