Fatih Akin's 'Amrum' Hits Screens Oct 9, 2025: A Unique Collaboration with Hark Bohm
Fatih Akin's latest film, 'Amrum', is set to hit screens on October 9, 2025. This 93-minute feature is a unique collaboration between Akin and the late Hark Bohm, with Akin adapting Bohm's work and the film being credited as 'A Hark Bohm Film by Fatih Akin'.
The story of 'Amrum' is a coming-of-age tale set during the final days of World War II. It follows the young Nanning, who is evacuated from Hamburg to the island of Amrum with his family. His father, a high-ranking Nazi, is not explicitly named but is known to have ended up in prisoner of war captivity. Nanning finds himself torn between his love for his mother, who still believes in the final victory, and the harsh realities of the war.
Akin has infused the film with contemporary references, including the appearance of refugee children from East Prussia. His storytelling in 'Amrum' is loose and impressionistic, more reminiscent of Bohm's style than his usual direct approach. This hybrid of two voices brings together the influences of both filmmakers, creating a unique cinematic experience.
With a runtime of 93 minutes, 'Amrum' promises to be a compelling exploration of a young boy's journey during a tumultuous time. The film's unique genesis and collaboration between Akin and Bohm make it a must-watch for cinephiles. Mark your calendars for October 9, 2025, to experience 'Amrum' on the big screen.
