“A major film from Ken Loach. He has created an ambiguous yet penetrating work about two opposing cultures and the way they both manipulate and control artistic expression, and about the response of two generations to those cultures.” – Variety
“Demonstrates an invigorating, completely independent moral perspective…It’s also pretty funny. Chris Menges (The Killing Fields) is responsible for the fine camerawork.”
– Vincent Canby, The New York Times
Fatherland (aka Singing the Blues in Red, 1986) is singular director Ken Loach’s excursion into the world of European cinema, an ambitious film – written by Trevor Griffiths (Reds) – about an East German singer-songwriter (Gerulf Pannach) who exchanges the political repression of his home country for the new pressures of capitalism in the West. The search for his lost father and a skittish relationship with a journalist (Fabienne Baba) only add to the young artist’s turmoil, beautifully captured by the camera of the brilliant Chris Menges.
