Inspired by true events, David Wagner’s acclaimed drama Eismayer tells the story of a secretly gay military officer whose tough façade conceals a clandestine double life. Sergeant Major Charles Eismayer (Gerhard Liebmann) is known and feared as the toughest training officer in the Austrian Armed Forces, ruthless with recruits and unwavering in his discipline, order and machismo. But when he unexpectedly starts to fall in love with Falak, a recruit who unashamedly embraces his homosexuality, Eismayer’s closeted existence is shaken to the core as he is forced to reconcile his fiercely masculine identity with desire for another man.
Extras include: behind the scenes documentary with interviews

David Wagner’s Eismayer, which had its première in Venice and is screening as part of the Glasgow Film Festival, tells the kind of story which is hard to take seriously until one discovers that it’s true. It’s built around a compelling character who might at first seem an unlikely choice of protagonist, but whose courage in changing his life after getting into an almost impossible position makes this a gripping piece of work. When David and I met to discuss the film, he told me how the two of them first came into contact.
“I first heard of Eismayer when I was serving at the Austin army, when I was 18. I heard all kinds of cool stories about this Eismayer guy but I never met him. So for me it was just stories and...
