A Whispering in the Mountain of Things (1997)
Dominik Graf, now a leading filmmaker, revisits his late father Robert Graf’s acting career (1956–1966), during which Robert appeared in 20 features and 25 TV dramas by directors like Hoffmann, Staudte, Siodmak, Sturges, and Comencini. Through archival clips and personal reflections, Dominik “meets” his father and confronts the West German society and film industry of that era, where scripted narratives often outweighed real life.
