In an interview with “Die Zeit” magazine, film director and author Doris Dörrie reflects on the current state of men’s generation, 40 years after her successful film “Männer”. Dörrie criticizes the feeling of weakness that many men have experienced over the years due to the lack of a new role model. She believes that this has led to a surge in aggressive behavior, exemplified by the recent political situation in the United States. Dörrie, who turns 70 on May 26th, argues that the hidden storyline is the feeling of weakness leading some men to take extreme actions like wielding a chainsaw, while the visible one is the display of strength to dominate others. She urges society to address this issue and find a new way forward for men.
