G16 Angry Harvest |
Nominated for an Academy Award for "Best Foreign Film", the latest most remarkable film by Agnieszka Holland features Fassbinder veterans Armin Mueller-Stahl and Elisabeth Trissenaar. It is a wartime story that is both a character study and a mesmerizing cat and mouse game between a Polish Catholic farmer and a Jewish woman who has escaped a train bound for the Nazi death camps. Set in Silesia during WWII, the drama unfolds with the concealment of the woman by the wealthy sexually repressed farmer, and moves through various stages of power and powerlessness on both sides. The battle between the two is dispassionate yet haunting in its portrayal of this ill-fated relationship.

Or will the send them back across the border to certain death? The terrible twists and turns of this life-or-death decision create a chilling suspense that is unrelenting to the final frame. |

G26 Potsdammer Konferenz |

Das Gipfeltreffen sollte auch die künftige Friedensordnung Europas und die Zukunft Japans festlegen. Doch schon die ersten Sitzungen der >Großen Drei< brachten harte Kontroversen: Winston Churchhill, an dessen Stelle Ende Juli Attlee trat, wehrte sich vehement gegen ein kommunistisches Regime in Polen und gegen die sowjetische Politik vollendeter Tatsachen auf dem Balkan. Stalin ließ sich nicht in die Karten schauen >Eisernen Vorhang<, nannte dies Churchill - ... |

G28 Nosferatu |
Set Picturesquely in middle Europe during an unspecified time in the past, NOSFERATU is the story of a man who journeys to a distant mountain town on business. He finds it curiously deserted, save for Graf Orlok's castle, whom the villagers, in daylight, called "Nosferatu". NOSFERATU is the Dracula story, filtered through the inspired vision of the great Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau (SUNRISE). It is an unusual film to come out of the German expressionist period in that so much of it was shot on location . While directors such as Lang and Lubitscs built vast forests and entire towns within the studio, NOSFERAT's landscapes, towns and castles were actual locations in the Carpathian mountains. Murnau was this able to infuse his story with the subtle tones of nature: both pure and fresh as well as twisted and sinister. This newly restored Kino version of the classic was mastered from a 35mm negative and includes recently discovered scenes and intertitles freshly translated from the original German prints. |

This powerful cult favorite is directed by Film Noir specialist Fritz Lang. It tells of a man who assassinates a top Nazi leader and his interaction with the townspeople.
