Hans-Christian Schmid's latest film 'Requiem' is out now on DVD and can be borrowed at the church and state media offices.
'Requiem' refers to an authentic exorcism case in the seventies denied, but hasty and clear explanations. In contrast to spectacular horror films such as 'The Exorcist' or reared as a courtroom drama film 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' He is not about any demonic influence or interference by an external force in human life, but the construction of reality. As interpreted environment, friends, university, home, what happens to Michaela Klingler? How do they understand themselves? Why do you appear at the end of the interpretation of their illness as 'demonic possession' itself as a plausible explanation of their experiences? As in 'heaven and hell' or '23 ' succeed Hans-Christian Schmid visualization of subjective perceptions, internalized action and interpretation concepts and related emotions in a way that neither the 'victim' exposes, buy some speculation or allegations. In the center of his cinematic reflections is always the question of what impact assumptions about reality ('Beliefs') in real life stories have, whether it be the angel of faith in' heaven and hell ', the conspiracy delusions of Karl Koch in '23' or just to 'obsession' in 'Requiem' is.
is what makes his films, but especially 'Requiem' to very interesting points of reference, if you want to discuss the function of religious beliefs: They are trying to determine the point at which 'theories' about the life and reality lead to delusional perceptions and behaviors. In other words, they ask, when turn (at least nominally) life-friendly explanations of the world in hostile ideologies.
