Wrong Move

1975 · 105 min

A quiet, drifting journey through postwar Germany, all long takes and unspoken unease, leaving you thoughtful and slightly hollow.

Overview
Six days in the life of Wilhelm: a detached man without qualities. He wants to write, so his mother gives him a ticket to Bonn, telling him to live. On the train he meets an older man, an athlete in the 1936 Olympics, and his mute teen companion, Mignon. She's an acrobat in market squares for spare change.
