Remaining mature attitudes is a documentary by Peter Ott from 2007 about the Hamburg band Die Goldenen Zitronen .

action

In his documentary, the director Peter Ott deals with the history of the Golden Lemons and the contradiction of pop music with political claims. For the reconstruction of the band biography, Peter Ott uses old archive material, interviews, documentary recordings and scenes specially staged for the film. His rockumentary is divided into four chapters: irony vs. Ideology , autonomy vs. Economy , audience vs. political corrections and self-reflection vs. Secondary use , which shows the change of the golden lemons over the last 20 years from the fun punk band to the compulsion to take a political position to experimenting with many musical styles and the arrival of individual members in the public cultural scene.

On the one hand, the breaks are shown in the history of the golden lemons . B. concerns the performances of the band. While the concerts in the 1980s had a rather entertaining character, at later concerts the expectations of their audience are consciously denied or rejected due to the appearance of the singer Schorsch Cameroon and the musical performance of the band. On the other hand, the film illustrates the continuities in the attitude of the band, which began as a so-called fun punk band in the mid-1980s, but already back then with its lyrics, musical style that partly moved away from punk , and the wearing of hit clothes in the punk scene and made fun of their rigid musical dogmas and which, in contrast to their companions at the time, the Toten Hosen and the Doctors , took a commercial route, including by refusing to work with major labels and participating in Mainstream in pop culture , denied to this day.

The film was on 16 April 2007 as part of the documentary weeks hamburg premiered .

criticism

“Portrait of the Hamburg-based political punk and avant-garde band 'Die Goldenen Zitronen', which tries to approximate the musicians and their ostentatiously refusing attitude appropriately. Despite the rich archive material and statements from ex-band members, the film shows astonishing gaps and leaves a lot to be desired. "
