THE EFC REVIEW

Synopsis: (final cut, 2001, 16mm, 94 min.)

Nina Hagen. A psychodocumentarymusicfilm.
A sort of "direct cinema“-portrait as a collage.
Moments and scenes in her life.
Her singing from classical to punk, pop, chanson and indian folk and temple songs.
Nina Hagen – today. Few archival footage for "flashbacks".
Energy – Desire – Chaos – Peace.
In front, on- and backstage, in private and public life – hardly a difference, like a rollercoaster.
You see her with her family and some friends: Lemmy (Motörhead), George Clinton, Anthony Kiedis (Red Hot Chili Peppers), "Angelyne“ (L.A.), Lene Lovich, Blixa, Udo Kier, D.D. Ramone, her Guru Muniradshi, Thomas D., Jonas Mekas, Maria D.
Main Idea: To show the wellknown "Diva" (wild, colourful, loud) and the other side of her: quiet, loving, poetic.
