“From Hilde with Love”, interview with director Andreas Dresen

German Director Andreas Dresen brings in competition at the 74th Berlinale, the story of German Red Orchestra’s young activist Hilde Coppi in “From Hilde with love“.

As he didn’t know a lot of Hilde Coppi’s story, Dresen confesses that he was attracted by the film’s script as it could be the perfect occasion for him to narrate of a group of youths in a contemporary and poetic way.

Although set in 1942, in the most beautiful summer for Hilde, where being involved in the anti-Nazi resistance would also mean sharing the best moments of their group’s young life, Dresen creates a tale that could also be considered as an universal portray of youth.

Andreas Dresen also considers Hilde Coppi as a fundamentally decent person with her own set of values trying to leave put of the film the way she was described and considered in the past: a communist resistance fighter for some and a despicable traitor for others.

Playing Hilde is Liv Lisa Fries who delivers a truly remarkable performance after becoming internationally renowned thanks to “Babylon Berlin“.
