Mona Mur in Conversation

The film follows the career of Hamburg-born Mona Mur, whose journey began in the underground post-punk scene of early ’80s West Germany and has since evolved across a wide range of musical and artistic styles.

There was Marlene Dietrich, Hildegard Knef, and Nico, the ice-cold sphinx. And there is Mona Mur, "Germany's Queen of Postpunk." Her dazzling career, which brought her together with the likes of En Esch (KMFDM), FM Einheit, Mark Chung and Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten), Nikko Weidemann ("Babylon Berlin"), Dieter Meier (Yello), and J.J. Burnel (The Stranglers), is now being captured in a documentary film — by Grimme Award winners Dietmar Post and Lucía Palacios, who were also behind the sensational film Monks: The Transatlantic Feedback about the proto-punk band The Monks.
