Gundermann
Followed by a discussion with Director Andreas Dresen.
GUNDERMANN tells the story of a digger driver who writes songs. He is a poet, a clown, an idealist. He dreams and hopes, loves and struggles. He’s a spy who gets spied on, a do-gooder who doesn’t know better. He is torn. GUNDERMANN is both a music film and a love story; a drama about guilt and entanglement, about suppression and confrontation.
Dave Robb and Band play the Post-Industrial Songs of Gerhard Gundermann on Tuesday 15th April, 8pm at Belltable. Book here.
