About Jesus of Ottakring
In the year 1970 several Austrian newspapers reported of Viennese people beating a homeless person to death because they thought he had stolen 50 Schilling. This story was the foundation for the play JESUS VON OTTAKRING which Pellert brought to the big screen in his directorial debut. A parable about intolerance in society.
Directed by Wilhelm Pellert, Jesus of Ottakring leans on a strong ensemble — Rudolf Prack, Hilde Sochor, Stephan Paryla-Raky — 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 1976.
