Following the international box office success of her 1985 breakthrough comedy MÄNNER (MEN), writer, director and producer Doris Dörrie has become one of Germany's best-known filmmakers. This series of six films provides a sampling of Dörrie's extensive filmography, with a special focus on films she made in Japan.  

As unconventional and determined as many of the characters in her films, Dörrie, a collector of stories, is often described as a "Chonicler of the present," who is unafraid of placing her characters in sometimes bewildering situations in which they have no choice but to reinvent themselves.
