2023 Movies You Need to Watch (Part One)

The year of 2023. What an interesting year it was for me personally. Honestly, I’m done with this year, so instead of thinking about the memories I’d rather forget, let’s go through the best movies of the year!

Scream 6 (Released March 10th)

(Credit: Wikipedia)

Starring: Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding

Director(s): Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett

Scream 6 is the first movie on my list and first horror movie! With the fifth movie being an excellent addition to the franchise, this sixth installment takes us out of Woodsboro and into the city that never sleeps: New York. This movie clearly benefits from the change of scenery, adding suspense in ways that was unreachable for the franchise until this point, like the subway scene with Mindy (Jasmin Savoy-Brown) or the ladder scene with Anika (Devyn Nekoda). The story follows sisters Sam (Barrera) and Tara (Ortega) as they fight against another Ghostface.

(Credit: Variety)

What made this one stand out to me more is the lack of legacy characters this time around. Courtney Cox returns as Gale Weathers, in a very small cameo, while Hayden Panettiere reprises her role as Kirby Reed from Scream 4 in a much more substantial role. Despite those additions, this is Barrera and Ortega’s movie, with their relationship becoming the main thing holding the movie together. The Ghostfaces (Yes, more than one) are kinda mediocre and predictable, but the motives aren’t, which makes up for it. All in all, an awesome suspenseful film that is a perfect end to a franchise, thanks to Barrera, Ortega, and the director leaving.

Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (Released March 31st)

(Credit: Wikipedia)

Starring: Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis

Director(s): Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley

An underrated gem from this year is Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. The trailers did this movie an injustice, as it was nothing like they made it out to be. Pine and Rodriguez play a perfect platonic pair of friends as they try to survive in this big fantasy world. The story follows Edgin (Pine) and Holga (Rodriguez) as they travel across the world to save Edgin’s daughter Kira (Chloe Coleman) from Forge (Hugh Grant). Everyone plays their parts to perfection, and it makes you feel like you’re playing as these characters, and it shows that not everything will go as planned.

(Credit: NY Post)

There are so many funny moments from the Fat Dragon to different ways Edgin gets out of sticky situations. It also helps that both Smith and Lillis play excellent side characters that add to the awkward dynamic that may feel familiar to D&D players. Along with that, there are fun cameos from different actors that I won’t spoil that made me and my friends laugh. I hate that this film didn’t get more love because it truly is a joy to watch it. All in all, this is an amazing movie that deserves more love, and you should give it a watch if you haven’t, you’ll enjoy it!!

Evil Dead Rise (Released April 21st)

(Credit: IMDb)

Starring: Lily Sullivan, Alyssa Sutherland, Morgan Davies, Gabrielle Echols

Director: Lee Cronin

Another horror movie that came out this year, and on my birthday, was Evil Dead Rise! This was my first time watching an Evil Dead movie in the theater, and I really enjoyed it, thanks to other patrons in the theater. This movie was brutal, but not as brutal as the 2013 remake. A lot of people were mad about how goofy the movie was, but that’s actually my favorite part! It was like a return to the original Evil Dead, taking it back to its roots. I loved the change in scenery, from a cabin in the middle of the woods to an apartment building on the verge of falling apart.

(Credit: Variety)

The cold open was literally the best part, shoving people into the deep end and showing what’s to come. The story follows sisters Beth (Sullivan) and Ellie (Sutherland) as Ellie becomes possessed and begins to attack her sister and three children in their apartment. It was so suspenseful and insanely dramatic, to the point where it was laughable in the best way possible. Although, I’ll admit, the ending kind of lost me a little, I was willing to look past it thanks to the performances of the actors on screen. Overall, I say if you’re a fan of the first three Evil Dead movies starring Bruce Campbell, I highly recommend it. If you’re a fan of only the 2013 remake, I suggest going in with a bit of a warning that it is not as intense as the previous remake.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3 (Released May 5th)

(Credit: IMDb)

Starring: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan

Director: James Gunn

The end of a beautiful trilogy. Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 not only solidifies the fact that this is the best trilogy, but also Gunn’s reputation as the best director in the MCU. From the very beginning, Gunn perfectly captured the tone of the film, and didn’t let me go until the very end. The story revolves around Rocket (Bradley Cooper) suffering a deadly injury, where Peter (Pratt) and the other Guardians travel to save him.

