MARIKA
Marika is a cheerful, lively and – also in a metaphorical sense – wonderfully colourful feature film. The first colour film in Austrian film history.

In Reichtum der Wälder Albert Quendler shows us every single process from the felling of the trees to the transport of the wood on board a locomotive. His camera focuses on every detail, while emphasising the value of the materials handled and making the documentary stand out first and foremost for its welcome lyricism and its own, marked personality.
Spring on Ice, alongside a rather simple and linear screenplay, sees a mise-en-scène that is predominantly theatrical, but also extremely spectacular, colourful and lively, within which elegant figures move in front of the camera, in a series of carefully choreographed performances that successfully create a balanced mixture of modern dance and Viennese waltz.
