GUNDERMANN (Andreas Dresen 2018)

Dresen and his screenwriter Laily Stieler team with the great German actor Alexander Scheer and an excellent cast to look back at the life of Gerhard Gundermann, the soulful East German singer-songwriter of the 1980's and 1990's, whose smart, bittersweet and political songs were offset by his contradictory life and his intractable nature, which forces him in the early 1990's to confront his former Stasi collaboration.