(Credit: Space.com)

Throughout this movie, I was so anxious that someone was going to die, but to my surprise, Gunn didn’t kill anyone off. I adore this film so much, and while Gunn has left, I will hold this story and the other two in my heart forever. If you would like to read more about the Guardians from me, please go to my previous post!

The Little Mermaid (Released May 26th)

(Credit: Wikipedia)

Starring: Halle Bailey, Jonah Hauer-King, Daveed Diggs, Awkwafina

Director: Rob Marshall

Ah, the best Disney remake. Ariel has always been my favorite princess. I wasn’t born when the movie first came out, but coming from Hawai’i, I’m constantly surrounded by water, so how could I not have Ariel as my favorite princess? When I heard that they were remaking it for live action, I was excited. I was even more excited when they casted Bailey in the role.

(Credit: Screencrush)

Although I am not African American myself, I am a POC, and it made me so happy to see representation. I can see the joy in other girls' faces when they see Bailey performing as Ariel, and it brings a tear to my eye. I never had anything like that growing up and seeing them makes me so happy. If you would like to read more about The Little Mermaid, please read my post below.

Spider Man: Across the Spider Verse (Released June 2nd)

(Credit: IMDb)

Starring: Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Brain Tyler Henry, Lauren Vélez

Director(s): Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson

The sequel to the highly praised Spider Verse movie has finally been released this year, and it does not disappoint. First off, addressing something in the room, although it is a Part One to another movie, this is a full movie, and it does end on a cliffhanger, but it has an ending! This movie tries to pack so much into its runtime, that I’m surprised it even accomplished being a complete movie! It builds off of everything that happened in ‘Into the Spiderverse’, building off of characters like Gwen and Peter B. Parker, while also making us care about new characters, like Spider Punk and Spider-Man India.

(Credit: Polygon)

This might be pretty contriversial, but I am not a fan of Spider-Man 2099, he’s too much of an asshole for me to care about him. The only saving grace is that he’s played by Oscar Isaac. Also, Jason Schwartzman as the villain was surprisingly amazing, and his origin story is hilarious. All in all, an excellent sequel that leaves me dying for more!

Elemental (Released June 16th)

(Credit: Disney Movies)

Starring: Leah Lewis, Mamoudou Athie, Ronnie del Carmen, Shila Ommi

Director: Peter Sohn

Pixar is still releasing bangers, with Elemental being added to the list. First off, the trailers did this movie a HUGE disservice! It sold it as some whimsical world where elements live together in harmony, but it is a retelling of Sohn’s life story told through the eyes of Ember (Lewis). It is emotional, and it hits me in a certain way, thanks to being raised with Asian parents.

(Credit: Los Angeles Times)

Ember and Wade (Athie) are both adorable in their own way, and I believe that people just saw this as a Zootopia rip off and decided not to go. It’s not!! They’re two different stories!! Please go ahead and watch it if you haven’t!! You will not be disappointed. With Pixar movies just being shoved into Disney+, Elemental deserves to be on the big screen.

With that, I’m ending the first part here! Thank you for reading, be on the lookout for Part Two and my review of The Iron Claw, coming out next week!

I mentioned how expert and exacting Chaz became in my care. Now I must tell you of her love. In the hospital, day after day, she was my staff of strength. In the rehabilitations she cheered me through every faltering step, and when I looked at a flight of three steps I was intended to climb, it was her will that helped me lift my feet. To visit a hospital is not pleasant. To do it hundreds of times is heroic.

The TV show was using “guest co-hosts” and Richard Roeper held down the fort. But after the first surgery failed and I nearly died, it must have been clear to her that my TV days were over. She never admitted it. She had faith, she encouraged me, her presence gave me strength. She brought my friends to see me. Studs Terkel came several times. Father Andrew Greeley was cheerful and optimistic. She brought McHugh and Mary Jo, Gregory Nava, Jon and Pamela Anderson, the mayor’s wife Maggie Daley, the actress Bonnie Hunt (who had once been an oncology nurse at Northwestern). Chaz had become friends with the healer Caroline Myss, and brought her to my bedside to evoke positive thoughts. I did not and do not believe in that kind of healing, but I see only good in the feelings it can engender. I am no longer religious, but every single day Chaz took my hand before she left and recited the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer, and from this I took great comfort.

After I was allowed to return home for the first time, Chaz decided I was ready for the Pritikin Longevity Center near Miami. We’d been going to Pritikin, first in Santa Monica and then Florida, since before we were married, and their theories about diet and exercise became gospel to me (sometimes more in the breach than the observance). I had for years been an enthusiastic walker, but now, after rehabilitation, I was using a stroller and it was slow going.

