Of course, living the Berlinale, especially this year for their 60th Jubilee by the big names, the deserving directors, whose films in the Berlinale Palast their premieres and world premieres to celebrate. At least in this respect was in the first days of something available. According to Roman Polanski’s The Ghost Writer Martin Scorsese’s new work today Shutter Iceland was on the program and saw the light of the attending celebrities for a proper media boost. And it was not just because the expectations of Shutter Iceland, at least in parts of the public and the press were somewhat high. With such a height it is no wonder then that many journalists were more a little disappointed with the new work of the director. What was not so much to the images rather than in a less-inspired story, which is like a patchwork of well-known pieces from film and literature. Leonardo DiCaprio plays in Iceland shutter the U.S. Marshall Edward Daniels, who together with his new partner, Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) in the early 1950s, the disappearance of a patient in a clinic for mentally disturbed most serious on the island Shutter Iceland to investigate. Unfortunately, not even the Most Stable Daniels mentally since he was a soldier in the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp there and also have lost his wife in a fire. The disappearance of the patient appears particularly Daniels suspicious from the start and he speculates that the whole story being told to him by the senior physician Dr. Cawley (Ben Kingsley), something is wrong. However, it seems with him myself up some in Argentina, as he always is plagued by severe migraine attacks, nightmares and symptoms that can fuse the fiction and reality, the obscure events on the island and Daniels traumatic past experiences with each other. Until finally, the whole truth will come out. And which really is not what has Daniels expects … Actually it’s pretty clear that the story that followed Edward Daniels in the course of the film, something is strange and he himself is a prisoner of delusion and Fkition. This makes the film by his suspense and one would wish almost, instead of the actual resolution would have the template is moved further to the rather trashy side paths of the nested story, especially since Scorsese and Lehane dig vigorously in the find box of film history and Crime / Mystery Literature and Agatha Christie’s works plunder as well as films like Identity, The Sixth Sense or other “mindfuck movies” as well as age-old horror à la Frankenstein. The problem is that you can not help feeling, is all this to have already seen elsewhere – perhaps not always so brilliantly staged, but in itself consistent and round. This lack of narrative originality, which should lie mainly on the novel of Dennis Lehane tried to Scorsese by the rather pungent score, and other tricks to compensate for the voltage from the available clothing cinemas. More than pure formulaic and unwound a routine genre comes in beautiful packaging patchwork while but not out. (Joachim Kurz)

After his spectacular escape from a Canadian prison Mesrine it pulls back to France in 1973, where he will soon be the merciless Commissioner Boussard (Olivier Gourmet taken). But would not Mesrine Mesrine, if he does not yet have an escape plan in store. Located in the courthouse, he captures the judge and can pile up again.

In spite of the more complex characters, character drawing succeeds director Richet in the second part, to place a number of spectacular action scenes. He chases the young filmmakers obviously staged as a tribute to William Friedkin (French Connection) and John Frankenheimer (Ronin) work. Richet reveled in Public Enemy No.. 1 – killing instinct still in blues and reds, he designed a death wish for a different color that corresponds with its brown and orange accent the changing temporal and thematic focus of the second part. Although developed here some storyline somewhat frayed and acts as a less concentrated in one part, and Richet a torture scene stylized exaggeration of a journalist selbstzweckhaft, bringing Public Enemy No.. 1 – Jacques Mesrine, the death instinct farewell after four hours in an overall better end.

Three years ago, Andrea Maria leg was debut novel Murder Farm is a sensational success, received the German Crime Prize, and stood for weeks on the bestseller list. This was followed by a Monica Bleibtreu read audiobook version and a play. Now, the Swiss director Bettina Oberli (North Wind, The Late Bloomers) adapted the novel for the big screen and directed an impressive, densely atmospheric drama. Murder Farm is the synonym for a tragedy. Reconstruction is a carnage in the fictional town in Bavaria, situated in a farm in the mid 50s. There the whole family Danner with the pickaxe was murdered in cold blood: the old farmer Danner, his careworn wife, daughter Barbara, her two small children and the maid. No one in the village of fact, noticed something surprising, but it does not. For the old Danner (Vitus Zeplichal) was an unpredictable tyrant, not only his own family cruelly oppressed, but also to the villagers was spiteful and malicious. No one liked him in the village. The offense is two years ago, when the 26 year old Kathrin (Julia Jentsch) in the village shows up, which also has lived in her recently deceased mother. The perpetrator is still not found and Kathleen’s presence brings the tragedy once again. The reclusive villagers Kathrin tell their version of history. Like a mosaic is made up of the individual statements of fact, which is reconstructed in flashback and back to the scene. gives a chronological processing it, neither the novel nor the film and so is the nested narrative back on the canvas. The story refers to a real and unsolved murders six times in 1922 on an isolated farmstead in Upper Bavaria Hinterkaifeck, can one’s blood run cold. The interesting thing about the film but also the conditions in the village, the milieu, the coldness, indifference and bigotry are the villagers. Mutual mistrust and accusations provide a threatening mood. Because the killer is one of them, from among its own. Drawn is a bleak picture of society after the war. States and mysterious murders in a village, stubborn villagers – that may seem familiar to who has the white band of Michael Hanecke considered. In both films it is not primarily concerned with solving the murder or murders. Both films have a similar threatening and disturbing-alone in the staging of the oppressive, patriarchal, strict religious village atmosphere. But while Haneckes drama, before the First World War is happening, and therefore before the horrors of the Nazi terror in this Tannöd are long gone. Shortly after the Second World War, people had hope that evil is finally over. The film shows how fast it can go up to the evil germinates and again how vulnerable people are in favor. With precise, almost documentary look rayed Bettina Oberli life in the village and the cruel deed that is behind it. With her film, she is both an exciting thriller, but also a terrific psychological drama succeeded. (Katrin Knauth)

