Fabian: Going to the Dogs
German Film Forum & 125 Years of Erich Kästner
Germany / 2021 / 186’
Director: Dominik Graf
In 1931 Berlin's decaying society, Jakob Fabian, a German studies doctor working in advertising, navigates the city's underworld with his friend Stephan Labude. While Labude pursues communism and sex, Fabian remains distant, hoping for a "victory of decency." His love for Cornelia offers a glimmer of hope. Dominik Graf brilliantly adapts Erich Kästner's autobiographical “Fabian,” capturing the era's moral decline with a pointed, melancholic style, portraying the disintegration of happiness amidst societal collapse.
