“I find myself rather isolated in the German film scene, particularly among my women colleagues, because my films come out of the tradition of fantasy and surrealist filmmaking.”

    Ticket of No Return

    TICKET OF NO RETURN

    ULRIKE OTTINGER West Germany, 1979

    It’s all eyes on the striking actor (and costume designer!) Tabea Blumenschein in this spectacular bar crawl. Dizzying with wit and style, she and director Ulrike Ottinger ignore those who might deem boozing unfeminine—for these two, catwalking through the streets while sozzled can be raucous fun.

    Freak Orlando

    FREAK ORLANDO

    ULRIKE OTTINGER West Germany, 1981

    Icons of cinema Delphine Seyrig and Magdalena Montezuma star in this wildly loose and freaky Virginia Woolf adaptation. Twirling visions of new, decadent glamor from worshipping rituals, sex, and commerce, director Ulrike Ottinger frolics in Orlando’s transhistorical sprawl with outrageous glee.

    Dorian Gray in the Mirror of the Yellow Press

    DORIAN GRAY IN THE MIRROR OF THE YELLOW PRESS

    ULRIKE OTTINGER West Germany, 1984

    Rejecting sanctimonious satire, Ulrike Ottinger’s bold critique of the tabloid press allows for the surface pleasures of notoriety and celebrity. Starring an immaculate, never-more-devious Delphine Seyrig, this prescient film is magnetized with push-pull fascination for sparkly yet throwaway fun.
