Fanny und Alexander (1982)
Family drama where the mother of three children, after her husband, a theater director, dies, finally marries a bishop (that's in Sweden) who, however, is an incarnation of intolerance. One of those quite rare films making me really think about myself. By directing legend Ingmar Bergman.
A young American and a French Girl meet in a train and decide to spend a night in Vienna together - not in a hotel, but just in the city. I found very few movies that touching. With Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke.
Two girls meet in LA, one being there for a casting and the other one just survived a strange car crash. In the course of time their lives become twisted more and more... One of the mystery films by famous director David Lynch. Contrary to other of his films, (a little) less violent but more visually appealing.
A homeless couple, a client in search for a working girl and a business man, who picked up a black boy at the airport during one night while the Pope (virtually) visits Berlin. Probably not everyone's taste, but I find it a masterpiece. From Andreas Dresen, with Susanne Bormann.
18-year old Georg and 13-year old Barbara have been playing together as children. Play becomes love later, which leads to a catastrophe, as their parents are hostile (Romeo and Juliet...) leading to file a report to the court, as Barbara is still under age. One of the last DEFA productions. With Julia Brendler (as Barbara).
Life and death of famous Cellist Hilary du Pre. Actually, however, the film is much more, contrasting her concept of life with that of her sister. Based on a fine and very sensible book written by Hilary du Pre on the life of her sister. With Emily Watson. (Technically, unfortunately one of the worst DVDs ever pressed.)
Raus aus Amal (1998)
Åmål is a small insignificant Swedish town where nothing ever happens. Young Elin has a bit of a bad reputation when it comes to guys. Another girl in her school, Agnes, is in love with her but is too shy to do anything about it. - Was a huge hit in Sweden, but passed nearly unnoticed in Germany.
Directed by Lukas Moodysson who became famous with that film.
A woman has to find back into life, after her husband, a famous
composer, and daughter were killed in a car accident. While trying to
reconstruct some work of her husband, she makes quite unexpected
discoveries. By director
legend Krzystof Kieslowski. With Juliette Binoche (probably her best
film ever). Wonderful score by Zbigniew Preisner.
Two
angels land over Berlin as a (yet) divided town. They take you by the
hand and learn you carefully watching of detail. Finally, one of
the angels becomes uneasy with his state and wants to change
immortality for love to a human girl.The red line is a Poem "When the
child was a child" by Peter Handke. A wonderfully poetic film from Wim
Wenders. Later US re-make City of Angels was mediocre compared to the
original.
