Schwarze Schafe (2006)
Oh no!
I saw the movie yesterday in the cinema. I was surprised to find it was only for people 18 years and over. Hey look how independent we are! We show really weird and disgusting stuff (because this happens in Berlin all the time).
I wonder why so many people had a credit for the script. The small stories are all sooo exaggerated. No one has a real job in this film, how do they pay their bills? I guess there is no real message. It seemed to be a project to fill a boring summer.
Final hint: Do not watch it on a big screen in the cinema, the b/w digital quality sucks! Rather wait for the DVD and see if you can laugh about it.
Die Spur führt nach Berlin (1952)
A must for Berliners
I saw Die Spur führt nach Berlin last night, and it's really good. Especially people living in Berlin will have a lot of fun. For young folks like me it's interesting to see Berlin how it was 7 years after WW2, with all the ruins and the Tiergarten park without trees. For old folks it will be a journey back in time. Very amusing were the appearances of Hotte Buchholz and Günther Pfitzman, who later became big stars in Germany. The story deals with false money, old Nazis and the beginning of the cold war. We see the shadow of the war still hanging over Berlin, but the citizens start rebuilding their city. The film is shot in b/w on a technically high level, very American Style. A must for Berliners!
