About this movie
"Set in post-reunification Berlin, Jockel and Stefan attempt love but find that drugs and jealousy stand in the way. The film’s rough and tumble world contains the vanishing elements of a once strong counterculture; the brutality of junkie street life, S sex in abandoned cellars, heroin addictions, excessive partying, fist fights in drag queen bars and the ever present threat of Neo-Nazi street thugs.
The film is rhythmically guided by a hand puppet play summarizing and commenting on the state affairs between Jockel and Stefan and their lives at the trailer camp they inhabit.
Michael Stock’s “Prince in Hell” is a film about junkie life that reflects the troubles of a reunified Germany and how youths, either gay or straight, have trouble adapting to a new way of surviving.
“Michael Stock’s debut pic shows enough know-how and bold invention to put him on the map.”"