I couldn’t eat the largely vegetarian diet at Pritikin, but Chaz knew the cooks would blend a liquid diet to supplement my cans of nutrition. She also informed me that I was going to walk, exercise, and get a lot of sunshine. Because it was painful to sit in most chairs, Pritikin found me a reclining chair that faced a big TV. I had brought along a pile of books. I cracked open the sliding doors and a fragrant breeze came in, and I would have been completely content to stay there just like that. It was not to be. Chaz ordered me on my feet for morning and afternoon walks, with my caregivers trailing along behind me with a wheelchair. I’d go as far as I thought I could, and Chaz would unfailingly pick out a farther goal to aim for. She was relentless.

In the gym everyday I cranked through 20 minutes on the treadmill and then worked out with weights and exercise bands. After the gym she took me outside to sit in the sun for half an hour. She explained how natural Vitamin D would help strengthen my bones, which were weakened during the muscular degeneration of weeks of post-surgical bed rest. I resented her unceasing encouragement. I was lazy. It was ever so much preferable to sit and read. But she was making me do the right thing.

She did it all over again after my next three tours through the Rehabilitation Institute. Four times I learned to walk again, and each time she took me to Pritikin or Rancho La Puerta in Tecate, Mexico, which I had grown to love. I parked the wheelchair for good, I was no longer using a stroller, I was walking, not quickly or for miles, but walking. And getting Vitamin D. At home, we took walks around the neighborhood and down to the Lily Pond in Lincoln Park. We began to go to all the screenings again. She found Dr. Mark Baker, an exercise therapist, to regularly work with me.

It must not have been the most pleasant thing in the world to trail along as I walked slowly. She must have wished we could still be taking our trips overseas. When she thought I was ready for it, she took me back to London and Cannes, and every autumn to the Toronto festival. I know that left on my own I would have stayed at home in my favorite Relax-the-Back chair. That I am still active, going places, moving, in good health, is directly because of her.

We planned all along to produce a show that would continue the Siskel & Ebert & Roeper tradition. Chaz did all the heavy lifting, the negotiations, the contracts. We were going to be the co-producers, but I told her she was born for the job. She repeatedly told me I needed to appear more on the show, even with my computer voice. My instinct was to guard myself. I can never be on television as I once was. She said, “yes, but people are interested in what you have to say, not in how you say it.” The point is not which of us in correct. The point is that she’s encouraging me. She has more faith in me than I do.

I sensed from the first that Chaz was the woman I would marry, and I know after 20 years that my feelings were true. She has been with me in sickness and in health, certainly far more sickness than we could have anticipated. I will be with her, strengthened by her example. She continues to make my life possible, and her presence fills me with love and a deep security. That’s what a marriage is for. Now I know.

Die ganze Bandbreite des Kinos – Maigret (Bel/F 2023) und Dungeons & Dragons. Ehre unter Dieben (USA/Kanada 2023)

