action

Red cabbage and blue cabbage is a documentary film portrait of two families with a German- Turkish background living in the Ruhr area . The film illuminates the social network of the protagonists and shows them as people who build a bridge between two cultures. The film tries to show how the protagonists are enriched or hindered in their everyday life by their origins, their cultural and religious background. With their tangible Ruhr area humor, the portrayed family dispels prejudices and laughs at misunderstandings.

criticism

In an interview on “Courage for new developments for German television” for the casting network, Gebhard Henke, head of the TV film, cinema and series program at WDR , praised the film: “That is a form of sensitivity that you have to have. I have just seen an impressive documentary film 'Rotkohl und Blaukraut' by Anna Hepp, who is observing two families, namely a Turkish sibling pair, both of whom are married to Germans. What problems and joys arise in such a family, how things go with the children ... Despite all the conflicts and the social balancing act, this is incredibly positive and just great to look at. You get in a really good mood because they are so contagious and humorous about how they deal with their problems. "

The film critic Thomas Vorwerk , on the other hand, judged during the Berlinale for satt.org, “Red cabbage and blue cabbage is a bit 'docu light”, but is far more aware of its documentary approach than some other documentary films that take themselves damn seriously, but every now and then Let it be seen that they are not living up to their own standards. Anna Hepp doesn't want to change the world, she just wants to give insights into a completely normal family life. And it is precisely their completely undidactic, almost playful approach, which could also be wrongly interpreted as naive, could reach far more viewers, whose preconceptions could be questioned a little by the film. Because normal people are much more worth seeing than political speech-makers. Regardless of nationality, origin and religion. "
