Fatherland (released as Singing the Blues in Red in the US) is a 1986 film about a German singer-songwriter, directed by Ken Loach and starring Gerulf Pannach [de], Fabienne Babe [fr], Cristine Rose and Sigfrit Steiner.
The film was partly financed by the German television broadcaster ZDF.
Releaseedit
The film is one of Loach's least-popular films, being referred to as "a heavy-handed and absurd political drama" in MIT's newspaper The Tech[1] and Loach said in a 2016 Guardian interview that he "made a mess" of the film.[2] As the film was partly in German, its audience was limited in English-speaking countries. Between its cinematic release and the 2013 DVD release, the film was rare.
When the film was broadcast, they cut the scene in which Gerulf Pannach attacks a Christian Democrat politician for his fascist past. Loach said in an interview, "It was ironic that they should cut the only decent scene in the film."[3]
