action
The budding journalist Georg is doing an internship at the daily newspaper of a small Bavarian town. However, he hated the narrow rural stench. He longs for the big wide world that he associates with Munich. When he pays a visit to this city, he meets the American Kim, a strange person. He lives in a dilapidated hut in the forest, surrounded by shady characters. Kim has only one goal: to make a career at any cost. For this purpose he founded a company, the "Wilder Reiter GmbH".
Kim hires Georg and makes him his publicity manager. On horseback, Kim goes on excursions to the Bavarian capital, gallops there over busy crossroads, and Georg captures every phase in the picture. He photographs how his employer steps into the bubble bath with a nude dancer, how he heroically saves the life of a nun whom he had previously driven into the moor himself. In this way he achieves what he wants: he causes a stir and his records sell like hotcakes.
When Kim gets more and more wrong with his means and becomes the victim of a self-staged attack, Georg bursts the collar. Only with great effort does he finally manage to free himself from the wild society.
Reviews
“Unconventional debut film that is characterized by originality, irony and aggressiveness and is not squeamish in the choice of its means. Despite the length and dramaturgical weaknesses to be recommended to critical adults. "
“Aggressive satire on hype, public manipulation and marketing of ideas. Franz-Josef Spieker's wild and disrespectful staging style is also directed against “Grandpa's Cinema” and tries to put the theses of the Oberhausen Manifesto into practice - unfortunately only with partial success. One of the first works of the «Young German Film». "
