About this listen

Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts: Auf der Suche nach Arbeit verschlägt es den jungen Maschinisten Etienne Lantier in eine Bergarbeitersiedlung im Norden Frankreichs. Entsetzt über das dort herrschende Elend und die unmenschlichen Arbeitsbedingungen ruft der überzeugte Sozialist seine Leidensgenossen zum Aufstand auf. Zunächst scheint ihr Streik von Erfolg gekrönt, doch schon bald geraten die Bergarbeiter in eine verhängnisvolle Spirale aus Verzweiflung, Sabotage und Verrat.

In Hans-Helmut Dickows Interpretation von Zolas naturalistischem Meisterwerk bleibt dessen überwältigende Eindringlichkeit und vielgelobte Komplexität bis in die feinste Nuance bewahrt.©2016 rechtefrei (P)2016 DAV
