IN JENEN TAGEN - ENGLISCH
Those Days
An early post-war production, this film was shot in the ruins of
Germany in 1947. Helmut Käutner and his co-author Ernst Schnabel used
the novel idea of telling the story from the perspective of a car: from
its first registration in 1933 through to its final scrapping in 1947.
Thus they re-tell the history of an era. Through seven episodes, the
fates of the car's sucessive owners are depicted, among them a composer
whose music is classed as 'degenerate'; a Jewish couple; a deserting
soldier; an old woman who is fleeing the Nazis. The film takes a
sincere look at life under Hitler's regime. It presents a multi-faceted
view of Germany, recalling the social and human ambience of 'those
days'.
