That being second place just isnt good enough. The various premier announced he was doubling the festivals budget and hope to turn munich into a Truly International media that this is going to help the belief that with the new structures we have games Virtual Reality films that are more interesting to a foreign audience we can add more elements in order to catch up with the berlin Film Festival. To be able to have to take them right away but they should feel snapping at the heel soon after and. When it comes to hollywood stars at least munich was able to shine oscar winner Emma Thompson was in town to present her new film and to receive the festivals cinema merit award for her lifetime contribution to international film. Why. I. Love. That song. From her successful musical me and my girl it brought the house down Emma Thompson had munich eating out of her hand. She is a powerful unconventional woman with a great set of pipes but nothing of the diva about her one of hollywoods coolest actresses was honored and celebrated in munich for her lifes work the work. Place made me think about my life and ive been thinking about my connections with germany and my admiration for germany actually in this extraordinary. Welcome that you gave to so many refugees here myra so much because my sons a refugee so i feel a really intimate connection with the generosity of spirit that i found here. Thompson doesnt keep her opinions to herself even on controversial topics her latest film the children actors about a difficult decision. She plays a london judge overwhelmed with work and a faltering marriage i dont have a so i think. I think i want to have an affair or be apprehended as with kenya however the boy and his parents are jehovahs witnesses and this conference is their face to accept love into their system. Its a moral dilemma should the judge try to save the boys life against his will or not she decides to order the transfusion but in faith its just wrong the local. Life is more precious and dignity the weight of the law and the responsibility that you have over peoples lives and in this case over somebodies life and death. The sense of that responsibility was i think the biggest challenge but i met a lot of women in the family courts who were judges and they really helped me to understand. And thompson likes a challenge both in her private life and on screen her successful early films were also screened in unit. Such as howards end thompson won an oscar for her performance as margaret the socially critical romantic drama. There was no i dont. She want another oscar for her screenplay for sense and sensibility in which she also acted. Emma thompson is passionate intelligent and farcical her appearance at the word ceremony in munich was the highlight of the festival. And what awesome she is in the class of iran as you can probably see politics took center stage at the media Film Festival this year it started with the Opening Night film a movie about economic crisis out of control capitalism and rising political extremism sound familiar but this film is set not in twenty eighteen but during the Weimar Republic when a young playwright by the name of bell told blessed pens his masterpiece the threepenny opera. The underworld the demi monde and bush was Society Everyone making deals with everyone else but i just wrote food is the first thing morals fall on a. Merry. Merry. Im a society on the edge that talk to a student lee analyzed the situation at the end of the roaring twentys the parallels to germany today are striking. Minor minor enough. British doctors. To review the road side to side. In a circle shot comic. Book director york in long doesnt limit himself to a new retelling of the three penny opera he also reveals that but i originally wanted to adapt the play as a film which he would direct but ended up hopelessly at odds with the producers. Says in focus this is a vessel and does a scene across the. Maquis message is a bio pic a musical and a film adaptation all in one long run the widest static gamut with this film but thats true to the spirit of play. And we saw that and much more in the arts of the one nine hundred twenty s. And not only in germany tried a lot of things out of it until the nazis put an end to it i think its time that we take up the bread of the grand artistic experiment and build on it and see for free. But spread over two hours that approaches convoluted and overloaded viewers unfamiliar with the threepenny opera can quickly get lost between the story in the opera and crashed own biography. And for. The. First time for differing from blue dog and old firm games of written kind. Of. Mind is more who can. Ask you to write this activity just free runners for you for golf this is fun. Those lines are all quotes mostly from tests letters. Depends on the it was a challenge to give life to those lines so that you felt that saying them was an impulse that burst out of him at that moment that they were thoughts he only just had to not simply recite them stiffly as a nice would suspect so and so for. The audience at the premiere was greeted with the English Version of the most famous song written by battered placed in court by. Mack the knife and. The film features plenty of songs and even more story which means a lot gets lost in the telling this project honoring a prescient german author is perhaps over and vicious but it offers great cinema with lush images. Because. The munich Film Festival might not yet be as big as the belly nala but its still the number one spot discover new german talent this years crop of up and comers gave us some more often edge of a new generation of berlin Party Animals and stressed out geeks of a life lived on the edge and in the cold glow of the computer screen. A young man withdraws into a Virtual World food drink or even sex he can get it online. Then theres johnny who earns a bit of money as a webcam girl to support her Party Lifestyle long as her parents are watching. Two directors two points of view on a new generation what are they up to what motivates. One film could take place anywhere and up tight alone with his computer. I was thinking maybe. A dinner highly intelligent but isolated he gets truly close to a woman for the first time it could be the start of a love story where you might think this is what i was interested in the combination of someone i consider so intelligent having so many unfulfilled sexual needs while at the same time working in the i. T. Sector where the guys really do tend to just isolate themselves work that lead. In this case it leads to almost unbearable horror having been rejected he murders his would be caught friend and dismembered her body all of which is shown in a gory but matter of fact way the film is hardly a ringing endorsement of the modern day man she broke my heart. But. My life. The film is about a weak man surrounded by four lively and strong no women through the help or interaction in whatever form he becomes what he becomes over the course of the film. But. This film is about for very a life women in berlin its told in an almost documentary style with the women recreating their own lives whats real and whats made up getting paid for sex with old men getting high on super cheap drugs. So as to myself but. Also theres no being excessively way of new drugs and noise that suggest in the film and then theres the self presentation on the law and the height of celebrating it and showing how cool you all these people arent necessarily addictions to drugs as much as they all to a certain lifestyle is insisting on lifestyle director gronkowski knows this lifestyle from firsthand experience having spent years with his lead actresses. In both films the director seem fascinated but person x. By this new urban generation both men and women who seem lost and lonely isolated and desperate and searching for connection.
