Poster for Hecate

2015 · ★ 3.0 (0)

Two young women. One of them symbolizes peacefulness, the other is full of aggressive energy. Together they break the boundaries of their bodies to set their inner powers free, by transforming themselves through a tribal dance. HECATE has found its inspiration with the rhythm of Kenji Kawai's music for "Ghost in the Shell 2, Innocence", for whom this exercise is a tribute.

Poster for When Pomegranates Howl

2021 · ★ 7.0 (3)

Shot on the streets of Kabul, Granaz Moussavi’s (My Tehran For Sale) outstanding new feature is in the tradition of the great child-centred works of the 1980s when filmmakers such as Kiarostami, Panahi and Amir Naderi (to whom this film is dedicated) were putting Iranian cinema in the forefront of world production. 9-year-old Hewad is an irrepressible, street-smart kid who is energetically working every angle, hustling everything from pomegranate juice to amulets to protection from the evil eye. His real ambition is to be a movie star, and this comes a step closer when he meets an Australian photographer. But in a city where every family has a member who has been “martyred,” the streets are as perilous as they are vivid. Australia’s recent involvement with Afghanistan has been mixed, to say the best. The deeply-felt humanism of this film might just be our most effective contribution to that troubled country.

Poster for Travelling Hawkers in Frankfurt am Main

1932 · ★ 6.2 (20)

A documentary about unemployed people who bought fruit and vegetables at moderate prices at the wholesale market and sold these in the streets of Frankfurt. Since they had no permits they were constantly with their bulky carts on the run from the police. One part of the film was shot at the fairgrounds in front of the wholesale market. Newspaper and lottery ticket vendors, propagandists offering their ware for a few pfennigs, all convey the mood of a time when need made people inventive.

The film is set in a country house in Germany on that summer day in 1918 when Germany became a republic and the former emperor left the country. Cecilie, the daughter of parents loyal to the emperor but impoverished, is to be married to the rich Alfred. But on this day, a punk from the future appears, with whom Cecilie immediately falls in love. Communication is difficult, however, as the punk can speak but the other characters are mute and can only be understood through intertitles and exaggerated gestures.
