Das Leben des Jürgen von Golzow

The first life story of one of the "children of Golzow", continued beyond the "Wende" as an independent feature-length film, which tells of the career of the first hero of our first film, using the rich material available from Jürgen, who became a painter and upholsterer, and "his" Golzow, where he still lived at the time.

Directed by Winfried Junge, Barbara Junge, Das Leben des Jürgen von Golzow leans on a strong ensemble — Winfried Junge — 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 documentary titles of 1994.
