About Der Streit um den Sergeanten Grischa
Russian soldier Grisha escapes from a German prisoner-of-war camp in the spring of 1917. He is caught and is to be shot as a spy. This decision is controversial. The dispute continues. Grisha is executed on the orders of the army high command.
Directed by Helmut Schiemann, Der Streit um den Sergeanten Grischa leans on a strong ensemble — Josef Karlík, Jutta Wachowiak, Günter Naumann — 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 1968.
