About Marianne and Sophie
Marianne and Sophie have had enough. The two elderly ladies from Nuremberg do not feel like they are old, although both of their sons obviously want to make them old. Now the two old ladies have had enough. Fed up with their sons who bully them, Marianne and Sophie decide to go on a journey and leave everything behind. Sofie cancels her life insurance, buys a Mercedes-Benz with a caravan with her last belongings and sets off on a long journey with Marianne & her animals.
Directed by Rainer Söhnlein, Marianne and Sophie leans on a strong ensemble — Marianne Hoppe, Sofie Keeser, George Meyer-Goll — 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 comedy titles of 1983.
