Talentprobe

Shot in the summer of 1979 at a public event in Cologne’s Rheinpark, this documentary shows Udo Werner’s ‘talent contest for everyone’, as well as concerts by Udo Jürgens and a Beatles revival band, among others. The talents face a crowd of 5,000 people armed with whistles, hooters, and other equipment, who demonstrate their displeasure loudly and mercilessly. The performers are expected to finish their acts even in the face of this noise.
