DIE HERREN DER SPIELE
Germany 2012 – Director: Uta Bodenstein – Original language: German – Length: 88 min.
Slipping into a different skin. For Chris, Nick and Matthias this is not just wishful thinking. They can transform themselves into whatever they want, whether it be an elf a zombie or a knight. Fantasy knows no boundaries. Like thousands of others in Germany the three of them are avid live action role players. Over the course of a weekend they can escape their everyday life as teachers students or pharmacists and fulfil their secret childhood dreams. By contrast to video games, the other players here are as present as one’s own heartbeat. With powerful images and a strong sense of irony, the film whisks us away to an unfamiliar place, a long-established firm hold in the lives of many. Anne Thomé
