Zehn kleine Negerlein, die tranken ein Glas Wein. Das eine, das verschluckte sich, da waren’s nur noch neun. Neun kleine Negerlein, die schliefen in der Nacht. Eins ist nicht mehr aufgewacht, da waren’s nur noch acht. Acht kleine Negerlein, die gingen Kegel schieben. Eins blieb allein zurück, da waren’s nur noch sieben. Sieben kleine Negerlein, die trafen im Wald ‘ne Hex’. Sie winkte dem einen mit der Axt, da waren’s nur noch sechs. Sechs kleine Negerlein, die liefen ohne Strümpf’. Den einen stach eine Wespe ins Bein, da waren’s nur noch fünf. Fünf kleine Negerlein, die kamen vor des Richters Tür. Der schickt den einen aufs Schafott, da waren’s nur noch vier. Vier kleine Negerlein, die kamen am Strand vorbei. Ein Nixlein sah sie lockend an, da waren’s nur noch drei. Drei kleine Negerlein, die liebten die Jägerei. Das eine fraß der wilde Bär, da waren’s nur noch zwei. Zwei kleine Negerlein, die letzten des Vereins. Das eine schoss das andere um, da gab es nur noch eins. Ein kleines Negerlein blieb ganz allein o Graus. Da hängte es sich selber auf, und das Lied ist aus.

“Und ich sage euch, keiner von uns wird diese Insel je wieder verlassen.” (General John Gordon McKenzie)

“Wir kommen alle um hier in diesem Haus - bis auf einen.” (Dr. Edward George Armstrong) “Es hat doch alles keinen Zweck. Wir kommen hier niemals mehr raus.” (Vera Claythorne)

“Zehn kleine Negerlein” (1969)

Ein glänzend aufgelegtes Schauspielensemble macht diese Fernsehfassung von Agatha Christies “Und dann gab es keines mehr” - nach wie vor der weltweit am meisten verkaufte Kriminalroman - zu einem unbedingten Sehvergnügen. Besonders bemerkenswert ist die Zahl der außer Richter Wargrave (Alfred Schieske) ebenfalls verdächtig erscheinenden Personen wie der mysteriöse Philipp Lombard (Rolf Boysen), der schmierige Privatdetektiv Blore (Werner Peters), die eiskalte Miss Brent (Nora Minor) sowie der sarkastische Butler Rogers (Günther Neutze).

IN A YEAR OF THIRTEEN MOONS/ in einem Jahr mit 13 Monden (Rainer Werner Fassbinder, West Germany, 1978)

Watching IN A YEAR OF THIREEN MOONS has proven an overwhelming experience, one that’s resulted in trouble keeping within the terms of the exercise  I’ve set for myself, which is to see a Fassbinder film in the evening, and then take no more than half an hour to write about it the morning after, with maybe another hour or so gathering or making the clips and images necessary to illustrate whatever…

SPECIFIC MOVIE RECOMMENDATIONS #1

🌙✨ Gothic Fairy-Tale Films with Strong Female Leads ✨🌙

🍒❤️‍🔥Hey lovelies,

If you're like me find endless inspiration in the aesthetics of gothic fairy-tales, then you're in for a treat! I've created a list of enchanting atmospheric films, perfect for a cozy evening with your favorite tea.

To start with, of course, an absolute classic: a folk horror, menstrual tale with possibly the most aesthetically beautiful frames I've ever experienced in cinema. I constantly post something from this film on my blogs.

Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (1970): This surreal Czechoslovakian film follows young Valerie as she discovers a dreamlike world filled with vampires and magic. It's a visually stunning exploration of adolescence and awakening womanhood.

2. Daughters of Darkness (1971): This cult classic Belgian horror film features a mysterious, seductive countess who preys on young lovers in a deserted hotel. it’s a hypnotic blend of gothic allure and vampiric intrigue.

3. Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979): Werner Herzog's remake of the classic silent version. The film captures the gothic essence with stunning visuals and a chilling, melancholic tone. It's a mesmerizing exploration of fear and beauty.

4. The Vampire Lovers (1970): This Hammer Horror classic stars Ingrid Pitt as the alluring vampire Carmilla, who preys on young women in a secluded 19th-century village. it’s a captivating blend of horror and sensuality.

5. Beauty and the Beast (1978): This dark fantasy film, directed by Juraj Herz, offers a unique and eerie retelling of the classic fairy tale.Ideal for those who love a blend of dark romance and fairy-tale magic.

6. Viy (1967): This Soviet horror film, based on Nikolai Gogol's novella, follows a young priest who must spend three nights watching over the body of a witch in a haunted church. With its eerie atmosphere, stunning special effects, and deep roots in Slavic folklore, it's a captivating blend of supernatural horror and gothic fantasy.

That's all for today. I have many more films like these saved on my watchlist, so once I find some gems, I'll make another list. You can also look forward to a list of my favorite old fairy tales adaptations.

