Heimat and Die Zweite Heimat are my favourite films. You have perfectly captured why I love the film so much. The third film is like a warm hug. I see Maria, Hermann and Clarissa as real people and I feel such a huge connection to them. I met Edgar Reitz and the lead stars of Heimat 2 at its remastered premiere in Munich in September 2022. I travelled there alone from the UK. In this way I relate to Hermann as he travels away from home for a new life. I don’t speak German, but due to the times I’ve seen the films I didn’t need any subtitles to understand and feel a connection. It is so amazing to see this video and it means a huge lot to me that you’ve made this. I feel like my own Heimat fan club sometimes
Thanks for the great story! I really envy your experience, it must've been amazing to not only see it remastered in a theater (how many days did it take by the way?) but also to meet the people behind it! I've unfortunately yet to see Heimat 3 as of now, but like you, I feel so invested in the characters (especially Hermann 'cause I've moved to Tokyo from America) that I'm sure it was thrilling to meet the actors in person! I'm happy you like the films as much as I do! Especially with The Second Heimat in particular, I feel like if it was more widely seen it'd be considered one of the best movies ever made, but its length means that that probably won't happen. But that's okay, 'cause at least it can remain our fan club's little secret for now. May the club grow and grow!
