Storyline

In post-war Germany, liberation by the Allies does not mean freedom for everyone. Hans Hoffmann is repeatedly imprisoned under Paragraph 175, which criminalizes homosexuality. Nevertheless, over the decades, he continues his quest for freedom and love, even if he finds it in the most unusual places.

Gradually, a story of bittersweet beauty and unexpected tenderness emerges.

Sometimes a modicum of dialogue works best. That’s seems to be a basic strategy for Austrian writer/director Sebastian Meise and co-writer Thomas Reider. Show first. Tell second.

Kevin Maher

RTThe Times (UK)Mar 15, 2022

A quiet and carefully constructed story about the sheer absurdity of the criminalisation of homosexuality, and about the denial of humanity that criminalisation required.

A beautiful ode to the struggles of the men Hans represents, Great Freedom is possibly one of the best films to be made in 2021.
