GAMES

I hate the fact Troika is (un)dead but before they died, they gave us the best game ever made! Ok, that’s kinda subjective but I can’t even find words to describe how much I love this game ^^, It has some serious bugs and was released way to early but the atmosphere, oh boy the atmosphere….

Vampire Bloodlines

Före Stormen is a film about Leo, a guy in the seventh grade gets harassed by a two years older boy in school and seeks revenge. At the same time, Ali, the father of a girl in Leo’s class (who Leo has a crush on) is contacted by a opposition group from his home country that wants Ali to assassinate an important man for them. Otherwise, they’ll kill the family that Ali left when moving to Sweden.

These two stories about morale are connected to each other in Reza Parsa’s remarkable debut. The direction is good, the acting is excellent - especially young Emil Odepark in the difficult role as Leo.

Please excuse the strange voice acting (spanish?) in the clip, I didn’t find the original movie .__.

Since ‘The Ketchup Effect‘ (original title: Hip Hip Hora!) features mostly girls and I havn’t seen it yet you’ll get just an IMDb-comment as descreption. I guess the video below shows one of the best scenes anyways… cum out, cum out…  ^^,

This is a Swedish film about three friends who are going to switch to 7th grade after their summer holiday. The friends are all girls and one of them is really looking forward to becoming an "adult" as she sees it. They are going to party and get boyfriends and all that comes with it. She tries to hit on this cool guy in the 9th grade and it results in her being invited to a party. During the party she hooks with a guy and becomes way too drunk, it all ends up in her collapsing on the floor and the 9th grade guys start taking pictures of her. The pictures spread through the school like a fire and she becomes a slut in the eyes of many students. The film is about the friends relationship with each other and how one changes during this period in life. The movie is somewhat predictable but its a nice ride all the way through!

Surreal. Das beschreibt wohl die Atmosphäre die dieser Film vermittelt relativ treffend. Eine ähnliche Stille und manchmal bedrückende Ruhe wie etwa bei Elephant zieht sich durch den Plot. Und genau wie bei Elephant wartet man auf den großen Knall, auf die Lösung und das beruhigende Ende. Und - wie bei Elephant - weiß man doch auch hier von Anfang an, dass es kein Happy End geben kann.

Movies like this are complicated. Just talking about a 12-year-old boy’s sexual identity, it’s complicated. It’s not ‘Well, he likes girls. He’s gonna sneak a Playboy out of his mom’s room. He’s gonna masturbate.’ There’s much more at work than that. If he got the Playboy from his dad there’s some other things at work. There are issues around what fatherhood means, around what manhood means, authority, and all those things get sucked into sexuality. They can’t help but not.  (Jeff Erbach, Regisseur von ‘The Nature of Nicholas’)

Nächste Woche kommt ein Film in die Kinos, der uns ein Duo beschert, an das sich viele sicher noch aus Crazy erinnern werden: Robert Stadlober und Tom Schilling. Worum es in Schwarze Schafe geht, kann der Autor dahinter natürlich viel trefflicher in Worte fassen als ich:

Seit wir in Berlin leben, hatten wir den Wunsch, einen kleinen, punkigen Episodenfilm zu drehen, der sich über den schmierigen, sumpfigen Geist dieser Stadt mal so richtig gemein und voller Zuneigung lustig macht. Denn Berlin hat wenig Ähnlichkeit mit der Härte und Coolness von London, der glamourösen Aufschneiderei von New York und schon gar nicht mit der musealen Arroganz von Paris. Was ist das für eine Grosstadt, die einst auf Sand und aus Sümpfen erwuchs, die nun konstant pleite ist, die wohl nie so richtig zu Ende gebaut werden kann, die vor allem durch ihre vielen Unorte sich als Ort definiert und wo man sich Mittwoch Nachmittags um Drei mit vielen anderen überbeschäftigten Menschen im Café zum Kater-Frühstück trifft? Hier, wo niemand so richtig Geld hat, dennoch jede Nacht in Kneipen Bier kippt, spaßige antikapitalistische Diskurse pflegt und dem Amerikanismus abschwört. Hier, wo es eher befremdend als sexy ist, wenn man Karriere macht und es irgendwie peinlich wirkt, wenn man versucht, ein klein wenig ehrgeizig und erfolgreich zu sein.

Ich bin auf jeden Fall gespannt, wie das FSK18-Rating zu Stande kam…
