About Wolz – Life and Transfiguration of a German Anarchist
Soldier Ignaz Wolz returns from WWI with an immeasurable hatred of capitalist war profiteers. He decides to start his own revolution, but tries to stay away from the organized class struggle. He steals from the rich men and divides the wealth among the poor. One day, Wolz is arrested and sentenced to life in prison; seven years later he is released due to mass protests. More than ever, it is hard for him to fit in. He severs ties with his former companions, who reject his ideas, and leaves Germany.
Directed by Günter Reisch, Wolz – Life and Transfiguration of a German Anarchist leans on a strong ensemble — Regimantas Adomaitis, Carin Abicht, Heidemarie Wenzel — 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 1973.
