Saç (Theater Review)

Saç

Saç in the 63rd Locarno Film Festival shown.

Content:

stands all day long Hamdi ( Ayberk Pekcan ) in his shop in a shabby neighborhood Istanbul. Throughout the room busts on shelves on the walls: Hamdi sells wigs. He speaks little, smokes all the time and is very lonely. to live a long time he has not - he has cancer - and would go before his death more than happy times to Brazil, he knows of a billboard outside his shop.
One day, Meryem ( Nazan Kesal ) to it in the store and would like to sell him her hair. When she solves her headscarf, Hamdi amazed not bad: Her black hair reached down over the hips. Slowly, it truncates Hamdi. When leaving Meryem his shop, he follows her. It turns out that in a Einkaufszentrum arbeitet und ein distanziertes Verhältnis zu ihrem Mann ( Riza Akin ) hat. Hamdi kann nicht mehr von ihr ablassen und folgt Meryem Tag und Nacht. Die Situation wird immer bizarrer.

Kritik:

Saç ist der vierte Spielfilm des Türken Tayfun Pirselimoglu, der sowohl Regie führte als auch das Drehbuch schrieb. Dass er zuvor in Wien Malerei studiert hatte, merkt man auch seinem neusten Werk an. Schliesslich glänzt Saç in erster Linie durch seine Bilder, die allesamt perfekt komponiert, aufwändig ausgeleuchtet und mit gezielter Symbolik angereichert sind. Mit seiner eindringlichen Bildsprache gelingt es Pirselimoglu, ein Istanbul voller Melancholie and loneliness present. The characters always return to the same deserted places and also some adjustment coming back. In this case the action is staged very static, and consequently also the camera barely moves.

not enough to move the characters in the film very slowly and deliberately, they hardly talk. Then, when times held a dialogue, it is just and necessary limits again. Rather, these figures seem to gaze to communicate, while their bodies are like stuck between the walls and walls. More unexpected outbreak of violence comes at the short end. About the inner lives of the protagonists, we learn, but even in this little scene, or Only by implication suggests. In general, it remains in the dark as to what is now Hamdi's plan or whether he has any. Almost floating as he moves through the city, said his shop and the view from the window marked the starting point.

Maybe is the recurrent image of Hamdi, as he alone in a room full of "dead", staring at him heads, is dar. a metaphor for isolation of the individual in modern Turkish society because no matter whether the characters are at home in the dark living room or on the bus full of people are, they're always lonely and isolated. Stressing Pirselimoglu contrast between the modern, fast paced city life and the slow, Islamic Tradition. On the visual level that is sent illustrated by seeing thunder past about once in a deserted, barren village in the background of the highway.

All well and good, but not change the fact that the film drags. It is simply not enough. Pirselimoglu devotes much time to develop the plot, without really giving the audience a reason to empathize with Hamdi. Only toward the end of something dynamic is in the matter, and the final is both extremely bizarre and quite unsatisfactory.

Saç photographed is great, but for no more than art-house fans really interesting. A real festival film plane.

Curling (Theater Review)

Curling

Curling in the 63rd Locarno Film Festival shown and there won the Golden Leopard for best director and best leading actor.

Content:

The 12-year-old Julyvonne (Philomène Bilodeau) is not a normal child. From her father, Jean-François (Emmanuel Bilodeau) it is guarded as his eyeball, while their mother in the psychiatric Institute sits. They live in the suburb of a town in Quebec. Julyvonne almost never leaves the house and was taught at home her whole life - but only with moderate success, because they can not even solve the simplest math problem. Nevertheless, her father is convinced that a public school is not right for his daughter.
Jean-François has a day job in a bowling alley, at night in a seedy motel, but also little contact with society. Only after a series of incidents, he begins to realize that something is wrong in his life. But while his daughter is already making their own development, after the dismal forest Fund has made.

criticism

Denis Côté is not exactly known for being more readily accessible films. Nevertheless Curling could compared to his other works are more suitable for the mass, but thanks to the fact that he wakes up on a content as on a formal level associations with Fargo . On the one hand, the number of morbid and bizarre plot elements, on the other hand, it takes place in a snowy, remote suburban area. Much more common are there but not as Fargo course, much more of the classic Hollywood narrative structure is required.

Côté contrast tells his film in a very few, very long shots. These are then usually very static and quiet, so they could count the beginning without any problems. Also stands out from the beginning of the artistic intention to portray loneliness and isolation, as if on an icy road appears in an endless field of snow, the film title. This is already established that visual core issue is to permeate the whole film: the color white. This can be found virtually everywhere - in nature, on the deserted streets or in bare interiors. Often the images seem almost as if they had been painted with some color to a blank, white canvas. Thus, the viewing public to cold and harshness of the world inside and outside of the figures made it abundantly clear.

So while the art work was paid very close attention to what is shown on the assembly rather what is not just shown. We learn little about the background of the characters, and are within the story partly skipped sudden events. Shall renounce Côté aware of a rounded narrative flow and expected the audience to take initiative and to care of themselves for what happened. This is somewhat difficult because the basic problem is indeed given his history, however, merely indicated.

From the beginning you can feel that behind the facade of harmonious father-daughter relationship is something wrong. You wait a certain extent, to an explosion, which solves the problems, or at least disclose what of Côté also aware - are denied - presumably out of conviction. Everything remains vague and imprecise. Finally, it leaves Côté then by pointing to a possible healing process. The problem with Curling is less that he reduced his story telling and restrained, but that this very banal and somehow in the end is irrelevant.

Forgotten Flags

Whom the disgusting "Germany" bawling these days and the Verschandlung von Gebäuden, Autos und Menschen mit schwarz-rot-golden Lappen aller Art stört sei auf das, bereits 2006 entstandene Filmprojekt "Vergessene Fahnen" von Florian Thalhofer und Juliane Henrich hingewiesen.

Diese reisten damals durch das Land und interviewten verschiedene Menschen zur ihrer Motivation die "Deutschland" - Fahne zu zeigen bzw. auch nach der Fussball-WM nicht mehr abzunehmen, sowie ihrem Verhältnis zu Deutschland.

Entstanden sind sehenswerte Innenansichten der deutschen Gesellschaft. Trailer des Filmes sind auf obiger website bzw. einzelne Ausschnitte auf youtube zu sehen.

anti-Semitism is not an adventure cruise

The group Morgenthau calls for Sunday, 20 June 2010 a demonstration under the slogan "Solidarity with Israel " in Frankfurt am Main.

In call it includes the following:

While Islamism determines the strategy, is the left-servants to the task of dressing concrete war plans in the jargon of democracy, whose beautiful appearance is as transparent as the veil humanitarian assistance, with the act of the applied their anti-civilization disobedience scantily clad. The salary for the intercultural exchange: a place aboard a cruise adventure, separated women, including decks.

(...) What Islam and the Left than the fact that their performances are invariably ugly phenomena that connects is the collective narcissistic disposition of these two victims Communities. The pique of the Left is evident: there is no single project that they have not set politically and morally in the sand. Their empathy with the pure victim ideology, Islam is promoted by its own bankruptcy and manifests itself in a practice, which shows that pleasure, in short, adventure feeling is possible only as destructive as Antietatismus of fools, who acted out in particular at the Jewish state.
