Is Mastrabating Wrong

180 ° (Theater Review)

180 °

180° - Wenn deine Welt plötzlich Kop f steht wurd eim Rahmen des 6. Zurich Film Festival gezeigt.

Inhalt:

Ein Amoklauf eines Zürcher Beamten beeinflusst auf höchst unterschiedliche Weise die Leben von rund einem Duzend Leuten. Ein junges Paar auf dem Weg zu einem Geschäftstermin überfährt zwei Jugendliche, als sie davon im Radio hören. Während das Mädchen sofort tot ist, landet der Junge türkischer Herkunft im Koma auf der Intensivstation. Dessen Eltern und drei Geschwister sind fassunglos, wobei der Konflikt zwischen den unterschiedlich stark integrierten Familienmitgliedern zum Vorschein kommt.
Auch für die Eltern des Mädchens scheint eine Welt zusammenzubrechen: Während sich der Vater, Professor für Literatur, von der Familie entfremdet hat und mit den Avancen einer Studentin konfrontiert ist, arbeitet die Mutter in ebendem Krankenhaus, in das der türkische Junge eingeliefert wird. Währenddessen ist der Amokläufer noch immer auf der Flucht...

Kritik:

Schon in der ersten Minute lässt Cihan Inan keinen Zweifel daran, dass 180 Grad weit entfernt vom eitlen Sonnenschein der üblichen Fernseh- und Spielfilmproduktionen hierzulande ist: Nachdem ein Mann mit seiner Ex-Frau und seinem small son on the phone, the camera reveals an assault rifle and an office full of corpses. Had the film not even the Swiss reputation for being honest and discouraged? This would prejudice director and screenwriter Inan clean up obviously by making (inspired by a true event in the eighties) just run amok on the pivotal point in its history.

impressed most about 180 degrees sure that the film from the beginning, therefore, is coming off a surprisingly high level. With haunting imagery and without unnecessary palaver Inan draws us into the story and drives it forward quickly. At the technical level, there is absolutely nothing to complain about. Thus, on the same new digital camera system is rotated, which had included Che or District 9 emerged. The fantastic camera work, the atmospheric night scenes and naturalistic lighting design speak for themselves: The TV look that characterized many earlier Swiss film is definitely over!

RMS was also used the soundtrack, which moves especially in the many dialogue-free scenes in the foreground. Here is a problem of the film comes to light, namely, that it of everything is too much sometimes . Often, it would not have been necessary to take out the extra wood hammer to what is shown possible to give a dramatic mood. So when disaster will be ranked in disaster, then steals one here and there the sense of showmanship.

This is reinforced by the fact that most figures are therefore relatively one-dimensional. While some actors can skillfully conceal this - would be to nenen Christopher Buchholz, Michael Neuenschwander and Carla Yuri - the others remain flat or even go under completely. What have such as Sabine Timoteo and Leonardo Nigro lost in this film other than a nice-to-have , remains a mystery. Next there is a lack of exciting products character development, with lots of interesting conflicts but cut, but in the end only scanty aufgelöst werden. So macht 180 Grad gegen Ende einen ausgefransten Eindruck und hätte locker eine weitere Viertelstunde mit überraschenden character turns vertragen.

Trotz allem: Im Vergleich zum anderen Schweizer Querschnittsfilm der letzten Jahre, Happy New Year , überzeugt 180 Grad durch seine spannende und dichte Erzählweise. Inan scheut sich nicht, ernsthafte Probleme anzusprechen, und erinnert dabei im positiven Sinne an das amerikanische Vorbild L.A. Crash . Ist der Schweizer Film etwa endlich erwachsen geworden?

