Peter Schamonis Schonzeit für Füchse
By Dorothea Holloway | April 1, 2014
Das Kino Arsenal zeigte Schonzeit für Füchse. Peter Schamoni wäre im März 80 Jahre geworden. Sehr zahlreich waren die Zuschauer zu diesem Filmklassiker gekommen, den Schamoni nach dem Roman Das Gatter von Gunter Seuren schuf. Es war ein Erlebnis.
In KINO – German Film No: 12, Autumn 1983, Ron Holloway wrote:
Peter Schamoni, Schonzeit für Füchse / Closed Season for Foxes (1966)
The “foxes” are bachelors nearing the marrying age of 30, the time when reckless young men are expected to conform to the standards of society. Schamoni, however, presents his protagonists as reluctant new members of the Lower-Rhine-Bourgeoisie, as cynical and frustrated youngsters in open conflict with the older postwar generation who have profited unscrupulously in part during the Economic Miracle years of the 1950s. In this classic father-son encounter, the resolution is bitterly pessimistic for these “angry young men” are going to conform to the status quo in the end with scarcely a whimper. All the same, Schamoni took the pulse of the times between the Adenauer Years and the forthcoming Student Rebellion of 1968.
