"Deliriously sumptuous and transgressive, Ulrike Ottinger 's world can hardly be confused with humdrum reality... like traveling through an undiscovered country of marvels, a journey alternately dazzling, infuriating, hilarious, and rewarding."
-Village Voice
More than any other female artist, Ulrike Ottinger enriched the modern cinematic landscape with her surreal, original and extreme films. In ULRIKE OTTINGER - NOMAD FROM THE LAKE, filmmaker Brigitte Kramer provides a keen insight into Ottinger's substantial oeuvre, beginning with their shared beloved Lake Constance hometown and weaving in a rotating cast of influential characters including art historian Katharina Sykora, film historian Ulrich Gregor, philosopher Bernd Scherer and actor Irm Hermann. A richly rewarding close-up of the filmmaking pioneer who, along with Margarethe von Trotta and Helke Sander, helped launch New German Cinema on world screens, this intimate documentary is an indispensable companion for any Ottinger film.
