content
The starting point of Sühnhaus , who is also the essay film can be attributed to the Ring Theater fire of 8 December 1881 in Vienna and then by I. Emperor Franz Joseph built, called Sühnhaus . McKechneay associates this story with motifs from the haunted house film, the story of Sigmund Freud , who was a tenant in the Atonement House at the beginning of his career, and the arrogance of power up to the present day. Characteristic of the film are the subjective perspective and the use of animations by the visual artist and theater designer Michaela Mandel.
Reviews
"In her essayistic documentary, Maya McKechneay follows the traces of the Ringtheater fire of 1881 - and finds not only the ghosts of the dead from back then, but also a piece of Viennese intellectual history"
"(...) Maya McKechneay, a Munich-born film critic who lives in Vienna, creates a touching memorial to these victims in her beautiful, first long documentary:" Atonement "is what McKechneay calls her delicate memory work, which exposes explosive layers of Viennese local history."
"Schottenring 7. The Ringtheater burned down 135 years ago, the haunted house documentary" Atonement House "retells the story of" 9/11 of the year 1881 ": Of fatal architecture, failure of the authorities and Sigmund Freud."
