The movies and documentaries today on 3SAT, all about 1968, were well worth watching. And they sent me back to the time when I was 17. One of the movies shown was "Zur Sache, Schätzchen". It had been one of my favourites, and it was interesting to see it now, 40 years later. Then it had offered me a glimpse of lazy pseudo-artistic life in Munich, a new world, different from family life in Düsseldorf. Nothing I was curious to experience though. But fun.
Everybody loved it then, the cinemas showed it for more than one year, it won prizes, and was entered to the Cannes film festival even. But the festival was brought to a halt because of the social movements in France in May 1968 (more about it here).
We saw Vietnam, Rudi Dutschke, Martin Luther King on tv, we demonstrated for a better world, without war, without racism, and since we wouldn't wait for the big revolution, we tried small steps, too, discussed about what would be best, and how to do it, until late at night, and started new ways of living and working together.
And all this time we went to the movies and laughed about this film.
