  • Ungeduld des Herzens

    Ungeduld des Herzens

    A film by Lauro Cress. In German with English subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    What beg­ins as a ges­tu­re of com­pas­si­on beco­mes a dan­ge­rous tempt­a­ti­on to feel like a savi­or. In Ungeduld des Herzens (Impatience of the Heart), direc­tor Lauro Cress trans­po­ses Stefan Zweig’s tim­e­l­ess sto­ry of com­pas­si­on and moral over­load into the pre­sent day – an inten­se psy­cho­lo­gi­cal dra­ma about the lon­ging for clo­sen­ess, the limits of empa­thy, and the impos­si­bi­li­ty of living for others. Winner of the Max Ophüls Prize 2025 (Best Feature Film, Best Young Actor), the film is an out­stan­ding exam­p­le of new German auteur cine­ma – powerful, tou­ch­ing, and with gre­at emo­tio­nal clarity.

    A bow­ling night, a misunderstanding—and a moment that chan­ges two lives. Young sol­dier Isaac wants to impress his sis­ter when he asks the grum­py Edith to play. Only when she slumps to the flo­or does he noti­ce the wheel­chair bes­i­de her. Driven by shame, Isaac seeks out the woman he has hurt. An unu­su­al rela­ti­onship deve­lo­ps bet­ween the two – full of com­pas­si­on, hope and gro­wing depen­dence. But the more Isaac tri­es to “heal” Edith, the deeper they both beco­me ent­an­gled in a web of guilt, self-decep­ti­on and longing.

    With impres­si­ve images and gre­at emo­tio­nal pre­cis­i­on, Ungeduld des Herzens tells of the dan­ge­rous line bet­ween love and pity – and how easi­ly help can turn into paternalism.

    Freely adapt­ed from the novel by Stefan Zweig.

  • Father Mother Sister Brother

    Father Mother Sister Brother

    A film by Jim Jarmusch. Starts February 26th at the fsk. Preview on January 1st.
    In English with German subtitles. 

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    Father Mother Sister Brother is a fea­ture film, though careful­ly con­s­truc­ted in the form of a tri­ptych. The three sto­ries all con­cern the rela­ti­onships bet­ween adult child­ren, their some­what distant parent (or par­ents) and each other. Each of the three chap­ters takes place in the pre­sent, and each in a dif­fe­rent coun­try.
    Father is set in the north-east US, Mother in Dublin, Ireland, and Sister Brother in Paris, France. The film is a series of cha­rac­ter stu­dies: quiet, obser­va­tio­nal and non-jud­ge­men­tal — a come­dy, but inter­wo­ven with threads of melancholy.
