3096 Days is a German film drama from 2013 . It is based on the autobiography of the Austrian Natascha Kampusch , who was kidnapped and held captive for eight years . Bernd Eichinger co-wrote the script, but he died before the book was finished.

action

In March 1998, ten-year-old Natascha Kampusch was dragged into a van on her way to school in Vienna . Her kidnapper, communications engineer Wolfgang Přiklopil, brings the girl to his house in Strasshof in Lower Austria . The girl is locked in a small room under the garage. Eight years of food deprivation, physical and psychological violence lie ahead of Natascha.

While the public and the media are slowly forgetting the name Natascha Kampusch , the girl decides to be stronger than “the perpetrator” and promises herself to start a new life at the age of eighteen and to escape her martyrdom, which she did after 3096 days also holds.

Relation to reality

The film essentially sticks to known facts, but also contains scenes that are fictitious. This includes the rape scenes in particular, as Natascha Kampusch does not want to talk about this topic. Also, a displayed day number (only a little more than 5 years) does not match the season of the scene (Christmas) or the actual kidnapping date (March 2nd, 1998).

production

Shooting of the film started in May 2012. Most of it took place in the Bavaria Filmstudios in Munich , where Natascha Kampusch's dungeon was reconstructed in detail from original photos. Some exterior shots were taken in Vienna for the purpose of greater authenticity . The scene in which Natascha is skiing with her tormentor was also created in the Tyrolean mountains. Nevertheless, the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF) did not take part in the production, so that 3096 days is not a co-production between Germany and Austria. Erni Mangold is the only Austrian actress to play Wolfgang Přiklopil's grandmother.

In order to be able to market the film well internationally, the film was shot in English with internationally known actors.

The audio description of the film was spoken by Beate Himmelstoss and was awarded the German audio film award in the cinema category in 2014.

The world premiere of the film was on February 25, 2013 in Vienna . Since February 28, 2013 it can be seen in both German and Austrian cinemas.

In Austria the film attracted 30,000 viewers to the cinemas on the opening weekend, in Germany it was 144,000.

Reviews

“3096 DAYS is cruel, exciting and confusing. A very special mixture that couldn't have been more appropriate to the subject of the film. The focus on the diversity of its characters is the quality seal of the film and allows the main actors Thure Lindhardt and Antonia Campbell-Hughes to flourish. Despite the very bitter topic, an absolute must-see this cinema year! "

- Kino7.de

“3096 Tage is sometimes reserved and sometimes intrusive, sometimes distant and sometimes emotionally charged, and plays with the parameters of what is consumable without exploring them. Hormann's film is always good for a heated up discourse about victims and perpetrators. But: The films, the way they were made, inevitably stay in your head. Those who don't know what to do with their real role model, but not. "

- critic.de

“[3096 days is] a technically flawless, excitingly narrated and powerfully played women's drama, which unfortunately cannot be thought of as far from its diverse meta-discourses. [...] The atmospherically dense film, staged with a tremendous, no-frills intensity, alternates between prison film, torture porn and a fascinatingly absurd sadomasochistic love story. "

- filmfutter.com

“The film shows how Priklopil rapes his victim and forces him into the grotesque caricature of a relationship. But Horman [...] does not allow any gran eroticism. She also doesn't place sex as the centerpiece of the film, but stages it as a small part of the widespread abuse. That this works is also due to the great actors, to Antonia Campbell-Hughes, who shows us the teenager, and to Thure Lindhardt, who plays Priklopil. "

"A distanced chamber play that remains on the surface with its observer position, but at the same time intensifies the relationships of dependency between people."
