In the Mirror of My Mother at filmforum Duisburg: Dark Drama with Pulling Effect

A Dark Mother-Daughter Drama at filmforum Duisburg

In the Mirror of My Mother takes the audience into a world where memory, guilt, and desire collide. The film by Jutta Brückner unfolds an intense stage experience of the screen at filmforum Duisburg: concentrated, hovering, carried by quiet disturbance.

Between Family Secret and Psychological Chamber Play

At the center is Ursula Scheuner, played by Corinna Harfouch, who, after the death of her demented mother, confronts repressed memories, a mysterious melody, and a bog body. From this constellation arises a dramaturgy that charges itself not through tempo but through inner tension. The material feels like a chamber play in the cinema space: close, precise, eerie.

Visually Striking, Touching the Soul

The production relies on strong images and an atmosphere between psychodrama and mystery. Dark water surfaces, ghostly landscapes, and the play with mirrors condense the events into a unique theatrical atmosphere. The camera work and restrained acting create spaces for audience reactions, echoes, and interpretations.

Jutta Brückner's Late Trilogy with a Clear Authoritative Perspective

With this film, Brückner concludes her Ursula Scheuner trilogy, which began with Years of Hunger and continued with Hitler Cantata. Professional reviews highlight the dense narrative style, the symbolically charged images, and the excellent actresses. It is precisely this connection of personal history and societal reflection that gives the work cultural authority and artistic depth.
