Biography

Bohm a grandi sur l'île Amrum, en mer du Nord. Après avoir terminé ses études secondaires à Hambourg en 1959, il est diplômé en droit, effectue un stage en 1969, puis se consacre entièrement à l'art du cinéma. Il est formé au métier d'acteur en jouant dans plusieurs films de Fassbinder. Ce dernier lui confie de préférence des rôles de pédant et d'homme autoritaire. En 1971, Hark Bohm avec d'autres auteurs du Nouveau cinéma allemand, ont créé le Filmverlag der Autoren. Dans les années suivantes, il a réalisé plusieurs courts métrages avant Tschetan, der Indianerjunge, un premier long métrage primé. Plusieurs films ont suivi qui se voulaient avant tout une critique de la société. Hark Bohm est aussi connu comme cofondateur du Hamburger Filmbüros (1979). Cette même année, avec Werner Herzog, Volker Schlöndorff et Wim Wenders, il a également lancé le Festival du film de Hambourg, lors de la "Déclaration" dite "de Hambourg". En 1993, il a fondé le département d'études cinématographiques à l'Université de Hambourg, - où il a également été professeur à partir de 1992 - département qui fut ensuite intégré en 2004 à l'École des médias de Hambourg. Hark Bohm est membre de l'Académie Libre des Arts de Hambourg. Il est en outre le frère de l'acteur Marquard Bohm et le père adoptif de l'acteur Uwe Bohm, qui a joué comme adolescent des rôles principaux dans plusieurs de ses films, pour la plupart encore sous son vrai nom Uwe Enkelmann. Bohm et sa femme Natalia ont adopté quatre enfants.

Isaak Kohler (Maximilian Schell) coolly walked up to a man everyone assumed was his friend and shot him dead. This took place in front of dozens of witnesses in a busy restaurant, and there was no question about his guilt. What he never revealed was his motive. He has been in prison serving a twenty-year sentence ever since. Perhaps in order to ease his daughter's pain about the incident, he has hired a legal representative to arrange for him to receive a retrial. He is still unforthcoming about his reasons for committing the crime, and invites the struggling lawyer to make something up. This crime and courtroom drama is based on a novel by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, whose works are highly respected within the German-speaking intellectual community but whose appeal has proved difficult to translate.

Fritz Knobel (the film's alter-ego of real-life forger Konrad Kujau) supports himself by faking and selling Nazi memorabilia. So he sells a portrait of Eva Braun and one volume of Hitler's alleged diaries to factory owner Karl Lenz. Lenz presents this on a "birthday party to the Führer" to his guests, among them sleazy journalist Hermann Willié. Willié is working for the magazine "HH press" (real-world Stern magazine is located in Hamburg, which is abbreviated "HH" on German car license plates; "HH" is pronounced "haha", but is also an abbreviation of "heil Hitler"). In the events Knobel writes down according to what happens around him; after he meets his later lover Martha, she becomes his inspiration for Eva Braun. As he then comes under increasing stress, having to deliver the remaining volumes that he had already sold, he turns more and more into a mock image of Hitler himself.
