Original Title

Die Verwundbaren

Director

Leo Tichat

Description

Die Verwundbaren takes the behaviour patterns in a crowd of 20 to 35-year-olds in Vienna as its theme, broaching the issue of love between men at a time when homosexual acts where a punishable offence (until 1971) in Austria. Tichat can be described as one of the few Austrian directors whose work carries distinctive features of dealing with cinematic modernity, in particular with the nouvelle vague. Die Verwundbaren was to remain Tichat's only feature film.
