Movies - Heimatfilm


Heimatfilm is a film genre which was popular in Germany in the 1950s. Heimatfilms were noted for their rural settings, sentimental tone and simplistic morality. Heimat is a German word meaning homeland.

English-language features that could qualify as Heimatfilme include Lassie Come Home
, Spencer's Mountain
, and Where the Red Fern Grows
.


The trilogy of films called "Heimat
"
by the German director Edgar Reitz (1984, 1992 & 2004) are partly an ironic reference to this type of sentimental film.
