James Benning’s first film called The United States of America was a 1975 trip across the country, capturing its scenery through a car windshield. This second one also crisscrosses the nation, but without a car, carving it up instead into a series of static shots of just under two minutes, one for each state, presented alphabetically, from Heron Bay, Alabama to Kelly, Wyoming. The names of the places are nondescript, but the images attached to them are anything but, immaculately composed shots of landscape, cityscape and the spaces in between. As we move from A to Z, the images coalesce into a portrait of today’s USA, tracing out its fault lines almost in passing: fenced-off facilities, a river bed running dry, factories and refineries, run-down streets and gas stations, a camp under a bridge. The past is there too, seeping up through the songs and speeches that sporadically pierce the background noise or the motifs that evoke a whole career; the clouds, trains and cabins are stand-ins for films, not just states. As always, there’s time for more abstract thoughts too: each image may stand for a state, but representativity is slippery. Which state is more cinematic than the rest?

Julie is almost 30 and has no idea what kind of life she wants to lead. Overwhelmed by all the possibilities, she keeps changing her mind. She drops out of medical school to try her hand at psychology – or maybe photography. Her confident 44-year-old boyfriend, Aksel, a long-established comic book author, has always wanted them to have a child together, but Julie just isn’t ready. When she meets the young and energetic Eivind at a party one day, her life faces another turning point. Director Joachim Trier presents a zeitgeist comedy about the Millennial generation and the difficulty of making small and big decisions. A bittersweet film that conjures up both exhilarating and melancholic moments of truth on the big screen.

Anna is 60 and her acting heyday is now behind her. She lives on her own but has a friend and confidant in her downstairs neighbour Michel, who is also single. Reluctantly, Anna accepts a job as a language coach for 17-year-old Adrian who has a speech impediment and is something of a misfit. She recognises him as the boy who recently snatched her handbag in the street … “Irresistible” is the term that springs to mind when describing this light-footed and humorous story of an impossible love affair between a thief and a lady. Director Nicolette Krebitz handles the fragile balance between the dictates of society and the heart with great care. The fresh breath of freedom blows through a narrative that makes room for a nod to old West Berlin, some gentle teasing of Germany’s French neighbours, and even a ghost that is chased away to make way for new possibilities. But most of all, A E I O U is a passionate love letter to Sophie Rois and, perhaps through her, all the brilliant actors neglected by an industry all too fond of young blood. Well, it turns out that these young players, embodied here by newcomer Milan Herms, not only look up to their more experienced peers, they truly love them.

To get through his one-week probationary contract, a young Moroccan plumber must deal with equally eccentric colleagues and customers. Valero, his superior, doubts Moha has what it takes, or that customers will accept a Moroccan worker. Maybe six days is not enough time for someone to overcome their prejudices. But it might be enough to discover that we must live together.
My father is a plumber. I have heard all kinds of weird stories about his job. Over the years, I have been struck by the prejudices and complexities these daily-life situations revealed.

SECHSTAGEUNTERSTROM – UNTERWEGSINBARCELONA – Trailer OmU German | Deutsch
A biography set in East and West Berlin about the life of a defiant woman who unites the political and the private in the poetry of her song lyrics. Bettina Wegner is often reduced to just one of her many songs, “Sind so kleine Hände” (“Children”) and her collaboration with Joan Baez. But here in Lutz Pehnert’s portrait she is given the space she deserves. Taken to court at the age of 21 for protesting against the violent end of the Prague Spring, she soon became part of the lively music and literature scene around Thomas Brasch and her husband Klaus Schlesinger, all the while pursuing her critical stance as an individual and as an artist. In her husky voice, she describes – even humorously – her inner turmoil and her determination not to give up her home in the GDR, even when she was no longer wanted there. Written in 1980, her song “Über Gebote” (“About Rules”) serves Pehnert as a narrative thread while he uses archive material from East and West Germany, audio recordings from her trial as well as Wegner’s own words and music to guide us through her life. In this way, the film gives a new audience the chance to discover singer-songwriter Bettina Wegner – who really only ever wanted to sing love songs.

WEAREALLDETROIT – Vom Bleiben und Verschwinden [TRAILER german]
Apichatpong Weerasethakul crosses the globe and changes languages in his latest feature – but Colombia turns out to be something like a spiritual double for his home turf of Thailand, as we’re in very familiar Apichatpong territory here. Speaking Spanish most of the time, Tilda Swinton is an ideal fit for the director’s imaginative universe and is perfectly attuned to his characteristic pacing and tone. She plays Jessica, an orchid specialist working in Medellín who finds herself haunted and baffled by strange banging sounds – are they in the world outside, or inside her head? Attempting to solve the riddle, she consults a sound specialist, who proves oddly elusive, then later heads off into the countryside, where she meets a man who – like the hero of Borges’s story Funes the Memorious – claims never to forget anything. With a surprising modern jazz interlude and an altogether breathtaking payoff, MEMORIA is a poetic inquiry into sound, time, and memory, and another of Apichatpong’s essays on our interaction with the strangeness of the natural world; it’s also, incidentally, a reminder that Colombia is traditionally the home of Latin American magical realism. Jeanne Balibar and ZAMA’s Daniel Gimenez Cacho co-star. (Jonathan Romney)