Genre: Drama, Thriller
Family secret, mother-son relationship, murder suspect
A comparison, call upon the many Koreans like, is the between their own society and Italian. Both Koreans and Italians, were temperamental than their neighbors, then claimed, and in both countries have the mother, “mamma,” a special meaning. Of course these are stereotypes – but like most of this has an element of truth. Effectively available for many Korean mothers of their son in the first place, and many young men need very long to get away from her mother. Mother, the new plant of South Korean director Bong Joon-Ho tells of an almost Oedipal mother-son relationship. Bong has come with the representation of family structures to international fame – his magnificent film, The Host was the most successful Korean film of all time. In quite an ironic way, he took up genre conventions to guide them through exaggeration to absurdity. His fighting against a monster at first about the family was similar in Jurassic Park, to eventually fall apart. Similarly Bong uses in traditional family structures Mother, which he exaggerated. And this time the story is considerably more complex than the plot would suggest. Hye-ja (Kim Hye-ja), Ginseng Seller and acupuncturist, is a typical Korean Ajumma, an elderly lady who works hard and does everything for her young adult son Do-. In her case, this dedication goes so far as to do-jun even the food and cut himself peeing still “healthy” tea infuses. Do-jun (Won Bin) meets the stereotype of the mother’s boy so far as he is of his mother, totally dependent – he has never worked. Won Bin plays him as a naive and good-natured, but somewhat retarded innocent. His Do-jun looks constantly with his mouth open in front of him and lacks any sense of irony. After a night is Thu Jun-arrested on suspicion of murder. A schoolgirl was found dead. The mentally impaired young man can not remember the night in his mother’s wake, however, gave her strength. Hye-ja takes the search for the killers in their own hands – that her son no one could touch a hair is, for them without question. The previously unremarkable lady will lead to the detective and human rights, her campaign against injustice to expose the Korean society. Because the nuclear family is suddenly confronted by a corrupt and disinterested police force, where violence has taken the upper hand just out of boredom. All the characters act as a prototype of a society in transition: in addition to the loving mother there because the unintentionally childless and therefore desperate young woman, the corrupt lawyer, standalone and expelled from the society aged, the alcoholic, the mobbing school children, the sex addict schoolgirl. As in previous works Bong mixes elements of various genres. Film noir, Hitchcock-homage, family drama, Agatha Christie in Korean? All of these descriptions to make, but only in part. Mother is just as much family drama as portrait of society, crime as well as satire. The director himself said: “Apparently it is a crime thriller about a murder case, but there are no police officers as the main character plays. Instead, a mother’s role. We keep joking that membership is a genre ultimately decided by the employees, which the film in the video library sorted. ” Bongs view is exposed and pitilessly. Nothing is as it seems at first. Selfless mother’s love, as propagated in countless Korean songs, books and films will be? Chasms are opening up, when Do-jun childhood memories unpacks. Respect for superiors, as required under the Confucian doctrine? Even the audience is driven to the view presented here of elite fast. Lawyers, graduates of the best universities turn out of the country, as corrupt fraudsters, who receive their client in an irreverent animated. Children as innocent beings? Far from it. In discussions with the classmates of the dead exposed Hye-ja of childhood quickly as life that is full of low motives, power and sexual desires. And the respect for age? The old people here are outcasts. Hye-ja remains is their very own form of acupuncture, to deal with reality. For that it is also its not about justice, then we must recognize them soon. With Kim Hye-ja director Bong has committed an idol of his youth. As a series actress she has been known for years in Korea. That he also places importance on harmonious in the equipment details, shows the production history: The fictional town where the movie plays, is composed of innumerable places throughout South Korea, some locations have been built in the studio. And the film is to be considered great – Bong has filmed in 2:35:1 widescreen format, which is not only the landscapes that enhances the value. In Korea was mainly Kim Hye-ja praised for their game. At the Asian Film Awards 2010 she was honored as Best Actress. In addition, Mother was awarded as Best Film and Best Screenplay. The film was also nominated as South Korea’s official entry for the Oscar ® award-2010th (Claire Horst)
