Toni Erdmann (2016)
This movie got me.
the more time you spend with the characters , the more you understand their motivation and feel attached to them.
The best moments:
- The song with the ‘German ambassador’ playing the keyboard
- The brunch
and it is not only a comedy.
Lore (2012) – an official Australian/German Co-Production
Lore is a teenager, whose parents are Nazis, in 1945 it is a complicated situation. Lore and her siblings are forced to go on a journey after which things will never be the same.
The DP did a great job, the shots of the feat/legs add a nice rhythm to the movie.
The scale of the film and the sets is not big, what it is actually not a bad thing. The movie doesn’t try to be something that it isn’t (like another WW2 super-production), it is a road movie that adds a new perspective to the ‘end of WW2 period’ film genre.
June 1945 Berliner Schule Style
The River Used to Be a Man
Really riveting river experience! The river used to be a man, will the man become the river?
Wir wollten aufs Meer
GDR and friendship do not always come together. The pre-democracy system in Germany (and Poland) has caused many friends-to-faux-amis-transitions when it comes to interpersonal relations.
Nobody tells GDR stories like German directors/writers do. The rawness of storytelling and various (well created) characters make this movie worth watching. I will not go into details of the plot, but if you had seen and liked Das Leben der Anderen and Barbara, you won’t be disappointed.
Wallride the Berlin Wall
To nie West Coast tylko East Coast żelaznej kurtyny, deski robi się tu w domu, a widok prezroczystych kółek sprawia, że oczy się świecą. Deskorolek nie kupuje się w sklepie, tylko czeka się na nowa porcję świeżoprzemyconych sztuk z zachodu. Triki pod Fernsehtur-em, condory na ramieniu i breaki pod curry-budą. Nic dziwnego, że “towarzysze” z NRD chcieli w pewnym momencie wychować sobie własną sportową sekcję skatebordową.
