About Anamnese
While working in an Algerian hospital on the edge of the Sahara, a young GDR doctor gains the trust of the locals in his fight against insidious diseases. His wife, however, does not share his sacrifice and professional ethos at this place of work.
Directed by Rainer Bär, Anamnese leans on a strong ensemble — Rein Breuer, Annekathrin Bürger, Horst Drinda — 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 1980.
