Great cinema from Bavaria with "Tempo, Tempo - Bavaria in the 1920s":

Surrounded by Bavarian cabaret celebrities and actors from the Munich Volkstheater, Christoph Süß questions the events of the 1920s. On unadorned benches or in an elegant salon, he meets a wide variety of characters from the era: Luise Kinseher as an opponent of Hitler, Helmut Schleich as a conservative civil servant, Max Uthoff as a representative of high society, Christian Springer as a friend and advocate of peace and order.

The signs of the times
After the end of the world war, the revolution and the assassination of Kurt Eisner, nobody in Munich really knows what to do next in 1919. Everyone is waiting. The times were about to change. Democracy is in its infancy, political radicalization on the left and right brings great uncertainty. Who is friend and who is foe? Inflation, poverty and disease fuel the tense atmosphere and the pace picks up. Technical innovations, records, discoveries, the lifestyle of the wild 1920s with new music and new fashions are everywhere. The celebrations are extravagant. But the economic crisis of 1929 brings a new slump - creating a breeding ground for the rise of the NSDAP.

A "virtual production"
The production company jangled nerves broke new ground for the film: for the first time, the actors acted in front of a large LED screen. Depending on the camera position, the changing background images of the LEDs adapt perfectly to the perspective of the respective scene. This means that the shots, including the special effects, are already completely in the can during filming - a virtual "showcase into the past" and a deliberate part of the production.
