b_books montagspraxis ist simpsons neue folgen gucken, futurama sehen. montagabend 21 uhr, luebbener str. 14 b_books presents as ausgehtip für den samstag davor: Saturday, Sept 2 21:00 Kino Arsenal (the new one-- Potsdamer Platz Filmhaus) Video Premiere----New Cinema--Free Wine Fernweh/The Opposite of Homesick by Liza Johnson starring Veronika Nowag Jones, Neal Wach, Johannes Steltzhammer, uva. camera by Uli Malik sound design by Natascha Sadr Haghighian Liza Johnson's Fernweh/The Opposite of Homesick cleverly juxtaposes two intersecting story lines that provide a mordant critique of post-Communist Germany. Margaret, a film cleaner at an archive, who stoically survived the indignities of the former German Democratic Republic, views the promise of prosperity in a newly united Germany with a certain wariness. When an earnest young man who romanticizes America as a land of unlimited prosperity turns up with his older and more cynical American lover, a Fassbinderian power struggle augments the more elegiac tone set by Margaret's reminiscences. Shot and edited with marked assurance, Johnson's jaundiced assessment of contemporary German mores is both witty and utterly unsentimental. -Richard Porton, Cineaste ---------------------------------------------------------- # rohrpost -- deutschsprachige Mailingliste fuer Medien- und Netzkultur # Info: majordomo@mikrolisten.de; msg: info rohrpost # kommerzielle Verwertung nur mit Erlaubnis der AutorInnen # Entsubskribieren: majordomo@mikrolisten.de, msg: unsubscribe rohrpost # Kontakt: owner-rohrpost@mikrolisten.de -- http://www.mikro.org/rohrpost
