NDR Reschedules Nov. 20 Lineup to Air Hark Bohm’s 'Nordsee ist Mordsee'

The broadcaster’s late-night tribute reflects Bohm’s enduring influence on German cinema.

Overview

  • NDR will broadcast the 1976 youth drama at 23:35 on Nov. 20 in a short-notice change confirmed by multiple German outlets.
  • The programming shift follows Bohm’s death on Nov. 14 in Hamburg at age 86.
  • The film replaces the previously planned 'Großstadtrevier' in the late-night slot, according to Focus Online.
  • Regarded as one of Bohm’s key works, the film addresses youth violence, friendship and social realities, with the lead played by his adoptive son.
  • Bohm began his career acting with Rainer Werner Fassbinder and later helped found film studies at the University of Hamburg, with renewed attention to his work this year through Fatih Akin’s adaptation of 'Amrum'.
