„Der Nußknacker“

Poem by: Till Lindemann

[oldshrewsburyian]

Hello! Have you read anything by E. T. A. Hoffmann? Have you read The Sandman, and The Nutcracker? If yes, do you like his work?

Hello! I bought myself a 3-volume set of Hoffmann’s works when I was 19, as it happens. I’ve read both of those, his most famous stories, and… um… I’m not sure that like is quite the word I’d use. There was a wooden figure of Der Sandmann on the wall of my childhood bedroom, along with gnomes, rabbits, figures bound on mysterious errands of their own. This may seem like a digression, but my response to Hoffmann is in no small part shaped by the fact that, as a very small child, I believed entirely in Der Sandmann’s magical and possibly-malevolent power. I was also more than a little frightened by Herr Drosselmeyer when I was seven.

So, in brief: I really like Hoffmann’s prose. It’s twisty, well-balanced, atmospheric, gripping. I’m fascinated by how his work uses historical settings to explore contemporary anxieties about social status and gender roles. But my reactions to his work – still! – are heavily colored by an early childhood in which I believed that the creatures of German folklore might be out to get me. Don’t ask about the Erlkönig.

Dank besonders beschaulicher Feiertagsplanung konnten wir sogar noch einen Nussknacker unterbringen.

Nr. 56 Der Nussknacker und die vier Reiche

Mit Motiven des Tschaikowski-Balletts und E.T.A. Hoffmans „Der Mäusekönig“ taucht die junge Clara (Mackenzie Foy) in eine Märchenwelt ein, die sie mit dem Nussknacker vor einer bösen Fee schützen muss.

Zuckersüßer hätte das Disney-Märchen wohl kaum sein können und der Weg zum Kitsch ist äußerst kurz. Die Story ist schnell durchblickt, doch nichts desto trotz überzeugt der Film mit Charme, tollen Schauspielern (u.a. Keira Knightley, Helen Mirren, und Morgan Freeman) und einem von Tschaikowski inspirierten Soundtrack, der wahrlich verzaubert. Das alte, verschneite London und die detailreiche Parallelwelt stimmt wunderbar auf Weihnachten ein. „Der Nussknacker und die vier Reiche“ bekommt daher:
