Zwei oder drei Dinge, die ich von ihr weiß(1967)

| 1 Std. 28 Min. | Komödie, Drama

3,2/5 (bei 73 Stimmen)

Juliette lebt mit Mann und Sohn in einem Pariser Vorort. Um ihr Haushaltsgeld aufzubessern und an den Annehmlichkeiten der modernen Konsumgesellschaft teilhaben zu können, geht sie gelegentlich auf den Strich. Gemäß seiner Auffassung „Jeder, der heutzutage in Paris leben will, egal in welcher sozialen Schicht, muss sich in gewisser Weise prostituieren“, zeigt Regisseur Jean-Luc Godard fragmentarisch Paris, kommentiert es flüsternd, bedauert die Lage Frankreichs, den Verlust von Identität und Moral sowie die zunehmende Amerikanisierung und Kapitalisierung. Dieses Filmessay gilt als Hauptwerk von Godards „soziologischer Periode“.

F wie Fälschung(1973)

| 1 Std. 29 Min. | Dokumentation

3,7/5 (bei 137 Stimmen)

Der Kunstfälscher Elmyr de Hory hat Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts zahllose Meisterwerke von Meistern wie Matisse, Modigliani oder Picasso mit einer unfassbaren Leichtigkeit gefälscht und an große Museen verkauft, ohne, dass irgendein Experte seine Fälschungen entlarven konnte. Als Ende der 60er-Jahre der Schriftsteller Clifford Irving eine aufklärende Biographie über den genialen Fälscher herausbringt, ist de Horys „Karriere“ faktisch beendet, obwohl er bestreitet, seine Bilder jemals mit fremden Signaturen versehen zu haben. Jedoch entpuppt sich auch Irving als Krimineller, als er damit auffliegt, eine gefälschte, angeblich autorisierte Biographie des rätselhaften und legendären Industriemultis Howard Hughes an einen Verlag zu verkaufen. Orson Welles traf beide, de Hory und Irving, in de Horys Villa auf Ibiza und schuf ein beispielloses Vexierspiel über Wirklichkeit und Fiktion.

Regie: Orson Welles - Schauspieler: Oja Kodar, Joseph Cotten, Elmyr de Hory, Clifford Irving, Gary Graver, Orson Welles, ...

1 Std. 13 Min. | Dokumentation

A film-maker travels through mountain villages and along the shores of Alpine lakes to investigate the disappearance of Valérie 20 years earlier. She allegedly murdered a Canadian tourist before disappearing without a trace. At least that is how the narrator, who was passing through the region at the time, remembers the story. Over the course of the interviews, the elusive Valérie seems to disappear a second time, literally engulfed by the Alpine landscape, magnificently captured on film by François Caillat. A haunting, imposing landscape, where chasms and precipices become metaphors, characters in a work of fiction that the camera turns into a documentary. A film in the form of an essay in which the director takes his work on memory to its highest degree of abstraction.

The Green Fog(2018)

1 Std. 2 Min. | Dokumentation

3,1/5 (bei 11 Stimmen)

A tribute to a fascinating film shot by Alfred Hitchcock in 1958, starring James Stewart and Kim Novak, and to the city of San Francisco, California, where the magic was created; but also a challenge: how to pay homage to a masterpiece without using its footage; how to do it simply by gathering images from various sources, all of them haunted by the curse of a mysterious green fog that seems to cause irrepressible vertigo….

Regie: Guy Maddin
