Country: UK, Language: English, 85 mins

Original Title

Die Erika und Klaus Mann Story
  • Director: Wieland Speck; Andrea Weiss
  • Producer: Greta Schiller

CGiii Comment

The children of Thomas Mann...precocious brats of privilege - their story is jigsawed together with obvious missing pieces.

The dramatic interludes are worthless and unnecessary - a straightforward documentary would have sufficed.

And - their lives - really - are not that interesting.
