A LITTLE LOVE PACKAGE

A Little Love Package is a film made of pictures, flavours, sensations. The taste of a boiled egg at breakfast eaten by Nikolaus, owner of Café Weidinger. Stunning images of a drone filming distant lands. A visit to the museum. A brief return to one’s home country. A loving homage to the beautiful Vienna, presented to us almost as a timeless place by Gastón Solnicki.

MUTZENBACHER

The room is very spacious, the sofa decidedly comfortable, the topics dealt with often excessively controversial. But that is precisely the point of Mutzenbacher: to allow everyone to identify with those who are usually strongly judged, feeling vulnerable in turn and trying to understand dynamics that are anything but simple.

SONNE

Kurdwin Ayub is not afraid to dare and experiment with new film languages. This, after all, is what she has always done in her previous works as well. In Sonne, therefore, the director also finally feels free to develop and explore themes close to her heart from the perspective of teenagers who live in a big European city, but who come from all over the world. What, then, does homeland mean?

rimini-2022-seidl-recensione

RIMINI

With Rimini, Ulrich Seidl once again gives us a merciless portrait of the world in which we live, in which no one is given a chance to save themselves, in which there is no hope for a better future, in which old songs from World War II still echo through the corridors of a shabby retirement home and act as a sad leitmotif in our lives.

FOR THE MANY – THE VIENNA CHAMBER OF LABOUR

For the Many – The Vienna Chamber of Labour is a fundamental document concerning the history of Vienna. An impressive, insightful and comprehensive fresco of a very important reality in everyday life. An essential film, which, together with the director’s previous works, almost gives us the idea of one of the many volumes of an encyclopaedia on Austria’s contemporary history that Wulff is slowly writing.
