About Die Affäre Borgward
The name of car manufacturer Carl F. W. Borgward is still synonymous with the West German Wirtschaftswunder. For hundreds of thousands the "Isabella" from Borgward is the first car after the war while Borgward secures thousands of jobs in Bremen. But in 1961, the company of the passionate constructor goes surprisingly broke.
Directed by Marcus O. Rosenmüller, Die Affäre Borgward leans on a strong ensemble — Thomas Thieme, Barbara Philipp, Jürgen Heinrich — 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 history titles of 2018.
