“Kurz, the film” and “Project Ballhausplatz” about ex-chancellor Sebastian Kurz, who was accused after his resignation, will be released in September. It remains to be seen whether the two films will be box office hits. In any case, the political significance of the film adaptation of Kurz’s life is questionable.
1. Do moviegoers really learn new things? Hardly. Details may be unknown to mainstream political observers – a campaign advisor explains that the turquoise campaign for Sebastian Kurz also happened to become the ÖVP’s party color – but there is nothing major in the news. People who are far removed from politics get two very different insights into the world of Kurzen, but you cannot expect them to come to the cinemas for two documentaries as a leisure activity.
