The Cuckoo Years
‘Kuckucksjahre’, GER 1967, directed by Cristina Perincioli, 95 min, English subtitles, rating: 16
In garishly colorful sequences, director George Moorse turns being on the road into a way of life for a dropout clique from Munich’s Schwabing district. Young Hans takes each day as it comes but is no longer enjoying himself. However, his girlfriend Petra has threatened to break up with him if he changes his laidback lifestyle. Star designer Ardy serves as his role model but only fleetingly, while the older generation doesn’t provide any support. After all, he has to trust his experience and find his own way through life.
Featuring: Franziska Oehme, Rolf Zacher, Ardy Strüwer, Dunja Rajter, Hubert von Meyerinck
