Berlinale 2008 – The Beauties of Leipzig
Gunther Scholz’s Sag mir, wo die Schönen sind (The Beauties of Leipzig) (2007) programmed in the Panorama, similarly chronicles the lives of nine women. Back in 1989, when the film begins, the women were 20-year-old “beauties” – and the German Democratic Republic (GDR) still existed. Today, they are all around 40, but still beautiful… Gerhard Gäbler, a student and amateur photographer, hit upon the idea of a photo documentary project and asked the candidates if they would agreed to sitting. Eighteen years later, when Scholz and Gäbler visited these women again, they agreed to bring the stories of their lives up to the present. And that’s what makes The Beauties of Leipzig a warmly human viewing experience – in addition to being an important social document.
Feitagabend, den 25. April 2014 wurde im RBB Fernsehen um 0:00 Sag mir, wo die Schönen sind von Gunther Scholz gezeigt. Leider nicht in der ARD-Mediathek zum Nachschauen verfügbar. Denn der Dokumentalfilm von der “Miss Leipzig”-Wahl 1989 ist seeehr sehenswert!
