Out of Rosenheim: A Cult Film Between Desert, Friendship, and New Beginnings
The 58th FilmSaloN at werk3 / KlangWert invites you to a special cinema evening featuring Percy Adlon's cult film Out of Rosenheim. On November 17, 2026, the audience will experience a tragicomic story about alienation, self-assertion, and the surprising power of human encounters.
A Road Movie with a Distinctive Atmosphere
After a fateful argument with her husband, Jasmin Münchgstettner, a businesswoman from Rosenheim, ends up stranded in the middle of the California desert between Disneyland and Las Vegas. In her loden costume and her meticulous, almost unwavering manner, she initially appears to be a vision from another world in the dusty surroundings.
Her refuge is the rundown Bagdad Café, a motel run by the resolute Brenda. Amid shimmering desert light, sparse rooms, and a tension-filled exhibition atmosphere of the filmic space, an unusual relationship develops. Jasmin's perspective on order and design meets Brenda's defiant energy.
Film Analysis: Comedy as Social Observation
Percy Adlon's film combines tragicomedy, road movie, and social milieu observation. The direction employs precise timing, laconic humor, and a sensitive visual language. The desert appears not just as a geographical setting but as an aesthetic resonance space for uprooting, change, and new possibilities.
As Jasmin begins to restore the run-down establishment with German diligence, a process of mutual approach emerges from the initial confrontation. The filmic analysis opens up questions of cultural identity, female self-determination, and social belonging.
Marianne Sägebrecht as an International Discovery
Marianne Sägebrecht gained international attention with her portrayal of Jasmin Münchgstettner. Opposite her, CCH Pounder embodies the temperamental Brenda. Together, both actresses create an intense aesthetic experience where comedy and seriousness, alienation and familiarity intertwine closely.
Out of Rosenheim became a cult film in the 1980s. The production received the Ernst Lubitsch Award, the Bavarian Film Award, the Federal Film Award in gold and silver, as well as the César for Best Foreign Film.

The film evening at werk3 / KlangWert combines film art, cultural education, and a shared cinema experience. The compact running time of 109 minutes allows for a focused analysis of the work and an intense encounter with a film whose characters linger long after the credits roll.
The artistic experience awaits visitors in a cultural venue that brings together film, music, and performing arts. The intimate atmosphere of KlangWert provides the perfect setting for a classic that tells its story with warm-hearted comedy and keen observation of human relationships.
