Pure Air of the Mountain: For All and None Die Höhenluft - für Alle und Keinen [de] (Original title: German: Die Höhenluft - für Alle und Keinen), (French: L'air de la montagne - pour tous et pour personne) is a German-French-Austrian avant-garde satire written and directed by Mika'ela Fisher. [1] [2]

Cast[edit]

Plot[edit]

Allegory: Angra, the woman, and Spenta, the man, (Angra and Spenta Mainyu come from Zoroastrian theology and characterize dualistic cosmology); the two have opposite characters, they give themselves to a betting game in which they choose from among the crowd a person, without identity, the nameless X. This unnamed lady will be the toy of both; and finally the three become one (Trinity), which is visualized by their similar clothes. Text from Friedrich Nietzsche's impressive work Thus Spoke Zarathustra accompany the acts of the film, narrated by an observer, whom you never can see.

About the film[edit]

Like two sides of the same coin, Angra and Spenta observe how the people below them move. The inseparable twins pull the strings of these poor puppets, who are torn between good and evil. Pure Air of the Mountain: For All and None (Die Höhenluft - für Alle und Keinen) is a curious film that questions our free will. With cynical humour, the film takes an uncompromising look at the women and men who are the playthings of the gods. Up there on the mountain. The gods are bored, the gods are amused. But who are our gods?

Reception[edit]

Fishers debut feature film premiered at the 55th Hof International Film Festival [3] and was released in German cinemas on 16 November 2023. Die Höhenluft - für Alle und Keinen (Pure Air of the Mountain:For All and None) captivated the audience with its inventive originality and caused astonishment and thoughtfulness.[4] [5] [6]

On BGLand.de the reviewer writes (translated from German): Sophisticated art instead of popcorn cinema, Nietzsche prose instead of dull dialogue, thinking instead of being sprinkled: The film premiere of Die Höhenluft - für Alle und Keinen on Tuesday evening at the Berchtesgaden cinema left the audience's heads spinning. - Marcel Sowa: BGLand24.de [7]

On Berchtesgadener Anzeiger the reviewer writes: Disturbing, but with beautiful images. - Kilian Pfeiffer: Berchtesgadener Anzeiger [8] [9]

The film is scheduled for release in French theatres on October 9, 2024.[10][11]
