Feature film
De falschen Hond
Synopsis
In October 1830, the Belgian revolution reaches Luxembourg, and most of the inhabitants want to become Belgian; only a few call for an independent Luxembourg. A municipal secretary stubbornly refuses Belgian nationality and is regarded as a traitor. The film transposes Nikolaus Hein's narrative, the story of a villager caught in the turmoil that saw the country born.
Context
Intended for the celebrations of the 150 years of the country's independence, the film brings to the screen, in a screenplay by Henri Losch, the text that Nikolaus Hein published in 1948. The Luxembourg government portal includes it among the country's films to see, and recalls that 1989 was a pivotal year for Luxembourg cinema, when producers and public authorities professionalised the production structures.
Who it is for
For seeing, in Luxembourgish, the founding episode of independence told at village level.
Prizes and reception
No known review of the film, in Luxembourgish, German or French.
