production
The shooting ran from July 6th to August 19th, 2016 in Hamburg . The director İlker Çatak , for whom Once upon a time Indianerland is making his feature film debut, filmed the screenplay by Nils Mohl and Max Reinhold. The basis, the novel of the same name by Mohl, had already been adapted into a play in 2013. Regarding his motivation for the project, director Çatak said:
“One of the reasons I tackled this film is because it's an unusual and pretty crazy subject. Something like that is very rare. This film has to be like a wild trip. By that I mean not only the physical journey, but also the psychedelic one. You shouldn't want to control them either. "
The film was released on October 19, 2017.
criticism
The film received positive reviews from critics. Britta Schmeis from epd Film said in her conclusion: "Shrill music clip, dreamy fairy tale, road movie and coming-of-age story - with his film adaptation of the novel by Nils Mohl, Ilker Çatak has created a genre of its own."
Thomas Vorwerk von Filmstarts awarded three out of five stars and placed the film “somewhere between Tarantino and Trainspotting ”.
