Cinematic scope for a great novel The Buddenbrooks a large-scale screen adaptation!

The year in German cinema a look back

BUDDENBROOKS Filming of a Classic

After filming the family history of Noble prize-winning author Thomas Mann as a television docudrama, Heinrich Breloer has taken the next logical step and filmed Manns most famous novel: BUDDENBROOKS. Its a grand costume film about the rise and fall of a German merchant family. Breloer has pulled out all the stops in the casting. Armin Mueller-Stahl plays the family patriarch, Iris Berben his wife, Jessica Schwarz his daughter Tony. Even the minor roles boast some of the best acting talent Germany has to offer. BUDDENBROOKS is more than a period film. In one familys struggle to survive at the end of the 19th century, Breloer sees strong parallels to the present day. KINO on a great German family saga.

German Cinema 2008 A Look Back at a Successful Year at the Movies

2008 was another big year for German cinema both at home and internationally. Eight films sold more than a million tickets in Germany, led by Til Schweigers comedy RABBIT WITHOUT EARS with an astounding 6.3 million tickets more than any other film this year. German films spanned the spectrum from comedy to social and historic drama, from childrens films to fantasy. KINO looks at the best of 2008.

A Very Different Look at the Middle Ages Til Schweigers Dark Age Comedy

He knows how to entertain an audience and right in time for Christmas, multi-talent Til Schweiger is back with a new film with a somewhat clunky title: 1½ KNIGHTS IN SEARCH OF THE RAVISHING PRINCESS HERZELINDE. As with his last film, the box office hit RABBIT WITHOUT EARS. And, again, he surrounds himself with some of the best German talent around. KINO takes a sneak peak at this crazy knights-and-ladies comedy for the whole family.
