De grotzepuur

Directed by Mark M. Rissi, De grotzepuur leans on a strong ensemble — Walo Lüönd, Walter Morath, Schaggi Streuli — 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 1975.
