Something to Remind Me
7.2/10
Middle-aged lawyer Thomas assists Leyla, an attractive blonde, when she drops her things at the pool. After their paths keep crossing, he picks up the courage to ask her out for a date. Somewhat to his surprise she agrees, but arrives late, just as the restaurant is closing. They go back to his apartment for an impromptu pizza and, after a few drinks, she falls asleep on the couch. The next morning Thomas awakes to find Leyla and his laptop, which contains vital case files, missing... An expertly constructed thriller in the tradition of Hitchcock and Chabrol, writer/director Christian Petzold's Something To Remind Me keeps the viewer enthralled throughout. -- Keith Hennessey Brown, Eye for Film
Partisan
Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz 1992-2017. The end of the GDR gave rise to new artistic freedoms in reunited Berlin. Shortly after the fall of the Wall, rebel director Frank Castorf was appointed artistic director of the Volksbühne. His way of working altered the public’s perception of this theater. The chronological history of the Castorf era between 1992 and 2017 is told here in excerpts from the productions and in a series of conversations conducted on the long sofa in the theater's foyer.
Coming In

Schnitzel geht immer
6.1/10
With a t-shirt sale the two friends Günther and Wolfgang finally want to turn their backs on unemployment benefits. But this plan is not as easy to implement as expected and in the end, almost everything is different than it initially looks. But one thing is certain: there is always time of a Schnitzel.
The Final Journey
6.9/10
A former German Army officer, accompanied by his granddaughter, journeys to the Ukraine to find the woman he once loved.
Demons
6.7/10
In the last house just behind the western borders of Russia, between Paris/Texas and Korleput/Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Cindy Sherman, Dogma 95 and Duma 2000, Frank Castorf directs his virst video production "Dämonen" ("Demons") as a sort of post-Soviet-panslavistic panopticon in his own dramaturgy based on Dostojewski's "Demons" and Camus' "The Posessed". All that in set designer Bert Neumann's industrial-designed bungalow (with swimming pool) built onto forbidding landscape.
Wir lieben das Leben
5.9/10
The good thing about a low point is, you can not fall lower. At least the unemployed Maria Kowalke thinks after her break-up and when the "strange" father re-enters her life. Instead of teaching art education, Maria, who urgently needs work, has to step in as a music teacher in a secondary school. The lack of concentration and insubordination of their 10th graders quickly push them to their limits. It could always be worse! But Maria Kowalke is a teacher who advocates for her students, and her father Max Schellinger a pensioner who is far from the old iron.
Schmutzige Hände
A political drama about the assassination of a leading politician. When Hugo comes out of jail, the Communist party has embarrassingly swung in a new direction, namely Hoederer's line. Now Hugo must die.
Kurt Weill
