Marc Schölermann

Marc Schölermann, born in Hannover back in ‘71, has this weird knack for diving straight into stories that make you squirm and grin, sometimes at the same time. The guy’s basically spent his life bouncing around film sets, juggling between directing and production managing—he’s got his fingerprints all over some seriously wild stuff. His 2008 flick “Pathology” is a prime example. Imagine med students turning autopsies into a twisted, high-stakes game—yeah, it’s as dark and gnarly as it sounds. It’s not your run-of-the-mill thriller; it’s more like a fever dream with a scalpel. Then there’s “Inner City Blues” from way back in ‘98. That one’s a gritty, street-level drama with a pulse. Not exactly popcorn fare, but it sticks with you—probably because Schölermann doesn’t shy away from the rough edges of urban life. He’s into stories about people on the fringe, scraping by, making impossible choices. The characters aren’t squeaky clean, and that’s kind of the point. Fast-forward to 2023, and he’s still at it with “It Hasn’t Yet Been Released in India.” The title alone is cheeky, right? Nobody’s saying too much about the plot yet, but knowing Schölermann’s style, you can bet it’s not going to follow any boring template. He’s one of those directors who actually gives a damn about mood and pacing—nothing cookie-cutter or too glossy. If you’re into movies that rattle you a bit and don’t let go, his work’s totally worth a look.
