also, it Would be now national to read even nationalistic? Maren Ade’s “Toni Erdmann” alias “Teutoni landslide” from snaps at the European Film awards on Saturday in Wroclaw, all the competitors – and the same in all five key categories? German movies had not this year, thousands of bad at the European Academy awards: in 2004, Fatih akin’s “Against the wall”, and in 2003, holten, Wolfgang Becker’s “Good Bye, Lenin!”, and in 2006, Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, “the lives of Others” won also the trophies for the main actor and the screenplay. Such a walk but there was never. Best Film, best Director and best screenplay for Maren Ade, the tension of father-daughte r Team Peter Simonischek and Sandra Hüller!
national pride? Nonsense. From all of the 47 European States 3200 members of the European Film Academy have simply the most original and versatile of the most voted among the five nominated competitors in the main discipline to Best Drama. For a solitaire, of the contains of the neoliberal cold shocks of globalization, the alienation between the generations, to the precarious relationship between success and essence plenty of issues to be without one of its 162 minutes, a Film “the theme”. Probably for the principle of compensatory justice, opted to stay in Cannes Toni Erdmann was assumed to be “” empty and for a long-overdue diversity. In her third so tight as substantial thank-you speech mentioned Maren Ade pointedly incidentally, when now 29. Passage of the European Gala was for the first time in the Film of a Director award.
this Monday, still a birthday, Maren Ade 40 – and after the European Triumph all the more speaks well for the success of your well in the cinema’s successful film carries on also today to announce the Golden Globe nominations straight to the Oscar. The loser of the Evening, however, the still great, energetic, and twice as old Ken Loach. With the Golden palm in Cannes, the excellent “I, Daniel Blake”, a massive, (melo-)dramatic Pamphlet against cold-hearted social authorities and the impoverishment of millions, not only in the UK, was regarded as the strongest rival of “Toni Erdmann”; in the collective wisdom but in the Academy, United film artists, voted against the ultimately political Statement. The nominated competitors, Pedro Almodóvars “Julieta”, Paul Verhoeven’s “Elle” and Lenny Abrahamsons “Room”, offered in addition to these two heavyweights, anyway, not a Chance.
The capitalism critic Ken Loach speaks at noon, an hour over Europe and the Brexit
After all, at the lunch before the award ceremony, Ken Loach, has its celebrities. In a free-spoken one-hour presentation he does not talk to his colleagues to the Conscience, to make beautiful films and whine about the current crisis in Europe, but also to act politically. “It’s five before twelve, the barbarians come in the door,” he says, and the front was established once more between the “working class” and “gangster capitalists”. His core thesis, according to which the EU serves the Latter as a willing Instrument, he was so committed and example-rich, that is hardly plausible, why he wants to be voted in June against Brexit. His “tactical” decision he justified with the fear of even greater economic disadvantages for his country. Pro-sounds European, however, in the case of Loach nothing.
In the discussions on this Breslauer weekend dominated anyway different: in particular, the views of the threatened and partly already takes place at the end of the abolition of the democracies by elected governments, and the deconstruction of the post-1989 political, carefully-knit continent. So Hungarian film people pride themselves on being sarcastic in order to be, at least in this respect, thanks to Orbán. The Balts think, in turn, according to which geopolitical goals, Putin, after the Pacification of Syria next track mag. And from Poland is back, and to hear again the sigh “God save Angela Merkel”. As the continent need now a kind of Queen: a non-partisan, supranational, civilizational values representative of a sovereign demarcation. And, as is, for life.
Political Appeals and warnings in the direction of Poland, there were abundant at the Gala
Poland’s most transformed currently on, obviously, in a Demokratur, the price of political division of the people. Since the rights of the PiS-government is at the helm, be in the media and cultural institutions – think of the recent dismissal of the head of the Polish cultural Institute in Berlin, Katarzyna Wielga-Skolimowska – non-governmental think-compliant cleaned heads almost Stalinist out of their Offices.
After all, there is Protest. In Wroclaw, approximately, was booed at the opening of the capital of culture year in mid-January, the new Minister “for culture and national heritage”, Piotr Glinski,. Hardly begun, he had tried, in the renowned Wroclaw’s Teatr Polski, the performance of Elfriede Jelinek’s play “death and The maiden” because of allegedly pornographic material. In the meantime, the Director has been replaced; the Ensemble organises meanwhile, according to the ideas, always a minute’s silence, with black tape on the mouths.
the long, but memorable Gala worthy on Saturday in the new Wroclaw Philharmonic device to a passionate Demo. At the beginning of the since 2002, President of the non-party mayor Rafal Dutkiewicz the sound. Nothing more than “stinking old sweat” is the wave of nationalism, the detected currently, the continent. “Go shower, Europe!” he calls in the jubilant Auditorium, which makes the snappy Slogan, especially as a reminder of Poland’s rights commander-in-chief understands. Like a leitmotif also of Krzysztof Kieslowski’s legendary record haunts “I hope Poland is in Europe” by the evening, the memory of whose victory at the first European film awards ceremony, a year before the big change in 1989. The actor and host Maciej Stuhr, the moderated already ten years ago, in Warsaw, once the Gala says: “And we were so sure we belong to it”.
next year marks the European film Academy 30. Birthday – in Berlin
crises, back and forth: As at least culturally coherent continent of Europe is exhilarating, specifically, in the case of this annual, along to the multi-lingual film-makers meet. And when, late in the evening, singer of Wroclaw’s student choir with the penetrating energy of the “song of the unification of Europe” to sing, the Zbigniew Preisner 1993 after the famous Bible text from the 1. Letter to the Corinthians for the Kieslowski Film “Three colours: composed of Blue,” are melancholy and sense of cohesion in the room equally.
Requiem for a dream? Next December we gather for the 30. Gala in Berlin. Then the Netherlands (in March), France (April) and Germany (September)
