    Ende der 20er-Jahre: Für den Literaten Bernhard Fuhrmann (Julian Sands), seine Frau Rachel (Anna Galiena) und deren Kinder verläuft der Sommerurlaub im pittoresken Torre di Venere alles andere als angenehm. Die Show des Hypnotiseurs Cipolla (Klaus Maria Brandauer) endet in einer Tragödie…Brandauer enttäuscht mit seiner Adaption: Er ignorierte wichtige Passagen und änderte den Schluss.

  • A Comédia de Deus / God's Comedy. 1995.
     PT. A Comédia de Deus é um filme português de 1995, realizado por João César Monteiro, a segunda longa-metragem da trilogia que o retrata como alter-ego na figura de João de Deus, sendo a primeira delas Recordações da Casa Amarela e a terceira As Bodas de Deus.
    A trilogia explora, com repetidas referências autobiográficas, num estilo sarcástico, com humor mal humorado, a personagem de Deus, o protagonista, encarnado num bem humano pobre diabo. O resultado pretendido é traçar uma caricatura de alguém menos virtuoso que vicioso, autor e actor de inqualificáveis comédias num mundo hipócrita, com abundantes referências literárias, artísticas e filosóficas.
    Perseguido pelas recordações, «Saído do manicómio, João de Deus prosperou, tornando-se responsável pelo Paraíso do Gelado e inventando mesmo a especialidade da loja. Passa o tempo livre em casa, solitário, com uma colecção de pelos do púbis feminino, que ciosamente guarda num Livro de Pensamentos. A dona do Paraíso, Judite, ambiciona alargar o negócio a uma congénere francesa, contando com uma delícia do protegido, para convencer o virtual sócio parisiense. Mas as coisas correm mal, enquanto o próprio comportamento de Deus começa a deteriorar-se com uma mal sã insanidade. A causa mais próxima é Joaninha, a filha do severo talhante do bairro».
    Em suma, o esforçado João consegue um dia levar lá à casa a linda Joaninha de olhos verdes. Convence-a a tomar um delicioso banho de leite de vaca, porque de burra não há. E dá-lhe tantas guloseimas que a pobre menina tem de ir a correr para a retrete. Tocada pelo desvelo, solicita, ela pergunta então: «Quer que lhe guarde a caquinha?». O João, apreciador de bons perfumes, mas sempre na medida certa, desabafa: «Não, tudo o que é demais cheira mal». Vai-se a rapariga embora. Aproveita ele para coar o leite do banho e meter os púberes pentelhos deixados pela deleitosa donzela no seu Livro Sagrado.
    Porém, o paterno carniceiro, homem musculado, ao topar a marosca, não perdoa o atrevimento e quase deixa o perverso em estado de coma, todo embrulhado em ligaduras. Livra-se o infeliz da morte, mas não de ser posto no olho da rua pela dona do Paraíso. Sai-lhe caro o pecado.
    EN. João de Deus is the manager of an ice-cream shop owned by an ex-prostitute, Paraíso dos Gelados (Ice-Cream Paradise). Through a unmoved desire of perfection, he seeks, through cleansing and purity to attain heaven. The surrounding world, however, does not comply with his decaying vision of lust and decay as a way of achieving his purpose.
    Director: João César Monteiro.
    Cast: Cláudia Teixeira, João César Monteiro, Manuela de Freitas, Raquel Ascensão, Gracinda Nave, Patrícia Abreu, Saraiva Serrano, Maria João Ribeiro, Maria Ester Caldeira.

Sur une année, qu'est-ce qui bouge, vit, se transforme et émerge, parmi les futurs élus, encore adolescents ? Cette série traversera un cycle de scolarité, entre vie quotidienne et spectacle, pour nous plonger dans la ruche d'un apprentissage très spécial, avec le Palais Garnier de Paris comme terre promise.
    EN. The 300-year old Paris Opera Ballet School is today a mythical place with an international reputation. In September 2011, it was home to 130 pupils, aged from 8 to 18, all driven by the same desire – to dance one day at the Paris Opera.
    Our camera was allowed to accompany them for a whole school year. The characters are: the younger students, who are amazingly determined for their age; the older students, who, at the age of 16, are already professional dancers; their teachers, who are often principal dancers; and all those who watch over this very singular world.

