    Am I OK?

    A film by Stephanie Allynne & Tig Notaro. In English.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    Lucy is a 32-year-old woman living in Los Angeles with her best fri­end Jane and working as a recep­tio­nist at a spa. She finds litt­le satis­fac­tion in her roman­tic life, inclu­ding with her fri­end Ben, who beco­mes frus­tra­ted at her con­tin­ued avo­id­ance of his advan­ces. Jane recei­ves a work pro­mo­ti­on that will requi­re her to relo­ca­te to London, and goes out for drinks with Lucy and Jane’s boy­fri­end Danny to cele­bra­te. After Jane con­fes­ses to kis­sing a fema­le fri­end as a teen­ager, Lucy drun­ken­ly tells her that she thinks she might be a les­bi­an. Jane encou­ra­ges her to explo­re her fee­lings, sug­gest­ing that Lucy should pur­sue her flir­ta­tious mas­sa­ge the­ra­pist co-worker Brittany.

    Lucy invi­tes Brittany to her house for din­ner, but recei­ves mixed signals as Brittany shares about her ex-boy­fri­end, but also decla­res her sexua­li­ty to be „on the spec­trum” and kis­ses her befo­re lea­ving. Jane brings Lucy to a les­bi­an bar, but Lucy is shy and soon lea­ves after see­ing Jane kis­sing other women on the dance flo­or; the two fight and stop spea­king. Lucy meets up with Brittany again. The two have sex, but Brittany quick­ly lea­ves the fol­lo­wing mor­ning and beco­mes distant, later recon­ci­ling with her ex-boy­fri­end. Meanwhile, Jane deals with the pres­su­res of her upco­ming move, inclu­ding her self-absor­bed co-worker Kat and Danny’s con­fes­si­on that he does not want to join Jane in London as she assu­med he would.

    Lucy quits her job to return to her pas­si­on of pain­ting, and beg­ins mee­ting other women on dating apps. She comes out to Ben, and the two recon­ci­le as fri­ends. After going on a „ham­mock retre­at” with Kat, Jane makes up with Lucy, exci­ted­ly offe­ring sup­port for the chan­ges in her life. Lucy offers to dri­ve Jane to the air­port as she heads to London, only to reve­al that she will be joi­ning her on the trip to help ease her transition.

    Sorry, this ent­ry is only available in Deutsch.

    Kobieta na dachu / Woman On The Roof

    [Tickets]

    PL/FRA/CH 2022
    R/B: Anna Jadowska
    97 min, OmeU
    K: Ita Zbroniec-Zajt
    S: Piotr Kmiecik & Julia Gregory
    M: Katharina Nuttall
    D: Dorota Pomykała, Bogdan Koca, Adam Bobik u. a.

    Zwei Jahre Arbeit in der Geburtsstation hat die Ärztin Mira noch vor sich, dann ist die ersehn­te Rente erreicht. Ihr Gehalt ist zwar nicht üppig, reicht aber für die klei­ne Block-Wohnung in der Provinzstadt und die drei­köp­fi­ge Familie – theo­re­tisch, denn heim­lich hat sie ihrer Schwester viel Geld geborgt, Kredite auf­ge­nom­men und kommt nun mit der Tilgung nicht mehr hin­ter­her. Als die Lage aus­sichts­los wird, reagiert sie so ver­zwei­felt wie unge­schickt: Sie ver­sucht eine Bank zu über­fal­len, was gründ­lich schief geht. Aber anstatt sich ihren Verwandten anzu­ver­trau­en, frisst sie den Kummer in sich hin­ein, bis sie auf dem titel­ge­ben­den Dach steht und vor sich nur noch den Abgrund sieht.

    Wie schon in ihrem Drama „Dzikie róże / Wild Roses“ (2017) gelingt es Jadowska vir­tu­os, weit ab von markt­schreie­ri­schen Effekten mit klei­nen Schritten ein Psycho-Porträt zu ent­wer­fen, in dem das Verschwiegene schwe­rer wiegt als das Gesagte. Ihr größ­ter Trumpf ist dabei Dorota Pomykała, die als ver­zwei­fel­te Anti-Heldin sowohl das Kinopublikum als auch Festival-Jurys über­zeu­gen konn­te. In einem sehr brei­ten Bildformat mit hell und kühl aus­ge­leuch­te­ten Szenen beherrscht sie ohne musi­ka­li­sche Unterstützung sou­ve­rän die Leinwand. [Rainer Mende]

    Anna Jadowska (geb. 1973 in Oleśnica) stu­dier­te Polonistik in Wrocław und Regie in Łódź. Als Regisseurin arbei­te­te sie für popu­lä­re TV-Serien wie „M jak miłość“ oder „Na dob­re i na złe“. Als Autorenfilmerin dreh­te sie Dokumentar- und Spielfilme, wobei sie das mit zahl­rei­chen Preisen (u. a. beim FilmFestival Cottbus) aus­ge­zeich­ne­te Drama „Dzikie róże / Wild Roses“ (2017) inter­na­tio­nal bekannt machte.
