Inside

“Inside” tells the story of Nemo an art thief who enters a collector’s penthouse apartment hunting for valuable works of art. As he enters, the security system locks everything down. And then malfunctions. He is locked inside. At Sirst, he expects his partners in crime to arrive, then the security guards or the police. Or the owner. But no one comes. Then he hopes and prays for a cleaning lady to come. A servant. Someone to clean the aquarium. Anyone. But no one comes. And days stretch out into months. He is locked inside a prison adorned with exquisite, strange, even eerie works of art: works that he both covets and admires, but which are now, for him, useless. Instead he must use all of his cunning and invention to survive. To break into all the locked spaces to Sind all the food and liquid he will need. The luxury penthouse – this locus of perfection and aspiration – has become a prison. A desert island. A torture chamber. And then a place of revelation.

Rike – a doctor from Europe, 40 years old – embodies a Western idea of happiness and success. She is educated, self-confident, determined and dedicated. Rike makes her daily living as an emergency doctor in Cologne before she starts her vacation in Gibraltar. There she sets sail alone with her sailboat. The destination of her journey is the Atlantic island Ascension Island. Her vacation comes to an abrupt end when she finds herself in the immediate vicinity of an overloaded, wrecked fishing boat after a storm at sea. Several dozen people are in danger of drowning. Rike first follows the usual rescue chain and requests assistance by radio. When her pleas for help go unanswered, time is running out, and a third-party rescue proves unlikely, Rike is forced to act.

Desaster

After the surprise success of “Bis zum Ellenbogen”, the new, pitch-black gangster comedy by and with Justus von Dohnányi, Jan Josef Liefers, Stefan Kurt, Anna Loos and Milan Peschel.

The two professional killers Ed and Mace get the order from the corrupt lawyer Dr. Würsch to rob gunrunner Mischa in his villa in St. Tropez. A plan that other petty criminals also forge, and so begins an absurd chase for big money, in which people die for all they’re worth without a single shot being fired.

Manifesto

The Nationalgalerie at Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin presents a solo exhibition of Berlin-based artist Julian Rosefeldt from February 10 to July 10, 2016. Manifesto is an installation consisting of 13 parallel films and a tribute to the moving tradition of artists’ manifestos. Rosefeldt’s work emphasizes the literary beauty and performative energy of artists’ manifestos. He has collaged numerous original historical manifestos into 13 poetic monologues and presents them as a living, highly contemporary call in moving images.

Mein Kampf

Mein Kampf

Mein Kampf

In 1910, the young Hitler travels from the deepest Austrian province to Vienna to conquer the whole world as a painter. He rents a room in a men’s home in Leichengasse to await the big day of the entrance examination to the Academy of Fine Arts. He shares the shabby shack, populated by countless workers and vagrants, with two Jews: the windy Bible salesman Schlomo Herzl and the kosher cook Lobkowitz, who claims to be God. sometimes he really performs miracles. The ageless Schlomo wants to write his own book: ‘My Life’ finds little favor here, ‘Mein Kampf’ all the more so. Adolf Hitler is also enthusiastic … The hospitable, philanthropic Schlomo feels responsible for the impetuous Hitler and takes care of him. But for Hitler, whom the ‘Academy of Fine Arts’ rejects for the second time days later, having overestimated his talents beyond measure, a world collapses. And again it is the good Schlomo who rushes to the aid of Hitler, who in his hopelessness is seeking death, at the last second. The behavior of the penniless, increasingly rebellious Hitler, who sinks into the gap between his own delusions of grandeur and his confirmed lack of talent, into hatred and paranoia, becomes increasingly unbearable for Schlomo. Hitler shamelessly takes advantage of Schlomo, who cooks for him, washes for him and even trims his mustache, and on top of that wrests the young Gretchen away from him. Ironically, it is Schlomo, of all people, who recommends that Hitler seek his fortune in politics. He apparently has certain leadership qualities. A short time later, Hitler joined a radical group that was willing to use any means to achieve its ambitious goals. He eventually pushes his way to the top of them.

The film grotesque MY FIGHT, based on Tabori’s fabulous play, which has been performed all over the world, is not a historical reconstruction of Hitler’s Vienna period.

Rather, it is the timeless parable of good serving evil, blurring the lines between reality and fiction.