  • Angela's Ashes. 1999. HD.
     Angela's Ashes is a 1999 drama film based on the memoir of the same name by Frank McCourt. An international co-production between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Ireland, it was co-written and directed by Alan Parker, and stars Emily Watson, Robert Carlyle, Joe Breen, Ciaran Owens, and Michael Legge, the latter three playing the Young, Middle and Older Frank McCourt respectively.
    Based on the best selling autobiography by Irish expat Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes follows the experiences of young Frankie and his family as they try against all odds to escape the poverty endemic in the slums of pre-war Limerick. The film opens with the family in Brooklyn, but following the death of one of Frankie's siblings, they return home, only to find the situation there even worse. Prejudice against Frankie's Northern Irish father makes his search for employment in the Republic difficult despite his having fought for the IRA, and when he does find money, he spends the money on drink.

    Laura, 14 ans, et Joséphine, 18 ans, partent en juillet avec leur mère dans le Sud, puis en août chez leur père en Bretagne.
    La cohabitation entre ados et adultes ne manque ni de tendresse, souvent non-dite, ni d’exaspération, parfois bruyante…
    Car les filles ont leurs secrets, qui n’ont pas grand-chose à envier aux problèmes de leurs parents et de leurs beaux-parents.
    C’est l’été de tous les dangers? Pas tout à fait. Quoique.

  • 0130.jpgJhalki / 150 Million Magical Sparrows. 2019. HD. 
    Jhalki (transl. Glimpse) is a 2019 Indian Hindi-language drama film directed by Brahmanand S. Siingh, produced by Brahmanand S. Siingh (Mobius Films) and Annand Chavan, co-produced by Vinayak Gawande and Jayesh Parekh and co-directed by Tanvi Jain. The film featuring Boman Irani, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Divya Dutta and Sanjay Suri, follows a 9-year-old street girl Jhalki, setting out to find her 7-year-old brother against the backdrop of the child slavery trade. The trailer of the film was released at the Cannes Film Festival[13] in May 2019.
    The film has been premiered at various national and international film festivals and won 13 awards so far. It was released theatrically in India on 14 November 2019.
    A life-altering disappearance of her 7-year old brother sets Jhalki off on a mission to find him at all costs. Armed with an intimate folk-tale and her own sharp mind, is Jhalki's journey the start of a spiral that will change the lives of thousands for good? What price must she pay to get what she wants? Inspired by true events, with a backdrop of human-trafficking and child-labour, Jhalki becomes an atypical thriller of hope, courage, self-belief and perseverance, seen through the eyes of a 9-year-old girl, who will not stop anywhere short of a triumph.
    Directors: Brahmanand S. Singh, Tanvi Jain.

  • Per grazia ricevuta / Between Miracles. 1971. DVD.
     IT. La narrazione, con continue analessi si intreccia con i primi anni di vita di Benedetto, ragazzino vivace e sfrontato che vive in un paesino agricolo della Ciociaria. Benedetto è orfano: di lui si occupa soltanto una zia nubile e libertina, che lo rimprovera continuamente delle sue monellerie, lo riempie di scrupoli religiosi e medita di sbarazzarsene affidandolo a un orfanotrofio. Di notte il ragazzo non riesce a dormire perché ha paura di certi rumori; la zia gli dice che sono rimorsi per le sue cattiverie, invece li causa lei stessa ricevendo uomini. Anche gli amici di Benedetto sono pervasi dagli scrupoli, temono di essere in peccato mortale per aver guardato, nascosti nei campi, sotto le gonne delle contadine intente alla raccolta. Per questo, mentre si appresta a ricevere la prima comunione, Benedetto vive l'avvenimento in un clima di religiosità esasperata. Nella preparazione al sacramento, il curato don Quirino distribuisce ai bambini le effigi degli "amici celesti", i santi che dovrebbero assisterli finché riceveranno Gesù. A Benedetto tocca sant'Eusebio, martirizzato sul rogo.
    EN. Benedetto is a child who came out of an accident uninjured on his first communion's day. The people of his village attribute that to a miracle and made him undergo a strict religious upbringing.

