Wolz – Life and Transfiguration of a German Anarchist

This film follows the journey of Ignaz Wolz, who returns from World War I fueled by hatred for capitalist war profiteers. Rejecting organized class struggles, he takes matters into his own hands by redistributing wealth from the rich to the poor. His actions lead to his arrest and a life sentence, but he is released after seven years due to mass protests.

Post-release, Wolz struggles to reintegrate into society, finding himself alienated from former allies who no longer share his revolutionary ideals. The film presents a biographical account of an anarchist's life and the challenges faced in a changing political landscape, making it a rich study in character and ideology. With a runtime of 110 minutes, it offers an insightful look into the complexities of resistance against oppression.
