A family secret that unfolds on the screen

In the Mirror of My Mother presents a psychologically dense theatrical experience of a different kind as part of the Filmfest Munich: an intense drama about memory, loss, and female self-assertion. Jutta Brückner tells the story of three generations of women whose life paths intersect in a labyrinth of past and present.

Between moor, parental home, and inner tremors

At the center is archaeologist Ursula Scheuner, played by Corinna Harfouch with that quiet force that instantly transforms a space. A sensational discovery in the moor, the death of the mother, and the cleaning of the family home condense into a staging of emotional excavation. What begins externally as a criminal case evolves dramatically into a multifaceted study of origin, guilt, and identity.

Jutta Brückner's perspective: precise, subjective, uncompromising

Jutta Brückner returns after nearly two decades with a new feature film. Her signature remains recognizable: subjective, feminist, precise in observation, open to breaks. The Filmfest Munich places the director in a line that honors her works as radical reflections on female perspectives. This artistic authority is also palpable here: every scene seems to aim at the invisible, at what families rarely speak of and yet continue to inherit.

Acting that makes memories audible

Corinna Harfouch carries the film with a performance that unites fragility and willpower in a single gesture. Carla Juri sets the counterpoint as the enigmatic assistant Mel: cool, unsettling, knowing. Hildegard Schmahl lends the mother figure presence beyond death. It is precisely this triangular structure that creates a compelling theater atmosphere in cinema format, where every pause and every glance counts.

Theatiner Filmkunst as a fitting resonance space

The Theatiner Filmkunst has been considered Munich's home for demanding arthouse cinema since 1957, showing the film in a space that favors tradition and concentrated audience reaction. The original house is preserved, specializing in films in the original language with subtitles and thus ideal for a work that operates with nuances, speech rhythm, and psychological tension. The theatrical experience arises not from the set but from attention.

Conclusion: An evening for viewers with a sense of depth

In the Mirror of My Mother promises an intense film experience between family history, archaeology of emotions, and fine acting. Those who appreciate narrative precision, strong female characters, and culturally demanding cinema should experience this performance live.
