About
The film "Hälfte des Lebens – Hölderlin" is being shown, a biography covering ten years in the life of Friedrich Hölderlin. Hermann Zschoche's film tells of Hölderlin's time as a tutor to the banker Gontard up to his end in the Tübingen psychiatric clinic. In between is the love for Susette, Gontard's wife, and the separation that plunges the poet into deep depression. The cast includes Ulrich Mühe, Jenny Gröllmann and Michael Gwisdek.

Critics
The film is praised for its precise portrayal of the powerful and their arrogance toward art and new ideas. It is faulted for a staging that is sometimes pedestrian rather than poetic.
