And in our series one hundred german must reads we plunge into. Oppressive tale of seemingly random injustice and impenetrable authority the trial. Well in two thousand and five germany was shocked by the murder of twenty three year old how to shoot a young turkish kurdish woman who had dared to leave a forced marriage and defy her strict muslim family while she was shot point blank in on the street by her youngest brother a socalled on or killing german director sherry harmans new film a regular woman tells the story a new and gives the victim back her voice. Thousand and five. And the regular woman is a true story i know grew up in the Berlin District Court spoke but was sent to
marry a cousin in a forced marriage after fleeing the abusive marriage and returning to germany she begins to assert independence. Day easy. For me i know its a kind of joan of arc of the berlin backyard. The because she was brought up in a strict religious family we dont need to say a strict muslim family we can say simply a strict religious family in a home with many siblings and she had the courage to say this cannot be my whole life. He has to have against the will of our family she moves Alice Donovan she begins an apprenticeship as an actress and chooses her boyfriends. I know is eventually accepted back into the Family Circle because of the interest
in her. But this interest eventually seals her fate. But its. A list to put. Because one of those who did. It is eventually her youngest brother who i know i helped bring up who pulls the trigger. Well a regular woman just premiered at the tribeca Film Festival in new york and my colleague Adrian Kennedy has joined have seen the film adrian welcome. A harrowing experience i think to say the least watching this and its a very unusual way of telling the story with i know narrating it from beyond the
grave and thats why its a very interesting device that proves very effective in the end i think i can say that some marvelous acting right across the board in this film but i have to point out main accolades go to. Chick playing i know. Its very nuanced performance stories very precisely told beginning with forced marriage attempts to become independent to have france we see her. In talk with us and whos trying to get her rights and documents. Attempts to become independent and how close is this story to the real events of tuesday its very accurate indeed very long the tension has been paid it uses the original locations they shoot on the streets were. Lived they used the
location for the two its also in suspense with Documentary Footage so we see the real life i know and that gives you confidence that they have captured essence very well in the film even while the story with the youngest Brother Venture The Killing how. Does it leaves you feeling incredulous but it did it all happen exactly as who tried in this film and that younger brother was in fact convicted right he was convicted hes already served his sentence and hes now being deported. Now the director Sherry Horman she also made the Film Desert Flower about the model wars dearie so she seems to specialize in these kinds of stories certainly political issues that particularly involve women what do you think her intentions were in making this film i think she wanted. Present a picture of our you know as a strong woman who attempted to go her own way but paid
a very high price of the Press Release also quotes the muslim feminist seven access who meant the fact that many could progressives would like to kind of sweep the story under the carpet because they dont want to be seen as anti muslim and they are all too willing to say that the number of killings in germany are insignificant and how what would those numbers be are actually twelve twelve killings in germany every year many punishments and thousands of forced marriages so i think the director is right when she says this is parts of our culture its. In all cities and its very important that we Start Talking about this topic certainly a topic that concerns many many cult countries i think estimates range from Something Like Five Thousand to Twenty Thousand women a year killed in all or related crimes worldwide so definitely something our regular woman by Sherry Horman is opening in theaters in germany on may ninth
youll have a good reception i hope it does it will be interesting to see how it is perceived all right thank you very much Adrian Kennedy for bringing us the story this time. Well nothing is sacred for you. The norwegian artist has a radical approach to creation because in order to create his signature videos he goes about destroying everything from Party Balloons to simple pasta and even potato chips and his fans love him for it all meanwhile hes got over Three Hundred Thousand followers on instagram but advises them not to try any of his stunts at home. A. Good explosion lots of confetti. Introducing Young Hawking Erickson visual artist and selfproclaimed destroyer from norway. Oslo studio he shoots a new video almost every day showing him besting the loons with the apparatus hes
built himself. Sometimes quickly and painlessly. But its all the times it takes several tries for it to pop. Thank. Bast he doesnt restrict himself to bursting balloons. In twenty eighteen he made a Popular Series of clips showing him smashing uncooked spaghetti with his head. Her uncle you also incorporates things hes not keen on interest on such as a long talks and Gym Equipment which the selfconfessed Exercise Painter Discouragement thank her i dont have like a huge message and i kind of think that there is enough for itself its like art
for arts sake is you dont have to have this message in that and i really hate off thats like that like street art and things like i got this means this is the worst ever. The fact that. Many artists use social media to raise their profile and find a gallery to sculpt and performance artist young hoppen eriks and these platforms themselves are the best Exhibition Space. Has turned his back on the analogue off world even though hes done very well that. You know its. Sort of frustrating for me to make something on the up fly for an Exhibition Space and then they have to wait a few months to see if you get an exhibition and maybe have like a year or two years to get the exhibition to takes too much time and i have to wait for too long. As soon as he has an idea he makes it happen. He shoots his clips in the studio with a smartphone he secures in a fixed position. And comments come thick and fast and that encourages young hawk on ericsson to continue posting his explosive images on the internet. From an artist whos the very definition of decisive to a writer who spent much of his life agonizing over decisions and not following through with things in fact because novels are so shot through with nightmarish uncertainty and bureaucratic oppression that the word kafka esque is often applied to those bizarre and impersonal situations where we feel powerless to control what is happening and the trial is a case in point yes your honor i plead guilty but could you please just tell me
what tuesday. In justice is one of the most compelling themes in literature and it takes on an absurdist proportions and Franz Kafka Novel The Trial kafka wrote the book which he never completed after breaking off his engagement to a woman named police bauer at the time he was killed in a little. Defensive somebody must have made a false accusation against you as of k. For he was arrested one morning without having done anything wrong. In character joseph case is a loner he does have a lover but no friends on his thirtieth birthday two unknown men come and tell him hes under arrest no more telling. When he appears for his hearing the court itself is just a strange its not a real court house like this one but an attic and
a rundown Apartment Building years of k. Believes theres a huge conspiracy against him. Theres no doubt that behind all the utterances of this court and therefore behind my arrest and todays examination there stands a Great Organization and the purpose of this Great Organization gentleman to arrest innocent persons and start proceedings against them which are pointless and mostly as in my case inconclusive. Scholars are still debating what the trial is really about isnt about kafkas personal life religion politics or could it be foreshadowing of the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. But these are questions the author never wanted us to ask kafka himself didnt want the trial to be published fortunately for us after he died at age forty his friend ignored that wish today the trial is one of the most important novels in literary history.
