Roses bloom on the heather grave - Das Lied vom Vaterland is a German historical silent film by director Curt Blachnitzky from 1929.
background
The script of the film follows a novella by Fritz Mischke . The production and distribution company was Trianon-Film GmbH Berlin. The film was shot by Atelier Jofa in September and October 1929 in the Lüneburg Heath . The first performances were on December 10, 1929 in Dresden and on December 25, 1929 in Berlin's Roxy Palace. The original version had 6 acts and a length of 2203 meters. The censors did not recognize the film as artistic or popular.
The film of the same name from 1952 has nothing to do with this work. Although rape also occurs in this film, it has a completely different storyline.
action
The action takes place during the French period in 1806 in a small heath village. A French corporal is staying in the house of the farmer Joachim Schlaeger , who is constantly drunk and who ultimately rapes Schlaeger's wife . Furious with rage, the husband knocks the corporal unconscious and flees. He is caught and sentenced to death by a military tribunal .
Reviews
The film reviews were consistently negative:
“The otherwise national and patriotic strip of images shows an improbability in the figure of the French commander, who oozes love, kindness and humanity. Furthermore, in the end, unfortunately, one cannot refrain from making a reference to international reconciliation, which is certainly not in place here. "
“... under the tempting title there is a nationalistic hype; its execution is beyond discussion. "
