      Wolfgang G Krabat ist ein Fantasy-Drama des Regisseurs Marco Kreuzpaintner nach dem gleichnamigen Roman von Otfried Preußler… Weiter basiert Zauberlehrling Krabat auf einer sorbischen Volkssage… Die Geschichte erzählt von einem Jungen namens Krabat, der von einem bösen Zauberer die schwarzen Künste erlernt… Die düstere sorbische Volkssage wird hier in dunklen und schönen Bildern erzählt. Die Hauptthemen sind Verführung zur Macht, die in Gefangenschaft, Sklavenarbeit und Tod münden, dieser aussichtslose Weg kann nur die wahre Liebe retten… Marco Kreuzpaintner und Michael Gutmann haben den Roman gut in ihrem Drehbuch umgesetzt, Marco Kreuzpaintner inszenierte den Film anspruchsvoll und märchenhaft… Die Schauspielerische Leistung der Darsteller ist professionell und brillant. Die Ausstattung, Bekleidung und Masken sind einfach erste Sahne, und alles wird mit der Musik von Annette Focks mystisch untermalt… Krabat ist überhaupt nicht kitschig, sondern ein sehenswerter Film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/04/23 Full Review Audience Member had it somehow in mind from back in the day. but this pure unwatchable garbage Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Betther than exspected. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantasy movie with an historical background, it tells us the story of Krabat an orphaned teen in the XVII century Germany that is drawn to get shelter in a mysterious mill only to realize that the miller is a magician practicing the dark arts together with another 11 young apprentices. At the beginning he doesn't mind as he finds shelter and company comforting but he soon notices that something very sinister is going on. When he finds the girl of his dreams he is forced to make a choice. A curious and unusual story of wizardry that for once has men as main characters and a believable story line. It is is entertaining and fun but unfortunately doesn't leave a very strong impression. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Alrightee, but a bit long. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Effective fantasy film from Germany, based on Otfried Preußler's excellent novel.
