From today, 30 May 2025, the feature film ‘Rock “n” Roll Ringo’ by Dominik Galizia is officially available in home entertainment. The film will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on the film label Artkeim² and as a digital download and stream on all common platforms.
Die Blu-ray enthält neben dem Hauptfilm (Laufzeit ca. 100 Minuten) umfangreiches
In addition to the main film (running time approx. 100 minutes), the Blu-ray contains extensive bonus material, including an audio commentary with director Dominik Galizia and lead actor Martin Rohde as well as the featurette ‘Martin im Labor’. The DVD version has the same features, with the exception of the sound and picture formats. Both formats are available in stores now.
‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Ringo’ tells the story of Ringo Fleisch, a scaffolder from Herne, who loses his job after a serious accident at work and joins the travelling world of the funfair. As a prizefighter in a fairground stall, he rises to become a local hero, but increasingly loses control of his life. At the centre of the story is his fragile relationship with his deaf daughter Mia and a failed attempt to combine responsibility with escapism.
The film was released in German cinemas on 6 September last year and was shown again yesterday on Father’s Day at the Hasenheide open-air cinema as a transition to the home entertainment sector. With his third feature film after ‘Figaro’s Wolves’ and ‘Heiko’s World’, director Dominik Galizia remains true to his narrative approach of staging social outsiders in a precisely observed milieu. The press particularly praised the authentic visual language, the strong cast and the dense local colour of the Ruhr region.
The film will next be presented in cinemas as part of the 17th German Film Fest Madrid. The festival will take place from 11 to 15 June 2025 at the Cines Embajadores in Madrid and will show current German film productions.
