Deutsches Kino: Rock’n’Roll Ringo

Good-natured Ringo loses his job as a scaffolder and is forced to take work at the funfair, where the owner, Fränkie, encourages him to start a career as a boxer. The colourful fairground family he finds himself among changes his life, but Ringo’s greatest wish remains the same: to reconnect with his deaf 12-year-old daughter from a broken marriage. A fascinating “Ruhrgebiet Western” with an authentic 1980s feel.  

Rock’n’Roll Ringo is the new film by director Dominik Galizia, a filmmaker with a distinctive style and an unerring sense of raw emotion and musical energy. In this film, he brings an irresistible mix of rock ’n’ roll, humour and melancholy to the screen. Thanks to the stellar cast, he elevates the story to a higher level, making Rock’n’Roll Ringo a film that lingers in the mind.
