Making of Heimat (2013)

Making of Heimat plot

This making-of of the last part of Edgar Reitz' monumental Heimat series, Die Andere Heimat - Chronik einer Sehnsucht, starts with the casting. Thin actors or actresses with crooked teeth have an advantage because in 1840 the inhabitants of the Hunsrück lived in great famine and under harsh conditions. “None of us would have survived the winter then,” Reitz tells the actors, who he instructs to learn their mannerisms from amateur theater. Directors Jörg Adolph and Anja Pohl also stick to Reitz's advice: “Don't make an ordinary making-of, but a film that shows how films are made.” So we see how Reitz clashes with residents of the village of Gehlweiler – where the film village Schabbach will arise – about the closure of the access road, how there is suddenly no budget left to buy potatoes for a food scene, and how the perfectionist Reitz decides a modest role for the music towards the composer.
