Synopsis
Young Goethe in Love (Goethe!, 2010) is a German period drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Philipp Stölzl gives Alexander Fehling the role of a headstrong young Goethe — law student, gifted poet, sent to a dull provincial courthouse by his exasperated father after failing his exams.
In the sleepy town of Wetzlar he falls for Charlotte Buff (Miriam Stein). Smart, warm, already engaged to someone else — someone Goethe actually likes, which makes everything worse. What unfolded in the summer of 1772 would be written down three years later as The Sorrows of Young Werther, turning an obscure student into a literary sensation across Europe.
Stölzl plays it straight, no hagiography. Fehling carries the film: raw, funny, and genuinely lovelorn. Watch Young Goethe in Love online on iFILM.
