Tatjana Turanskyj
Eine flexible Frau
(The Drifter  )

  • Production Year 2010

It was supposed to be a trilogy about “women and work.” It began in 2010 with Eine flexible Frau (The Drifter), followed in 2014 by Top Girl oder La Déformation Professionnelle, but there was no third part. Director Tatjana Turanskyj passed away on September 18, 2021, and since then she has lived on in the minds, thoughts, projects and struggles of her allies. She was a filmmaker, author, feminist, activist and had a lot to say, like here, in her feature film debut. Greta M. (Mira Partecke) is 40, in Berlin, unemployed, an architect, mother and drinker. She drifts between job centers, gated communities, call centers and bars through a life that either doesn’t provide for women like her or wants to put them into an efficiency scheme that women like Greta don’t fit into. Instead of an earnest film about women’s issues, wage labor and gentrification, Turanskyj’s protagonist Greta dances, drinks and talks with a levity and subtle wit that is just as atypical of German cinema as Tatjana Turanskyj always was. She co-founded ProQuote Film (originally: ProQuote Regie), an association that has been promoting gender parity and diversity in film in Germany since 2014.
