About Friedrich - Ein deutscher König
„Friedrich - Ein deutscher König” beschreibt in markanten Schlüsselszenen die wesentlichen Lebensstationen des Preußenherrschers. Katharina Thalbach verkörpert den „Alten Fritz”, ihre Tochter Anna den Kronprinzen und jungen König. Der Film rekonstruiert Aufstieg und Leben des Preußenkönigs und schildert dessen zentrale Stationen - von der durch den Despotismus des Vaters gezeichneten Jugend bis zum Aufstieg zum bewunderten Feldherrn und als „Friedrich der Große” verehrten König.
Directed by Jan Peter, Friedrich - Ein deutscher König leans on a strong ensemble — Katharina Thalbach, Anna Thalbach, Oliver Nägele — 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 screen titles of 2012.
