Berlinale diary laugh exclusively outdoors – SPIEGEL ONLINE

Maybe we can steal the trick of Spike Lee. The leaves in seinerAgit-Prop-Revue “Chi-raq” before an arsenal, in which three dozen women have entrenched for their Sexstreik, large speakers mount up. It sounds sensual R’n’B, while a bunch of well-built men swinging the butt in the briefest uniform. And soon the women come to completely different thoughts.

A similar picture should try it when the selection committee meets for the Berlinale Competition. sonicate your meeting room with durchgeknalltem Pop and contort the limbs on the windows. Maybe they make themselves then they’re loose and load a funny movie in a competition. To date, there dominates namely the dogged seriousness. Even the jokes cabaret artist from the German film “24 weeks” are so flat that they Derek Zoolander lamé had even found.

After connecting Thomas Vinterberg in “Kollektivet” ( “The Commune”, in German cinemas: April 21.) several tonalities. Full footed Dane begins his autobiographical film about a commune in Copenhagen seventies. Because they want more interaction with other people, brings newscaster Anna (Trine Dyrholm) her husband Erik (Ulrich Thomsen) and her daughter Freja (Martha Hansen) to the inherited city Villa not for sale, but recover with a handful of friends.

It is drunk a lot and sometimes – be as much Scandinavia must – bathed naked collectively. About the house rules is argued from time to time, and wondered how it because a so just go, in fact too often. However, overall life in the Villa-WG runs very harmonious. Until Erik in love with a student. Suddenly it’s up to Anna to decide how alternatively can really go there in the community.

Living differently, otherwise suffer

No ballyhoo about Hippie quirks but no settlement with the ’68 promise of happiness: with “the Commune” Thomas Vinterberg tries rather a unexcited inventory of alternative lifestyles. The municipality, so the interpretation of Vinterberg and his ancestral co-author Tobias Lindholm ( “The Hunt”, “Submarino”), acts as a kind of prism. It concentrates the light and radiates it into a colorful spectrum in all directions. For some community life never brings unknown cohesion, for others it decomposes their luck. Whom it was made such, is not foreseeable. Although at the end of “The Commune” much is crying. Undramatic and undogmatic has no longer a film approached the seventies

Not laughed, yes, not even speaking, is first in Alex Gibneys new documentary. No comment, this I can say nothing, top secret, even if I knew something, I would not say it: “Zero Days” begins with a loud experts who deplore deceptive grin on the matter unfortunately to say nothing. The thing that is the cyber-attack on Iran’s uranium enrichment program in 2010. In the media sat “Stuxnet” as the name of the computer worm used by. But internally, as a finally talkative source Gibneys reveals called the operation OG – Olympic Games.

, however, led a global competition of nations unsportsmanlike with unregulated means of Cyber ​​War: The looks Gibney (Oscar in 2007 for “Taxi to the Dark Side”) as a consequence of Stuxnet. Extremely carefully carries the Americans together the evidence that the US and Israel behind the digital attack were on Iran. He focuses on the threat that provides the Israeli government emanating from Iran, not in principle. But if he shows Barack Obama as he announced the historic breakthrough in the negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program in late summer 2015, Gibney makes it clear that he thinks diplomacy is the right way. But how many chances diplomacy even in times after Stuxnet?

In small-scale interviews with IT professionals Gibney fans out the specifics of the Stuxnet worm in its sophistication and its aggressiveness. This strengthens the one understanding and laymen, as this particular malware works and how exactly they could attack the centrifuges in Iran’s Natanz Atomanalage. Secondly, however, be seen as more generally, what now is possible in the context of cyber attacks – by shutting down individual centrifuges to suspend the water supply of an entire country seemingly everything. The date from which all is possible wearing Gibneys movie title: “Zero Days”. This is the technical term for: immediately. attuned

Ground control to Philippe Mars

From Alex Gibney on the doomsday, came Dominik Moll’s new feature film “Des nouvelles de la planète Mars” (News from Mars) again better zupass than it would have done without maximum contrast the charming comedy. Mars says here the father and IT expert Philippe Mars (François Damiens). The lives actually very down to earth, in the company’s work is appreciated, with his ex-wife he shares custody of the two children relatively frictionless on. Nevertheless, the direct access to him seems to have lost his life: In his dreams he hovers as a lone astronaut on his hometown Paris

When in Brussels sharpens the euro crisis, and his ex-wife, a television journalist, the children with him. dumps, because they have to report on the summits, is also in a crisis Philippe. The fact that a severed ear, several dozen frogs and vegetarianism play a decisive role, must as evidence, how nice it incredibly fast on the “Mars” approaching, rich – more would reveal too much about the wonderful leisurely escalation of events.

In his fifth feature film by German-born Moll holds ( “Harry, He’s Here to Help”) resistant balance between grotesque act and tender figure drawing. With current German comedies that has nothing to do – but nothing with the French Humor blockbusters, the tamers of multiculturalism. Most “Des nouvelles de la planète Mars” still connects with the Belgian hit comedy “The brand new Testament”, which brought as a clever satire and social criticism under one roof.

Sounds total for a candidate on the bear? God forbid – “Des nouvelles de la planète Mars” course running out of competition and therefore eligible for a prize in question. It is really high time for a little dance before the windows of the selection committee.