  • Die Jahre vergehen. 1980. 2 episodes.
     Die Jahre vergehen ist ein österreichisch-deutscher Fernsehfilm von Peter Keglevic. Der Zweiteiler wurde am 29. Juni und 6. Juli 1981 im ZDF uraufgeführt.
    Teil 1. Gregor Nadolny ist 30 Jahre alt und Touristikmanager. Er war mit seiner zehn Jahre alten Tochter Anna in Italien und sie befinden sich beide auf der Rückfahrt. Seine Tochter hat Fieber. Trotzdem will er nicht nach Hamburg, seinem Wohn- und Arbeitsort, sondern nach Pfauen. Dort hat er vor 20 Jahren einen glücklichen Sommer bei seinen Stiefgroßeltern verbracht und möchte seine alte Liebe wiedersehen.
    Teil 2. Gregor Nodolny trifft in Pfauen Bekannte aus Kindertagen wieder, wobei „ wirklich wichtig … die Begegnungen mit den beiden Kinderfreunden von damals“ sind: So seine alte Liebe Ada, und den Jungen Ila.
    Georg, Ada und Ila unternahmen als Kinder in Pfauen viele Dinge miteinander: So tanzten sie miteinander. Dann saßen sie unter einem gedeckten Tisch und tranken ein „Maß“. Als Ila auf dem Feld eine weiße Flagge vor sich her trug, liefen Ada und Georg ihm hinterher oder beteten kniend miteinander in der Kirche.
    Zwischen Georg und Ada entwickelte sich eine Zuneigung. Die beiden waren viel in der Natur. Sie halfen bei der Feldarbeit, wo beide einen Korb mit einer Mahlzeit für die Feldarbeiter auf das Feld brachten. Später wurden sie vom Regen überrascht und suchten gemeinsam Schutz „unter einer Decke“ Sie gingen in eine Scheune. Ein Bild zeigt beide im Stroh liegend, sich umarmend, während Gregor sich über Ada beugt. Die Kinder „sind verwirrt von ihren Gefühlen“. Am Ende stehen beide in Anzug und weißem Kleid nebeneinander. Georg verliebte sich in Ada und wollte sie heiraten. Später jedoch heiratet er eine andere Frau, vergleicht seine Ehefrau jedoch mit seiner Kinderliebe, die er nach zwanzig Jahren wiedertrifft.

    4. I Remember Ashes. 2019. HD.
    Set sometime in the late 1960s, “I Remember Ashes” is the story of a young brother named Oliver and his older sister Sally who spend their summer days at their special hangout spot in the hills of the Czech Republic. Their relationship and personal ideals are tested when the two of them are forced to remedy a morbid situation. The film acts as a distant memory, an upended fairytale exploring both children’s introduction to mortality.
    “The surreal state of childhood perception is evoked in this beautifully captured 35mm portrait of a mischievous duo running amok in the Czech countryside.”

