About I Want to Live
An 11-year-old boy survives a serious car accident but remains mentally and physically disabled for the rest of his life. The film depicts the situation of those affected and the reaction of those around them. It is a call for more humane treatment of people with disabilities.
Directed by Jörg A. Eggers, I Want to Live leans on a strong ensemble — Kathina Kaiser, Heinz Bennent, Sonja Sutter — 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 1977.
