Fabian: Going to the Dogs (DVD)

Berlin, 1931. Jakob Fabian (Tom Schilling) works in the advertising department of a cigarette factory by
day and drifts through bars, brothels and artist studios with his wealthy and debauched friend Labude
(Albrecht Schuch) by night. When Fabian meets the beautiful and confident Cornelia (Saskia Rosendahl),
he manages to shed his pessimistic attitude for a brief moment and falls in love. Not long after, he falls victim
to the great wave of layoffs sweeping the city, plunging him back into a depression, while Cornelia’s career
as an actress is taking off thanks to her wealthy boss and admirer – an arrangement that Fabian finds difficult
to accept. But it’s not just his world that is falling apart… Veteran German director Dominik Graf (Beloved
Sisters) wowed audiences at the Berlin Film Festival with this dazzling adaptation of Erich Kästner’s classic
of Weimar literature, set amid the twilight hedonism of pre-Nazi Germany.