  • Du und icke und Berlin. 1978.
     Du und icke und Berlin ist ein deutscher Fernsehfilm von Eberhard Schäfer aus dem Jahr 1977.
    Der heitere Fernsehfilm von 1977 bot den Zuschauern ein Wiedersehen mit beliebten Darstellern in einer Geschichte über zwei Freunde, die durch den Einfluss der Liebe in einige Verwirrungen geraten, an deren Ende aber die wahre Liebe den rechten Weg weist. Schauplatz des ganzen war Berlin, die Hauptstadt der DDR, deren Straßen und Plätze, Häuser und Wohnungen.
    Und mitten drin in diesem Milieu lebt Ulrike Busch (Susanne Linser), ein zehnjähriges Mädchen, dass mit Energie und Zielstrebigkeit nach einem neuen Vater sucht. Als Ulrike zusammen mit ihrem Schulfreund den aus Mühlhausen stammenden Bauarbeiter Dieter Körber (Jürgen Heinrich) kennen lernt, ist sie überzeugt, dass dieser ihr neuer Vater sein könnte. Nun gilt es, Ulrikes Mutter (Micaëla Kreißler) mit sanfter Hand zu ihrem neuen Glück zu führen. Dass dabei auch der sympathische Großvater Karl (Gerhard Bienert) mit einbezogen wird, darf an dieser Stelle nicht unerwähnt bleiben.
    Diese TV-Produktion galt in der Zeit ihres Entstehens als gelungenes Werk, vom realen Sozialismus zu berichten, von der Geborgenheit und Zukunftsgewissheit der Menschen in der DDR, und sie war zudem der wiederholte Versuch, der Hauptstadt Berlin eine Liebeserklärung zu offerieren.
    Director: Eberhard Schäfer.
    Cast: Jürgen Heinrich, Susanne Linser, Micaela Kreißler, Gerhard Bienert, Ursula Braun, Rolf Herricht, Elvira Schuster, Jürgen Zartmann, Evelyn Opoczynski, Ingeborg Krabbe, Werner Senftleben, Klaus Bamberg.

  • Ronja Rövardotter / Ronja Robbersdaughter. 1984. HD.
     Ronia, the Robber's Daughter (in the UK, Ronja Rövardotter in Sweden, Ronja Robbersdaughter in the USA) is a Swedish fantasy film which was released to cinemas in Sweden on 14 December 1984, directed by Tage Danielsson, based on the 1981 novel of the same title by Astrid Lindgren, and adapted for the screen by Lindgren herself.
    When the film was broadcast on television two years after its cinema premiere, the film was twenty minutes longer and uncensored (the cinema release allowed viewing from 7 years and older). This spurred a debate where critics asked if film was more harmful in cinemas than on television. The film was selected as the Swedish entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 58th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.
    Borka and his band and Mattis's band of robbers are rivals. Birk, his parents and their band live in the wild in Mattisforrest. They move in to Metis-stronghold, which belonged to his ancestors, in an attempt to escape being caught by the king's men. The children have to learn to live in the woods.
    Director: Tage Danielsson.
    Writer: Astrid Lindgren.

    Cast: Hanna Zetterberg, Dan Håfström, Börje Ahlstedt, Lena Nyman, Per Oscarsson, Med Reventberg, Allan Edwall, Ulf Isenborg, Henry Ottenby, Björn Wallde, Tommy Körberg, Rune Andersson, Rolf Dahlgren, Bo Bergstrand.

  • The Devil's Playground. 1976.
     The Devil's Playground is a 1976 Australian drama film written, produced and directed by Fred Schepisi. It is a semi-autobiographical film which tells the story of a boy growing up and going to school in a Catholic juniorate administered by De La Salle Brothers. Its focus is on the trials of the flesh and the tensions that arise, for both Brothers and students, from the religious injunction to control one's sexuality.
    Fred Schepisi's film, 'The Devil's Playground' is an intimate portrait of Tom, a thirteen-year-old struggling in spirit and body with the constraints of living in a Catholic seminary. It is also the story of the Brothers and how they cope with the demands of their faith.
    Director: Fred Schepisi.
    Cast: Charles McCallum, John Frawley, Arthur Dignam, Nick Tate, Peter Cox, Jonathan Hardy, Gerry Duggan, Thomas Keneally, Sheila Florance, Simon Burke, John Diedrich.
