About Die Kirche bleibt im Dorf
Green meadows, blue sky in Swabia: Actually, the world of the two villages Oberrieslingen and Unterrieslingen should be in perfect order. But she is not. Why? Because the two hostile villages have had to share a church and a cemetery since the Middle Ages, which has caused squabbles and squalor to this day.
Directed by Ulrike Grote, Die Kirche bleibt im Dorf leans on a strong ensemble — Natalia Wörner, Karoline Eichhorn, Stephan Schad — 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 comedy titles of 2012.
