About Es liegt mir auf der Zunge
On February 20, 1953, the Nordwestdeutsche Rundfunk broadcast the first cooking show of German post-war television. Clemens Carl Hahn became the TV chef Clemens Wilmenrod. When the "request in ten minutes to table" on the screens flickered, went for the presenter of the show a dream come true: He had designed the cooking show not only the first TV format that was aimed at women, but also a new self invented.
Directed by Kaspar Heidelbach, Es liegt mir auf der Zunge leans on a strong ensemble — Jan Josef Liefers, Anna Loos, Justus von Dohnányi — 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 2009.