6th Zurich Film Festival (23 September - 3 October 2010)

Ten years ago it would have probably no one dared to dream that the position of the traditional Locarno Film Festival as the largest annual event in this industry could ever be called into question. Today, there is now already the sixth edition of the Zurich Film Festival (ZFF) has run across the stage, things look a bit different: With its largely in private hands financed Festival (as opposed to government-sponsored Locarno) have the two organizers Karl Spoerri and Nadia Schildknecht already made a solid reputation internationally. The Over 40,000 visitors this year are not yet a comparison with the 150,000 of Locarno, but nevertheless already a considerable success. For more negative press last year caused the surprising arrest of the star guest Roman Polanski, but the popularity of the festival should not also have hurt. Such scandals were

it to report this year, no, more than the Swiss did not feel too good light, since it Adrian Grenier due to a four-hour delay of the flight in time for the premiere of his film managed Teenage Paparazzo . In contrast, eddy caused the opening film Sennentuntschi by Michael Steiner, whose production history is already full of obstacles had shown a constant theme in the local press. Apparently it was the opening night where the film premiered, some viewers not clear that they would get to see a horror thriller with a corresponding visual representations, and no feel-good Sunday night movie.

The program bribed this year primarily due to its abundance and variety, and finally ran some 70 films over 11 days. In addition to the International Feature Film Competition , the German Feature Film Competition and the International Documentary Competition were among the films that Out of Competition ran numerous audience magnets. In addition, among all was the New World View, which dealt this year with cinematic treats from Australia, for surprises. As a retrospective of the work of Milos Forman were shown, was honored for his lifetime achievements.

As Zurich I took during the festival, of course, practically in the cinema Corso, where most of the films were shown, usual. I turn to the accreditation passes through OutNow . However, the batch on ZFF was not even half as chic as that of Locarno . Also, the whole procedure with the ticket Get proved quite mühsam, einerseits da die Leute an den Kassen kaum informiert schienen, anderseits weil die Pressevorführungen für mich zu sehr ungünstigen Zeiten stattfanden. Weiter gab es hie und da Probleme beim Abspielen, was insbesondere dann etwas peinlich ist, wenn der Regisseur des gezeigten Filmes im Publikum sitzt.
Natürlich ist auch Positives zu vermelden. Die Fragerunden mit dem Filmemachern im Anschluss der Vorstellungen waren oft aufschlussreich und persönlich, vor allem bei Snowman's Land , 180° und Beijing Punk . Gerade die Organisation des Dokumentarfilm-wettbewerbs machte einen überaus kompetenten Eindruck und es war auch überhaupt kein Problem, mit den Leuten nachher to engage in conversation. The "real" stars were for ordinary people, of course, not so accessible, if one of them for anything mitbekam. A glamorous center that would meet the Piazza Grande in Locarno has emerged in Zurich have ever had. The canopy of the Corso cinema just is simply not enough.

But let us to what it actually is at the festival: the films. 13 pieces I have seen it and to my utter surprise, they all ranged from good to very good. Either because I had a very lucky hand or the festival program was indeed a masterpiece. In particular, the five documentaries were produced, but also the Swiss film presented me with Sennentuntschi and 180 ° in a light, as one does not know otherwise. He was surpassed only by the German film that was even more for quality. The two best movies I've seen at the festival were, on the one hand Snowman's Land , a darkly comic thriller from Germany, on the other hand Teenage Paparazzo , a fascinating discussion of Adrian Grenier, himself each objective of the camera flashes, with a 13-year-old boy who makes every day on the hunt for celebs.

The golden eyes of the three Wettbewerbskategorien gewannen schlussendlich The Woman with a Broken Nose , Das Lied in mir und Armadillo . Davon habe ich leider keinen gesehen.

criticism

filmmaker Wes Anderson was previously best known for quirky indie comedies and his collaborations with Owen Wilson and Bill Murray. With the film adaptation of the children's book "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" by Roland Dahl, he now supplies from his first animation film. Although these occur exclusively today in most cases on the computer and in 3D, Anderson decided to resort for his film on the "old fashioned" technique of stop motion. He told the animators to make the movements of the characters intentionally abrupt and volatile liquid and place rounded. It was also used for the dolls real fur, which is difficult to control and to allow a "wind effect" has resulted, since the hair move with every touch something.

