Berlins Beste 2012: Anspruchvollstes Kino
Richtiges, pures Arthouse – für Mainstream-Mätzchen ist im Kreuzberger fsk am Oranienplatz kein Platz. Das Namenskürzel steht übri­gens für Flugzeugsesselkino, die ers­te Bestuhlung stamm­te von aus­ge­mus­ter­ten Lufthansa-Maschinen. Wer also ech­te Entdeckungen machen möch­te, ist hier rich­tig, mit Filmen aus aller Welt, meist in der Originalfassung mit Untertiteln. Und die dür­fen ger­ne mal ele­gisch oder sper­rig sein, damit genug Raum für die Assoziationen des Zuschauers bleibt. (MS)

Die drei bes­ten Berliner Kinos sind …?
Das FSK am Oranienplatz. Da gehe ich zu Fuß hin und schaue an, was gera­de läuft. Das ist das Gegenteil von DVD. Ich tref­fe kei­ne Kaufentscheidung, ich ent­de­cke etwas. (…)
(Christian Petzold im Tagesspiegel Interview 2014)

The Taiwanese film­ma­ker Edward Yang shows in his film Yi Yi – A One and a Two the life of a fami­ly in modern Taipei. NJ is a man in his mid-for­ties. He is mar­ried, a father of two child­ren and suc­cessful in his job – still he is no lon­ger hap­py with hims­elf and with his life.

While NJ starts seing his old fla­me again his mother-in-law is in a coma. It is NJ’s eight year old son who gui­des us through ever­y­day life of the fami­ly and who asks cri­ti­cal ques­ti­ons and sur­pri­ses the spec­ta­tors with his expe­ri­ments in the water. The older sis­ter has her first expe­ri­en­ces with love and lear­ns that one can not force felicity.

Palliativstation

A film by Philipp Döring. 

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

“It’s not about giving life more days, it’s about giving days more life” is one of the ide­as for­mu­la­ted by Cicely Saunders, the foun­der of pal­lia­ti­ve care. It fli­ckers up during a pre­sen­ta­ti­on in Philipp Döring’s four-hour insti­tu­tio­nal obser­va­ti­on while a carer ins­tructs a new staff mem­ber. They are at the Franziskus hos­pi­tal in Berlin. Döring docu­ments a few months here bet­ween the start of the year and sum­mer, accom­pany­ing doc­tors on their rounds and in con­sul­ta­ti­ons with rela­ti­ves and lis­tening in on the team’s inter­nal exch­an­ges, which don’t shy away from men­tio­ning short­co­mings. A safe space is crea­ted that fol­lows its own rules, in which dia­lo­gues about life paths are taken up and reflec­ted upon, pro­gress is cele­bra­ted and approa­ching fare­wells ent­rus­ted to the neces­sa­ry peo­p­le. Palliativstation is thus also a film about lan­guage, which shifts bet­ween medi­cal jar­gon and dif­fe­rent dialects and is some­ti­mes only able to be pro­du­ced with tech­ni­cal help. Döring gets very clo­se to death, but with it also to life. His film is weigh­ty, impres­si­ve and yet never beco­mes crus­hing under the bur­den of fate. One thing quick­ly beco­mes clear: life only ends with the final heartbeat.

But soon, she starts to long for a place in Paolo’s life. With no money nor plans, she stays on in the small town. As they spend more time tog­e­ther, Leo and Paolo ten­ta­tively begin to bond and dis­co­ver they have much in com­mon. But rea­li­ty ine­vi­ta­b­ly cat­ches up with them.

Sentimental Value

A film by Joachim Trier. In Norwegian with German subtitles.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

Winner of the Grand Prix at this year’s Cannes Festival, the spraw­ling inter­ge­ne­ra­tio­nal dra­ma AFFEKSJONSVERDI sees wri­ter-direc­tor Joachim Trier team­ing up once more with Renate Reinsve, the brea­kout star of his cele­bra­ted exis­ten­ti­al rom-com VERDENS VERSTE MENNESKE (2021). Reinsve plays Nora, a gifted stage and tele­vi­si­on actress we first see having an uproa­rious back­stage break­down befo­re her ope­ning night per­for­mance of Chekhov’s The Seagull. When her estran­ged father, Gustav (Stellan Skarsgård), reap­pears, he offers her a part in film he’s writ­ten about his mother, who was tor­tu­red by Nazis and died by sui­ci­de. Nora refu­ses, lea­ding Gustav to cast a Hollywood actress (Elle Fanning) in her stead. By tur­ning their Oslo fami­ly home into his own film set, Gustav upen­ds not just Nora’s life but that of her more well-adjus­ted sis­ter (Inga Lilleaas), a for­mer child actor who star­red in one of Gustav’s ear­ly films. Brimming with fami­li­al resent­ments and artis­tic anxie­ties yet distin­gu­is­hed by an awk­ward, under­sta­ted sen­se of humour, AFFEKSJONSVERDI is an absor­bing ensem­ble pie­ce about explo­ita­ti­on, memo­ry and legacy—and the power of artis­tic crea­ti­on to both heal past wounds and defer hard truths. (Beatrice Loayza)
