Joschka and Herr Fischer is a German film portrait from 2011. At the center is the former Green Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer . The director Pepe Danquart interweaves an extensive monologue by the politician with interviews and descriptions of German history after 1945.
Essential aspects of the 140-minute work are Fischer's youth in the small town of Langenburg near Schwäbisch Hall , the radicalization of the student movement in Frankfurt and Berlin , his time as the first green environment minister in the Hessian state government under Holger Börner from 1985 and his time as German foreign minister.
Besides Joschka Fischer, interviewees include Daniel Cohn-Bendit , Katharina Thalbach , Hans Koschnick , die Fehlfarben , Roger de Weck , Johnny Klinke and others. The film uses the Spreepark in the Plänterwald , the new safe and relevant bars in Frankfurt's political scene as locations.
At the start in May 2011, the film received rather negative reviews. Die Zeit praised the pictures, but criticized a certain "adulation". The Süddeutsche Zeitung criticized the film for lacking any distance to the subject of its narrative, and the FAZ criticized the uncritical approach and the incomplete reproduction of the events.