Kisses 💌💌

“Seeing a Fassbinder retrospective is better than drugs, liquor and sex put together”. John Waters

Born on this day: inspired, despairing and uncompromising director, playwright, actor and turbulent New German cinema visionary, Rainer Werner Fassbinder (31 May 1945 – 10 June 1982) – a true titan of European art cinema. Expressions like “wunderkind,” “monstre sacré” and “enfant terrible” are all applicable here. All these decades later, his best films (off the top of my head, my favourites include Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (1974), Martha (1974), Fear of Fear (1975), Fox and His Friends (1975), In a Year of 13 Moons (1978), Veronika Voss (1982) and Querelle (1982)) still sting like a slap across the face. Fassbinder also elicited career-best performances from the crème de la crème of German actresses like Brigitte Mira, Margit Carstensen, Irm Hermann, Ingrid Caven, Hanna Schygulla, Barbara Valentin, Rosel Zech, Barbara Sukowa and Christiane Maybach. “Fassbinder had the reputation of being quite difficult to deal with in real life, but anyone who made as many films as his years on earth (especially if they’re all good) deserves the privilege of being a true monster,” John Waters concludes in his 1987 book Crackpot. “If Fassbinder ever got any sleep, maybe his genius would have evaporated.” Pictured: very cute young Fassbinder (before the drugs and alcoholism prematurely ravaged him) in the titular role in Fox and His Friends.

World on a Wire (Rainer Werner Fassbinder, 1973)

Cast: Klaus Löwitsch, Barbara Valentin, Mascha Rabben, Karl Heinz Vosgerau, Wolfgang Schenck, Günther Lamprecht, Uili Lommel, Adrian Hoven, Ivan Desny, Kurt Raab, Margit Carstensen, Ingrid Caven, Gottfried John. Screenplay: Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Fritz Müller-Scherz, based on a novel by Daniel F. Galouye. Cinematography: Michael Ballhaus, Ulrich Prinz. Production design: Horst Giese, Walter Koch, Kurt Raab. Film editing: Ursula Elles, Marie Anne Gerhardt. Music: Gottfried Hüngsberg.

What we call "reality" is, as we all know, a construct, the product of the limitations of our senses. But what if we, too, are part of the construct, put here by some other entity and blinded to the reality that lies beyond the senses? That way lies religion -- "Now we see through a glass darkly...." -- and metaphysics -- now largely dismissed as "asking unanswerable questions" -- but also science fiction. Witness the popularity of a film like The Matrix (Lana Wachowski and Lilly Wachowski, 1999) and its sequels. In fact, Rainer Werner Fassbinder got there more than two decades before the Wachowskis. In 1973 he created a two-part television series, World on a Wire, that aired in Germany, and then became a kind of cult hit via file-sharing on the internet before being restored in 2010 and screened at the Berlin Film Festival. In it, a German research institute has created a simulated world in its supercomputer. The inhabitants of this world have been given consciousness, but only one of them has knowledge of the world outside the computer. He serves as a contact between the programmers and the simulated beings. But then the sudden death of the head of the program puts his second-in-command, Stiller (Klaus Löwitsch), in charge of investigating not only the death of his predecessor but also the suicide of one of the simulated beings. Stranger and stranger things begin to happen, until Stiller learns that he is also a simulation in his own simulated world. He also learns that the institute's simulated world is being used for commercial purposes, something that violates its agreement with the government funding it. As he comes to terms with this knowledge, his increasingly erratic behavior makes him a target for assassins, and his one hope is to find the contact with the level above that's simulating him. Got that? The head-spinning premise of the film comes from a novel, Simulacron-3, by the American writer Daniel F. Galouye, adapted by Fassbinder and Fritz Müller-Scherz. Fassbinder gives it a good deal of his characteristic style in the adaptation: The women in Stiller's world, for example, always wear cocktail dresses, even at work, and rooms are filled with mirrors to suggest the layers of reflected reality in the three levels. It was filmed in 16 mm for television, which means there's some graininess and focus problems in parts of the restored film, but the cinematography is by Fassbinder's frequent collaborator Michael Ballhaus, along with Ulrich Prinz. Löwitsch is very good as Stiller, taking on a kind of James Bondian role, and the paranoid atmosphere prevails even when the plot gets a bit snarled in its own premise.

A group of people are trapped in a West Berlin movie theater infested with ravenous demons who proceed to kill and possess the humans one-by-one, thereby multiplying their numbers.

It must be a strange experience, being a child of a great director, and following the very same genre. Do you go pretty much the same route, or try something vastly different? This would make a great double-bill, at an actual movie theatre, with the 50’s edition of ‘The Blob’–another film in which the cinema isn’t the safe, dark, womb-like place we take for granted it is. Gimly: It’s no _Night of the_ that’s for sure, but I enjoyed it in parts. Paricularly fond of the coke punks and the pimp. Dubbing’s a nightmare though. _Final rating:★★½ – Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._ John Chard: Metropol Mayhem! Demons (Demoni) is directed by Lamberto Bava and Bava co-writes the screenplay with Dario Argento, Dardano Sacchetti and Franco Ferrini. It stars Urbano Barberini, Natasha Hovey, Karl Zinny, Paola Cozzo, Fiore Argento and Geretta Giancarlo. Music is by Claudio Simonetti and cinematography by Gianlorenzo Battaglia. A wonderfully nutty spiced Spaghetti Horror, plot has a group of people trapped in a Berlin movie theatre that suddenly comes under attack by ravenous demons. It could reasonably be argued that Bava’s movie has some cheeky narrative depth underneath the gloop and schlock, this is after all purposely set in a movie theatre and features a film that basically becomes real, sort of. But really it’s a pic that’s set up for like minded horror buffs to feast upon, to jump head first into its feverish horror comic book glee. The script is as poor as the dubbing is, with a roll call of cardboard cut out characters and loose end scenarios jettisoned in readiness for the next plasmatic explosive sequence. Yet the care free abandon of the gruesome killings on show, and the rapid pace of it all, ensures it’s a fun packed ride. Even t...
