About Die Emser Depesche
Theme of this scenic documentation is the consistent preparation of the Franco-German War by Bismarck and leading Prussian military, who, with the help of the conservative and liberal Berlin press, created the mood in which the publication of the heavily redacted "Emser Depesche" showed an effect desired by Bismarck. The authenticity of the game plot is supported by documents and documentary material.
Directed by Ralph Boettner, Die Emser Depesche leans on a strong ensemble — Fritz Bartholdt, Wilhelm Koch-Hooge, Wolfgang Thal — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1976.
