Our monthly film club afternoon is back. We are watching “Goethe!” by Philipp Stölzl. The film will be screened in German with English subtitles.
1772: The 23-year-old law student, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, flunks his oral exams. His angry father sends him to the Imperial High Court in Wetzlar. Goethe, who dreams of a career as a poet and has to digest the rejection of his play Götz von Berlichingen, falls in love with Charlotte Buff. But her father has betrothed promised her to another man. Goethe reacts to his misfortune by writing The Sorrows of Young Werther — and overnight, the novel makes him the new star of German literature.
The film is screened as part of our monthly film club which is open to everyone interested in German cinema. The films screened in German with English subtitles, which makes them suitable for all language levels.
