FREE ON CINEGEEK.DE Klaus Lemke - Sylvie 

To the 80s. Birthday of Klaus Lemke! My former colleague Thomas Groh has raved! When Urgestein Klaus Lemke brought a burned (golden) DVD with self-made covers (paper scissors and glue stick artwork). Lemke came by to give us his most beautiful movie Sylvie from 1973 as a present. Sylvie is not only Klaus Lemke's most beautiful film; it is also one of the most beautiful love films from a country where normally only comedies are shot! Sylvie Winter is as beautiful as a fairy - but I would say she is also greedy and disturbed. A suburban beauty, as they appear not only in Munich, but also here. These are beauties that attract the attention of filmmakers like Lemke! Sylvie meets the cab driver Paul (Paul Lyss), to whom Lemke already dedicated his own film (Paul from 1974, DVD6251 with Lemke cover self-made, only here). Paul explains to Sylvie that he is actually a sailor and not a cab driver. Lemke heroes are great romantics! Sylvie falls asleep drunk in Paul cabs on her way to a rich guy she wants to marry (Sylvie is not as romantic as Paul). This is performed full of love and melancholy. You will never forget some moments in this film! For sure these are the moments that can even change your own life a little bit! Because isn't there such a romantic in all of us? I think the most difficult job in this world is to edit a Lemke film. Once Lemke shot in our bar and outside in the neighborhood. The "actors" only find out shortly before shooting that they are in the film. Otherwise they would mutate into "movie stars" overnight and Lemke doesn't need them! Also, nothing may be changed on the set, no ashtray may be moved. Lemke reacts to everything and everyone. If he meets an interesting girl, he follows her into the apartment with his camera and she is already part of his film. As a result, Lemke films are constantly threatened to get out of hand. This is exactly what the editor has to force into a rhythm. If the tightrope act succeeds, we can enjoy a little Lemke masterpiece. If it fails, we may wonder what is happening. Sylvie is a little masterpiece! Much softer than the other Lemke films. He loves Sylvie, that's for sure! When she devours hamburgers and drives into the countryside. Until Sylvie and Paul look each other in the eyes. We know that's the moment when love shows itself... P.S. If you are looking for a great New York movie, this is it! Because Sylvie is supposed to land in New York and Lemke is going to freak out there, with all the enthusiasm. And nobody can stop him!
