Synopsis
Australian premiere
Münter & Kandinsky
Directed by Marcus O. Rosenmüller (Wunderkinder), Münter & Kandinsky - The Blue Rider is a sumptuous historical drama and rich portrait of the complex relationship between Expressionist painters Gabriele Münter and Wassily Kandinsky.
Extraordinary artists and passionate lovers, Gabriele Münter (1877-1962) and Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) were integral to Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), one of the most famous artist groups of Classical Modernism at the beginning of the 20th Century. Together they lived and painted in the Bavarian town of Murnau am Staffelsee. But while Kandinsky enjoys fame, admiration, artistic and financial recognition, Münter remained in his shadow. As she struggled with her own life and lack of success, their relationship became increasingly complicated and toxic.
Starring Vladimir Burlakov (Deutschland 83) as Kandinsky and Vanessa Loibl as Münter, this gorgeous story of love and art based on true events centralises Gabriele Münter, exploring the untold chapters of her life, her love affair with Kandinsky, and her crucial role in the avant-garde movement that revolutionised the art world.
