StudioCanal is preparing a Blu-ray release of Reinhard Hauff's Linie 1 (1988), starring Thomas Ahrens, Hark Bohm, and Claus-Peter Damitz. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year.
Official description: In this brand new restoration of the German hit musical Linie 1 a young woman runs away from her provincial hometown and ends up at Berlin's notorious Zoo station, searching for a rock musician who got her pregnant on a one-night stand. She gets stuck in underground line 1 and encounters a kaleidoscope of urban characters and their fates.
Linie 1 includes socio-critical elements, but it also serves as an amusing portrait of Berlin's society before the fall of the Berlin Wall.
