I Want It All

“…an excellent documentary.” (Jazz Podium)

“Don’t miss it! You don’t have to be a fan to enjoy Boettcher’s two-hour film. A dynamic trip through almost half a century of German pop culture history.” (taz)

“Worth seeing!” (Stern.de)

“…a dynamic and multifaceted picture of the singer (…) and overall this entertaining film—one that doesn’t just praise its protagonist uncritically, but shows both her strengths and her weaknesses—connects the private with the professional.” (Berlinske Tidende)

“Goosebumps! A touching film about the versatile artist’s more than 50-year career. In the end, Gitte had tears in her eyes: brilliantly done.” (Lübecker Nachrichten)

“…The strong-minded, beautiful, and extraordinarily talented woman from Aarhus allowed the sensitive director a look into the dangerous rollercoaster of a turbulent career and her dramatic life with all its highs and lows—and Marc Boettcher has drawn an honest, sympathetic portrait of Gitte Hænning.” (OMM – Online Musik Magazin)

“Marc Boettcher is a film producer with passion. On Monday, TV viewers can see that this man knows his craft.” (Hamburger Abendblatt)

“I was already very impressed by your film about Alexandra, but this documentary about Gitte is surely your masterpiece so far.” (Dr. Michael Kunze, musical author)

“…a fine psychological portrait of the singer; her difficulty in being authentic became clearly visible in the film.” (Richard David Precht, philosopher & Grimme Award juror) 

Gitte Haenning — first broadcast date: 18 December 2006 on NDR Television

• Nominated for the Adolf Grimme Award (2007)
• Nominated for the NRW Cultural Award (2007)
• Nominated for the Schleswig-Holstein Film Award (2006)

“Valuable” rating by the German Film Rating Board Wiesbaden (FBW)

“Of course there are contemporaries to whom Gitte has nothing to say. But anyone interested in the lively Danish multi-talent will find the ultimate biographical documentary here. The film also makes clear the pattern Gitte cannot break out of—both as an artist and privately—because the early conflict between her and her father repeats itself again and again in many different forms.

It also tells how brutally artists like her have been treated in the German entertainment industry. A journey through show history, music and time, television and fashion.”
