Karl Valentin: Der Unverstandene(2019)
Karl Valentin: Der Unverstandene Synopsis
Karl Valentin is the greatest Bavarian comedian... but: maybe it's all just a misunderstanding? In any case, Valentin only saw himself as a folk singer, but he also produced Dadaist works of art and wrote futuristic songs. Today, he has a reputation as a comedian who has somewhat fallen out of time. In this film essay, Andreas Ammers asks contemporary comedians such as Luise Kinseher, Willy Astor, Helmut Schleich and Christian Springer about their relationship to their great ancestor. Above all, however, he examines how Karl Valentin would come across if he were played in High German today.
Karl Valentin: Der Unverstandene (2019) is a documentary film directed by Andreas Ammer, released on January 29, 2019. It stars Karl Valentin, Senta Berger, Luise Kinseher and Christian Springer.
