About Anders als die Andern
Anders als die Andern, translated as "Different from the Others," is a groundbreaking silent film directed by Richard Oswald. Released in 1919, it boldly addressed the sensitive subject of homosexuality – a topic rarely explored in cinema at that time. The movie is considered one of the first to depict same-sex relationships on screen and stood as a courageous statement against societal prejudice.
The film tells the story of Paul Körner, a successful violinist, who falls in love with one of his male students. Their relationship becomes threatened by blackmail, leading to a dramatic and thought-provoking series of events. Anders als die Andern sheds light on the struggle faced by marginalized communities, calling for understanding, acceptance, and change.
