CRISIS-PROOF CINEMA

Crisis? What Crisis? German movie ticket sales jumped 13.6% in 2009 for an 800 million Euro box office. German films accounted for a third of tickets sold,with hits VICKY THE VIKING and MEN IN THE CITY leading the way.

GUILT AND SIN

THE READER und THE WHITE RIBBON are two German films that were showered with awards at international festivals and made an impact on the international market. Both centre on the very German theme of guilt. In THE WHITE RIBBON,which just won the top prize at the European Film Awards,director Michael Haneke examines a strict protestant village in Germany,1913,to see how totalitarian structures are built up on the everyday authority of church,work and family.

In THE READER,the subject is repressing guilt and an impossible love between a schoolboy (David Kross) and a former concentration camp guard (Kate Winslet).

HEROINES OF FAITH

Two historic figures in the Catholic Church one the church made a saint,the other it denies ever existed: Hildegard von Bingen and Johanna von Ingelheim. Both reborn on the big screen in VISION THE LIFE OF HILDEGARD VON BINGEN and POPE JOAN.

ZWEIOHRKÜKEN The New Til-Schweiger-FilmGerman multi-talent Til Schweiger is back with the sequel to his smash romantic comedy RABBIT WITHOUT EARS. The new film,ZWEIOHRKÜKEN (TWO-EAR CHICK) kicks off where the first left off. The first glow of romance is gone and its back to the day-to-day. Schweiger,who wrote,produced,directed and stars in the film,alongside Nora Tschirner,mines this ordinary life for plenty of laughs. KINO sees if the sequel measures up.
