About Tropiafric - Grüße aus der Wildnis
A humorous and ironic film that draws attention to the problems of long-distance tourism and European arrogance: A German travels through Africa (Hotel Diana Beach, Mombasa, Kenya); his superficial and clichéd commentary, dictated into a cassette recorder, contrasts with the beauty of the landscape and the fascination of the foreign continent, which cannot be captured by superficial brochure terms. A young tourist who throws herself wholeheartedly into the African adventure succeeds in developing a greater understanding.
Directed by Karol Schneeweis, Maria Fisahn, Tropiafric - Grüße aus der Wildnis leans on a strong ensemble — Catherine K. Nganga, Wilfried Helling, Rosemary Nabwire — 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 1983.
