Synopsis

"Detour", diversion, the title of one of his most important films, stands representing the path of one of Hollywood's most mysterious directors, one of the great unknowns of US cinema. Edgar Ulmer (1904-1972), born in Olomouc, raised in Vienna and Sweden, employees of Max Reinhardt and Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, has taken every conceivable detour that offered him. Until the sixties, Ulmer turned with Boris Karloff, Hedy Lamarr and Jean-Louis Trintignant to the fifty feature films (including "The Black Cat" and "Naked Dawn"), around which cinema myths are ranged - as well as the life of their creator. Stefan Grissemann's biography closes a blind spot in the film's history and tells a piece of Central European history, and it makes clear why Scorsese, Tavernier, Truffaut and others consider Edgar Ulmer as teachers.
