"Cinema News: Jella Haase speaks frankly about the authentic Berlin experience in '#BlackShoep'"
In the heart of Berlin, a vibrant and chaotic city undergoing significant changes, the film "#SchwarzeSchafe" is set to premiere nationwide on July 17. The remake, directed by Oliver Rihs, presents a humorous and colourful commentary on the city's evolving social and economic fabric, featuring stars Jella Haase and Milan Peschel.
Haase, who was recently interviewed in Berlin by Laura Voigt, plays Delphine, a gender puppet inventor, in the film. Struggling to find sales channels, she embarks on a rebellious journey armed with a toy gun, symbolizing a fight for new ways of living and economic standards in Berlin.
Peschel, on the other hand, portrays a fisherman seeking to create sustainable snacks from invasive swamp crabs, highlighting a turn to ecological awareness and alternative livelihoods amid urban shifts.
The film's narrative and characterisation reflect the city's transformation, with Berlin outsiders at its core. It delves into themes of love, sex, and money, while also addressing problems faced by people living in the city. The plot features Nazi hunters and East Germans being processed into sausage, adding a layer of satire to the story.
While specific quotes from Haase and Peschel about their views on Berlin's changes are not directly stated, their characters embody the spirit of resilience and adaptability in the face of social, environmental, and economic changes. The film mixes the city's "wilderness" of excitement, economic struggles, and attempts at ecological responsibility, all wrapped in a comedic, wild, and colourful style that mirrors real-life transformations in Berlin's urban culture.
Claudia Schiffer, the supermodel, has joined football club Eintracht in a block process, adding another layer of intrigue to Berlin's bustling cultural scene. However, the city's rents have increased significantly, according to Peschel, and he criticises the changes in relation to the film.
Despite these changes, Haase finds Berlin a place of longing for many people. In an interview, she revealed why she finds the city captivating, adding a personal touch to the film's portrayal of the city. The film "#SchwarzeSchafe" promises to be a compelling exploration of Berlin's dynamic and ever-changing landscape, offering a unique perspective on life in the city today.
