About Mack the Knife - Brecht's Threepenny Film
Following the phenomenal success of “The Threepenny Opera”, the film industry wants to win over the celebrated author. But Bertolt Brecht is not prepared to play by their rules. His concept of the “Threepenny Film” is radical, uncompromising, political, and incisive.
Directed by Joachim Lang, Mack the Knife - Brecht's Threepenny Film leans on a strong ensemble — Lars Eidinger, Tobias Moretti, Hannah Herzsprung — 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 2018.
