Dichterliebe

In Dichterliebe 2000 a film by Oliver Herrmann based on Robert Schumanns songcycle of the same name the boundaries between song recital and reality blur The chosen setting a night club in the centre of Berlin creates the intimate dark salon atmosphere in which the songs might also have been performed at the time they were written Returning to origins in this way the film departs from the concert atmosphere in which songrecitals are normally performed nowadays
