Wilhelm Sasnal on the score of The Assistant (based on the novel by Robert Walser) with Esg producer and 99 Records founder Ed Bahlman and Anne-Katrin Titze: “It was very important to have sort of timeless music.”
In the first instalment with Wilhelm Sasnal, co-director with Anka Sasnal of his adaptation of Robert Walser’s The Assistant, we are joined by Esg producer and 99 Records founder Ed Bahlman. The film (shot by Wilhelm Sasnal) includes scenes set to songs by Blod (Gustaf Dicksson), The Smiths (I Don’t Owe You Anything by Morrissey & Johnny Marr) from their 1984 début album, and Esg on 99 Records (Dance by Renee Scroggins) from their 1983 début album.

Esg’s Renee Scroggins may be over 60, but her voice still has the same mix of joy, mischievousness, and don’t-fuck-with-us sass when she sings “Moody” or “Erase You” that she had when she was a teenager performing with her sisters in the 1970s and early 1980s.
