Der Berührbare - Der Filmregisseur Oskar Röhler

About This Movie

So, 'Der Berührbare' dives into the world of Oskar Roehler, who really divides audiences. You've got this raw, unfiltered look at a director who's both celebrated and critiqued—kind of a Rainer Werner Fassbinder vibe, you know? The film captures his complexities, his genius and his, well, monstrous side, as seen through the eyes of those who know him best. Hannelore Elsner's take on him adds depth; she highlights that brilliance while hinting at the chaos. The pacing meanders, which reflects Roehler's own unpredictable style. If you appreciate documentaries that peel back layers of personality, this one's got a distinct atmosphere—equal parts admiration and discomfort. Definitely a fascinating watch for anyone interested in modern German cinema.
