PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON MEDIAEVAL EPIC ADVENTURE NARCISSUS AND GOLDMUND BASED ON HERMAN HESSE'S LEGENDARY HISTORICAL NOVEL

   'NARCISSUS AND GOLDMUND'
LAVISH HISTORICAL ADVENTURE
I promised you at the very beginning of the year that this month will be filled with reports on international period set projects and I'm keeping to
The movie hits cinemas this March
that promise today as well by taking you over to Germany where a new historical adventure is ready to hit the big screens March 12th! NARCISSUS AND GOLDMUND is the movie adaptation of Narziss und Goldmund a famous novel by Nobel Prize winner Herman Hesse! Magnetic German superstar Jannis Niewohner, whom we fell deeply in love with a few years ago in their stunning historical mini series Maximilian, takes the lead role of a young man  Goldmund who wanders aimlessly throughout Medieval Germany after leaving a Catholic monastery school in search of what could be described as
Jannis Niewohner takes the lead role
"the meaning of life". Oscar winning Austrian director Stefan Ruzowitzky is helming the expensive production. The novel itself was first published back in 1930 and was translated into more than 40 languages!

  What Is The Story About?
The young Goldmund (Jannis Niewohner) is sent by his father to study in the monastery Mariabronn and meets there the religious monastic student Narcissus (Sabin Tambrea, whom you might remember from their historical series on their crazy emperor Ludwig II).

on a journey full of adventure in which he finally meets his great love Lene (Henriette Confurius). But years later, Narcissus and Goldmund meet again under dramatic circumstances.
