FSK: ab 12 Jahre

| 1 Std. 31 Min. | Dokumentation, Historie / Geschichte, Komödie

3,6/5 (bei 127 Stimmen)

Die Stadt Flint lebte fast ausschließlich von General Motors. In den 80er Jahren verlagerte deren Vorstandsvorsitzender Roger Smith elf Fabriken von Flint nach Mexico und setzte 30.000 Arbeiter auf die Straße. Trotz aller Versuche, andere Industrien anzusiedeln und durch ein vielfältiges kulturelles Angebot Touristen anzulocken, wurde Flint bald die unattraktivste Stadt der USA mit einer extrem hohen Verbrechensrate. Nur wenige Menschen waren so beschäftigt wie der örtliche Marshall, der die vielen Zwangsräumungen vollstrecken mußte.

1 Std. 20 Min. | Historie / Geschichte, Dokumentation

4,0/5 (bei 54 Stimmen)

Dieser Dokumentarfilm dreht sich um die Apollo-Missionen der USA, also um die große Zeit der US-Amerikanischen, bemannten Raumfahrt. Eine Besonderheit ist, daß lediglich Originalaufnahmen der Astronauten und anderer NASA-Mitarbeiter verwendet wurden, also kein Kommentar benutztr wurde, was dazu führt, daß nicht die Technik oder die Mission sondern vielmehr die Menschen im Mittelpunkt stehen.

How Hitler Lost the War(1989)

1 Std. 7 Min. | Dokumentation

3,5/5 (bei 1 Stimme)

Through interviews with former World War II fighter aces, "How Hitler Lost the War" examines the theory that the German Armed Forces substantially won and then lost the war in Europe before 1942. That had it not been for the political and military mistakes of Adolf Hitler, the United States would have had to stand alone against a Nazi Europe allied with an even more powerful Japan, and face a future that is barely imaginable.

Regie: David Hoffman - Schauspieler: Adolf Galland

Water and Power(1989)

57 Min. | Dokumentation

3,5/5 (bei 7 Stimmen)

Pat O'Neill, one of the most interesting filmmakers in America today, offers a dazzling reflection on the conflict between nature and man in Los Angeles, or the desertification of the city's surroundings due to its enormous water consumption. More interestingly, it is also a film in the age-old tradition of city symphonies: a film about LA's foundation myths and the dreams it embodies, about its history and (grim) future, its topography and ethnography. O'Neill uses footage from several classic films to recreate the several layers of meaning emanating from the city, juxtaposing images and fantasies and hardly ever allowing one picture to go untouched. George Lockwood's swarming soundtrack is likewise composed of conflicting languages, an elaborate work of plunderphonics in which snippets of sound stolen from movies collide with electronic soundscapes, contemporary chamber music, improv, and what not.

Regie: Pat O'Neill

Aufzeichnungen zu Kleidern und Städten(1989)

1 Std. 19 Min. | Dokumentation

3,4/5 (bei 5 Stimmen)

Yohji Yamamoto - ein kreatives Genie zwischen den Metropolen Paris und Tokio. Wim Wenders findet in ihm einen Seelenverwandten und beobachtet den Mode-Avantgardisten mit der Kamera. Wenders' Film über die Kunst des Kleidens wird zum Porträt der Städte und zum Diskurs der Gemeinsamkeiten von Architektur, Design und Kino. Dieser "Tagebuchfilm", wie Wenders ihn nannte, untersucht die Gemeinsamkeiten seines Handwerks, des Filmemachens, mit dem Handwerk eines Modedesigners, dem in Tokyo lebenden Yohji Yamamoto, der zu Beginn der 1980er Jahre die Modewelt in Paris und New York schockierte und revolutionierte.

Regie: Wim Wenders - Schauspieler: Yohji Yamamoto, Wim Wenders

Charles Manson Superstar(1989)

1 Std. 40 Min. | Krimi, Dokumentation

2,5/5 (bei 5 Stimmen)

For forty years, Charles Manson has survived most of his life in what he calls 'the hallways of the all ways,' the reform schools, jails and prisons that have been his home and tomb. His thought was born in the hole of solitary confinement, apart from time and beyond the grasp of society. In his cell, he created his own world and speaks his own language: he has concluded that there is only the mind. From convincing his followers to move into the desert to train for the apocalypse, to leading a murderous crew through a string of devilish murders, you will see and hear from Manson himself of how he created a preconceived terror based on his philosophy of life. Manson claims that the so-called 'straight' world outside of prison is but an inverted reflection of the underworld in which he has lived. To him, the reality that presidents and law-abiding citizens accept begins in the hermetic alternate universe of criminals, cons and outlaws.

Regie: Nikolas Schreck - Schauspieler: Charles Manson

Strand, Under the Dark Cloth(1989)

1 Std. 21 Min. | Dokumentation

3,1/5 (bei 2 Stimmen)

Although his influence on the history of photography has been nothing short of profound, Paul Strand (1890-1976) remains a curiously shrouded and paradoxical figure. While passionately devoted to humanity, he was happiest in the isolation of the dark room. A pioneer filmmaker (Manhatta, Native Land, Heart of Spain, The Wave), he found the process of collaboration painful. Strand established himself in New York in the 1920's as a master of light and structure, with his now famous photo of Wall Street inspired by the forms and movement of European modernist painters such as Matisse and Picasso. His closeup portraits and landscapes were equally profound. John Walker's Strand.

Regie: John Walker

North Korea: The Parade(1989)

1 Std. | Dokumentation

4,1/5 (bei 4 Stimmen)

Defilada was made on the occasion of the 40th anniversary celebrations of state's founding in North Korea, which the regime intended to use to eclipse the 1988 Summer Olympics taking place that year in Seoul, South Korea. The North Korean regime invited filmmakers from countries then considered friendly (read: Communist), including People's Republic of Poland, which sent a team under Andrzej Fidyk. The documentary is primarily composed of declarative statements, as well as texts of North Korean newspapers and books. There was no author's commentary. Fidyk commented that he and his team were likely “the most disciplined” foreign team of filmmakers in North Korea, as they did not trouble the regime by looking under the surface - they were content with what they were given and asked to do.

Recsk 1950–53: Story of a Forced Labor Camp(1987)

3 Std. 50 Min. | Dokumentation

This European Film Award winner documentary tells the story of Recsk, Hungary's most notorious political prison camp, which operated between 1950 and 1953. During the early 1950's the very existence of this camp for political prisoners at Recsk was one of the Hungarian communist regime's deepest secrets. Hundreds of people were taken there without ever actually being sentenced by any court, and had to suffer through the brutal treatment handed down by their sadistic captors. This documentary tells the story of Recsk from both the captors' and the prisoners' point of view, capturing the atmosphere of paranoia, humiliation and degradation that prevailed throughout the Stalinist gulag system.

Regie: Géza Böszörményi, Lívia Gyarmathy