A similar claim was Anderson approached the narrative style of the film. Instead of a complete and simple as possible suspense, as is expected for children's films often incorrectly, tell Anderson and his co-writer Noah Baumbach, the story of Mr. Fox's fast-paced, Elan and quirky ideas. These are the images mainly of perky red, yellow and brown dominated, giving the film a great fall look. The beautifully detailed design of the love scenes is complemented by the musical accompaniment, on the one hand, of the fabulous score by Alexandre Desplat is, scores on the other hand, for example, with songs by the Beach Boys and the Rolling Stones. Finally now you can feel again Anderson's typical style.

The figure of Mr. Fox - voiced by George Clooney - is created somewhere between the civilized world of humans and wild nature of animals. On the one hand, he dresses stylishly, is formed and meets every other with a certain arrogance, on the other hand, is always the animal in him to light, it was only when he greedily herunterschlingt his breakfast. So it is very refreshing to see in a children's film once a main character, commits the numerous errors and sometimes plain selfish and immoral acts. Darüber hinaus enthält der Film durchaus einige Szenen, die in der Figur von Mr. Fox einen weit tiefschürfenderen Konflikt aufdecken: Als "gezähmtes" Tier ist er zwiegespalten zwischen seinen Verpflichtungen als Ehemann und Teil der Gesellschaft einerseits, und einem tief verwurzelten Drang nach Wildnis, nach Abenteuer, nach Gefahr anderseits - ein höchst animalischer Trieb, der im Film schlussendlich allen Tieren innewohnt. So gesehen handelt Fantastic Mr. Fox im Grunde von einer Revolution der Tiere gegen die Menschenwelt mit ihren Gewehren, Bauernhöfen und Eisenbahnen. Dies widerspiegelt sich in der turbulenten, ja geradezu anarchistisch anmutenden Inszenierung und kommt am beeindruckendsten in der Szene mit dem Wolf zum Expression. In the end, Anderson's film is a love letter to the savage and animalistic, but this is somewhere in all of us.

criticism

With his movie debut Control star photographer Anton Corbijn one of the most successful British films of recent years. The expectations for his second film were correspondingly large. Naturally, then, that Corbijn did not want to be committed to a genre and the novel A Very Private Gentleman filmed a thriller. The adaptation, entitled The American is still much less action film than the trailer wants us to believe. It's pleasant, in the times of The Bourne Ultimatum again to see a Hitman movie, which does not require ultra hectic handheld camera and average frequency of three seconds. The American is rather a film with a classic plot, which was also directed classic. The pace of the film is quiet, almost meditative, and the recordings stand out above all atmosphere and color.

The film was developed with a hit man whose life is less of shootouts and chases because a lot of solitude, interrupted by short, intense outbursts of violence. This Corbijn is probably closer to reality than the aforementioned Bourne films, if one can speak in this genre at all of "realistic". It should also be more of a target group aged over 30 are attracted by the film, not least thanks to the cast the lead role by Mr. Nespresso. Nevertheless, the problem that the leisurely narrative pace is ideal for art-house drama - such as Control - may be, but for a thriller. Thus The American carries some meaning, without giving the viewer plenty to offer.

The starting point of the film - a mysterious stranger arrives in a small town and stands out as a killer - very reminiscent of a western. Sun pays homage to his idols Corbijn bluntly respect by a scene in the background play me the song of death can run on TV. Is being closed and the grim look tells George Clooney's role with characters such as those of John Wayne. That his game still does not project really is, because it is not big different from other films such as Clooney in Michael Clayton . The rest of the cast to convince, but again without really stay in memory because their characters fail not finally interesting. Thekla Reuten is worth mentioning only that you know possibly from In Bruges, as Jack's "colleague".

interesting way is the comparison between the latter and The American . but the two films could not be more different - both have a similar idea - submerged (r) Killer in a small town in the middle of nowhere. In comparison to Martin McDonagh's ingenious sense of black humor is Corbijn's film rather dull and monotonous, even when he photographed extremely stylish.
