Portrait of my Mother
Nicolas Humbert
1986 - 70 min - 16 mm - Couleur et Noir & Blanc - Allemagne
In the film "Wolfsgrub" Nicolas Humbert is on the trail of his own history.
Wolfsgrub is the name of the house, or rather the hamlet, where his mother lives. A woman getting on in years, she becomes as young as her son asking the questions when she speaks. She tells about her childhood and youth in a Germany filled with spreading Nazism, and about her father, the Jewish writer Max Mohr, who left his family and exiled to Shanghai, where he died in 1937.
Nicolas Humbert allows his mother the space and time to tell her story, portraying her everyday life with the use of concentrated images. From the bits and peaces and narrative fragments emerges the portrait of a free-thinking woman.
