Tribeca: „Klitschko“ von Sebastian Dehnhardt ist kein K.O.-Sieg
Die Klitschko-Brüder sind mit Sicherheit nicht die größten Boxer aller Zeiten – sie gehören aber zu den (körperlich) größten und dominieren auch deswegen die Schwergewichtsszene seit einigen Jahren. Vitali und Wladimir Klitschko sind dabei ein Phänomen: zwei Ukrainer, die in Deutschland so beliebt sind wie keine anderen Boxer. Die Dokumentation „Klitschko“ von Sebastian Dehnhardt über […]
(weiter)Tribeca: „Semper Fi“ – one marine fights the system (the Department of Defense)
Jerry Ensminger is not your typical environmentalist. Nor does the patriotic ex-marine, who loves hunting, seem to be the kind of guy who fights for health insurance. But maybe it needs a stubborn person like him to fight the system – especially if the system is the Department of Defense. Rachel Libert and Tony Hardmon […]
(weiter)Tribeca: „The Journals of Musan“ – a North Korean tries to find a life in the south
Back then before the wall came down, West Germany helped each East German who managed to run away from the „socialist“ dictatorship with money. How much? I don’t even remember anymore, but I remember that in the last year of the GDR West Germans weren’t happy about how high the amount was. How does South […]
(weiter)Tribeca: Michael Collins‘ „Give Up Tomorrow“ about Paco Larrañaga and his grotesque trial
When Marijoy and Jacqueline Chiong went missing in the summer of 1997, a nightmare begun not just for their parents, but also for Paco Larrañaga. The 19-year-old clearly is innocent, but pretty soon finds himself accused of rape and murder. And if you think that he should be set free pretty soon – welcome to […]
(weiter)Tribeca: „The Roadie“ screwed up, he just doesn’t want to admit
After 26 years on the road with Blue Öyster Cult, Jimmy gets kicked out in the middle of nowhere. He must have screwed up pretty badly. Now the Roadie (which is also the title of Michael Cuesta’s new feature, premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival) has to get his life together – Jimmy hasn’t slept […]
(weiter)Tribeca: „The Trip“ – Michael Winterbottom’s comedy shows Britain’s culinary highlights (yes, they exist!)
Michael Winterbottom is easily one of the best – if not the best – directors in Britain in the last two decades. He won the Berlinale with „In This World“ and should have won a Golden Bear for „Road to Guantanamo“. Winterbottom is a regular in Berlin as well as the Tribeca Film Festival, where […]
(weiter)Tribeca: „L’Assaut“ – a grim, breathless action movie about a real terror attack
Christmas 1994: 4 Algerian extremists, members of the terror group GIA, hijack an Air France plane on its way from Algier to Paris. This attack has a similar meaning to France as the hijacking of the „Landshut“, the Lufthansa plane, in 1977 for Germany. It could have turned into an attack not unlike 9/11 seven […]
(weiter)Tribeca: „Sint“ – Dick Maas shows the real Santa Claus, a bloodthirsty bishop
So you still think that Santa Claus is a nice man who appears every year and gives children chocolate and other gifts? Oh – you actually believe he doesn’t exist at all? Well, think again. Dick Maas shows the real saint in „Sint“, a violent, brutal bishop who might take your kid away. „Sint“ will […]
(weiter)Tribeca Film Festival startet in New York mit Cameron Crowes Film über Elton John
Bereits jetzt dominiert „One World Trade Center“ New Yorks Downtown. In einigen Monaten soll das dunkel-funkelnde Gebäude am „Ground Zero“ das höchste Bauwerk Amerikas sein. Von hier sind es nur einige Minuten Fußweg bis zum Hauptquartier des Tribeca Film Festivals, untergebracht in einem alten Backsteingebäude. Doch so unterschiedlich die Architektur ist, so sehr sind Film […]
