Sorry Genosse | Sorry Comrade
DDR-Geschichte mal anders: In Vera Brückners farbenfroher Doku erwecken Karl-Heinz und Hedi ihre unglaubliche Romanze während des Kalten Krieges erneut zum Leben – samt waghalsiger Flucht über die deutsch-deutsche Grenze, geheimen Komplizen und verblüffend hilfsbereiten Stasi-Beamten! Stets in einen lässigen Retro-Look getaucht entführt „Sorry Genosse“ auf eine charmante wie spannungsgeladene Zeitreise in die deutsche Vergangenheit. Seine Uraufführung feierte der Film auf der Berlinale im Jahr 2022.
The Battle of Algiers
One of the most influential political films in history, The Battle of Algiers, by Gillo Pontecorvo, vividly re-creates a key year in the tumultuous Algerian struggle for independence from the occupying French in the 1950s. As violence escalates on both sides, children shoot soldiers at point-blank range, women plant bombs in cafés, and French soldiers resort to torture to break the will of the insurgents. Shot on the streets of Algiers in documentary style, the film is a case study in modern warfare, with its terrorist attacks and the brutal techniques used to combat them. Pontecorvo’s tour de force has astonishing relevance today.
