In their children, parents often see reflections of the kids they once were. But daughters can’t access those same memories without a little magic. And that’s just what Petite Maman delivers: the spell that makes such a reunion possible, if only in our imaginations.

It’s truly a wild, blazing ride if you get on the movie’s bruising, mesmeric wavelength, a tragic but deeply moral film about a righteous, transactional man who has truly weighed and considered the cost of the wicked transgressions committed against his country, his fellow man, and his own soul.

This event was first hold on the 4th of March 2022 | »The Batman« scored 6,071 Genusspunkte |@ Filmpalast
Seit zwei Jahren schon durchstreift Bruce Wayne als Batman die dunklen Straßen von Gotham City und versetzt die Kriminellen der Stadt in Angst und Schrecken. Mit Alfred Pennyworth und Lieutenant James Gordon als einzigem Vertrauten inmitten eines korrupten Netzwerks von Beamten und hochrangigen Persönlichkeiten hat sich der einsame Rächer unter seinen Mitbürgern als alleinige Instanz der Vergeltung etabliert. Als ein Killer die Elite Gothams mit einer Reihe sadistischer Anschläge ins Visier nimmt, führt eine Spur kryptischer Hinweise den besten Detektiv der Welt tief in den Untergrund, wo er auf Figuren wie Selina Kyle alias Catwoman, Oswald Cobblepot alias Pinguin, Carmine Falcone und Edward Nashton alias Riddler trifft.

Hypnotic and heartbreaking, “Identifying Features” is a feature debut to marvel at, but only once you’re able to shake off the bone-deep chills emanating from Mexican filmmaker Fernanda Valadez’s disorienting tale of a mother’s search for her missing son. Equal parts odyssey, investigation and descent, this eerily shattering dispatch from the heart of a grief-beset country — a double winner at Sundance last year that’s been racking up festival awards ever since — has the power to expand our notions of what a border story is.

With this documentary, Andrea Arnold has created a kind of agribusiness pastoral about the daily life of cows on a working dairy farm. Her camera simply gets up close and personal with cows as they moo and trot around and give birth and stare with mysterious placidity into the camera – sometimes thumping up against her sound mic with an almighty bang.
[…] [There] is something very heartfelt and committed about Andrea Arnold’s film: a poignancy and intimacy.

A gorgeous, fantastically sinister moral fable about the cruel predictability of human nature and the way entire systems — from carnies and con men to shrinks and Sunday preachers — are engineered to exploit it.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s holyfuckingshitIlovemovies-great “Licorice Pizza” is undeniably a coming-of-age movie — his first clear-cut contribution to a genre defined by the kind of pathological self-invention and animalistic need for acceptance that have also fueled each of his eight previous features — but it’s not really about growing up. For one thing, both of its leads have already grown up (or at least aggressively sideways) to a certain extent, and just need someone to recognize the people they’ve become in the process. For another, there’s always been a terminally childish quality to even Anderson’s oldest characters.

This impressive, unflinching debut from Ninja Thyberg eschews the victim narrative which tends to shadow stories focussing on women in the porn industry, instead following Bella’s cool-headed navigation of this treacherous and frequently exploitative world.

Provocative Italian feature Bad Tales is one of those films that aren’t afraid to confront you with the grimmest aspects of the human condition, but yet leave you feeling strangely exalted by the sheer cinematic invention involved.

This event was hold on the 8th of January 2022 | »Lamb« scored 6,6 Genusspunkte | @ Scala
This intimate, four-character film has its own quiet rhythms, compatible with yet distinct from any perceived A24 house style. It’s a hybrid of unnerving, dread-based horror and genuine domestic drama. Are they naturally so different, anyway?