Das Kinoprogramm bietet immer die Möglichkeit starke Kontraste direkt oder dosiert zu erleben. Gänzlich gegensätzliche Produktionen scheinen die neue Dungeons & Dragons-Verfilmung und eine neue Kommissar Maigret-Adaption mit Gérard Depardieu zu sein. Auf dem Papier haben sie auch gänzlich abweichende potentielle Zuschauergruppen. Doch eine Verbindung zwischen den beiden Werken ist, dass es neue Verfilmungen bereits adaptierter Stoffe sind und prominente Darsteller (in ihren jeweiligen Kerngenres) mit von der Partie sind. Das prägende Pen-and-Paper-Rollenspiel D&D wurde in den 1980ern parallel zur Einführung der deutschen Übersetzung des Spieles 1983 bereits als Animationsfilm adaptiert, in den 2000ern folgten zwei reale Verfilmungen mit eher mäßigem Erfolg. Georges Simenon Maigret-Reihe wiederum wurde zuletzt mit Rowan Atkinson in einer überraschend ernsten Rolle produziert, wobei die vier zwischen 2016 und 2017 entstandenen Filme besonders mit einem aufwändig inszenierten Zeitkolorit überzeugen konnten. Seit 1960 schlüpften mehr als 30 Darsteller in die Rolle des Maigret und es wurden Serien von Großbritannien, Frankreich, Italien, den Niederlanden und auch Japan produziert. Unter den Darstellern ist hier auch Michael Gambon zu finden, der neben Atkinson prominenteste Maigret-Mime. Insgesamt überwiegen aber die Unterschiede: D&D wurde 1974 erstmals auf den Markt geworfen, ist ein Spiel mit prägendem Charakter für eine ganze Reihe an „Pen-and-Paper-Rollenspielen“ und ein fester Bestandteil der nerdigen Populärkultur, wie sie in The Big Bang Theory beispielhaft versammelt gezeigt wird. Die Krimis über Maigret sind zwischen den 1920ern und 1950er Jahren verfasst worden. Es sind klassische Detektivgeschichten und vor allem sind es auf den Alltag ausgerichtete Bücher ohne große dramatische Handlungen, kein spannungsgeladenes Konstrukt mit Fokus auf Magie und körperliche Kämpfe. Eine Gemeinsamkeit haben die beiden Themen allerdings: Fantasyspiel und Krimi gehören zunächst zu einer Nischenkultur - mit gesellschaftlich in den Anfängen eher problematischen Stand. D&D ist für Fans und die Personen, die heute als Nerds anerkannt sind entwickelt worden, für Träumer und Fantasten, die in andere Charaktere schlüpfen und zumindest im Geiste Schlachten kämpfen und Magie wirken wollen. Die Eltern der ersten Spielergeneration fürchteten das Gewaltpotential und die Magie. Maigret wurde als Hauptfigur von Groschenromanen entwickelt, ein Sammelsurium aus billig produzierter Ware mir erotischen Inhalten, Horrorelementen, Science-Fiction-Geschichten, Western und zwischen Genres stehende Fiktionen, darunter auch Krimis. Abgesehen von dem schlechten Image birgt dieser Fundus auch spannende bis äußerst intelligente Inhalte. Quentin Tarantino ist einer der prominentesten Verteidiger dieser für ihn prägenden Hefte, welchen er mit Pulp Fiction auch filmisch ein Denkmal gesetzt hat. Doch nun zu den genannten Filmen:

John Francis Daley hat mit Dungeons & Dragons. Ehre unter Dieben einen Film über eine sympathische Heldengruppe ganz ohne ausgewiesenen Dieb vorgelegt, welcher gerade deshalb überzeugt, weil er den Zufallscharakter des würfelbasierten Spiels gut überträgt und die Gruppendynamik in den Fokus nimmt. Der ehemalige Harfner Edgin (Chris Pine) und seine langjährige Freundin, die starke Kämpferin Holga (Michelle Rodriguez), scharen nach ihrer listreichen Flucht aus dem Gefängnis eine illustre Truppe um sich: Simon, ein Magier, der völlig frei von Selbstbewusstsein ist (Justice Smith) und eine alte Bekannte von ihm, die ausgestoßene, bei Waldelfen untergekommene Druidin Doric (Sophia Lilis). Trotz seiner ständigen Beteuerungen, dass Magie nicht immer alles richten kann, spielt er doch eine sehr bedeutende Rolle für den Erfolg – und ist zugleich für einige Fehler verantwortlich. Auf ihrem Weg hilft ihnen der diplomatische Paladin Xenk Yendar (Regé-Jean Page). Dafür muss Edgin seinen Groll gegen dessen Volk überwinden und beweist damit wieder, dass der Mensch und nicht seine Herkunft in diesem Spiel der Außenseiter zählt. Am Ende müssen sie sich nicht nur ihrem alten Freund, dem Hochstapler Forge Fitzwilliam (Hugh Grant) stellen, sondern auch der mächtigen Magierin Sofina (Daisy Head). Diese will eine schreckliche Zeremonie vollenden und damit die Bevölkerung einer ganzen Stadt zu willenlosen Zombies machen. Witzigerweise werden ihre Opfer mit Gold fortgelockt und damit die Gier des Menschen mal zu etwas Gutem genutzt. Hugh Grant genießt sichtlich seinen zweiten Frühling als süffisant grinsenden Antagonisten wie er ihn schon in Gentlemen (Guy Ritchie; 2020) spielen durfte. Chris Pine trägt als Teamleader, Stratege und Motivator der Gruppe den größten Textanteil und die meiste Tragik in sich. Ausgehend von dem rein egoistischen Wunsch die Tochter des Barden zu befreien, werden die vier zu einer selbstlosen Heldengruppe und setzten ihr Leben für größere Ziele ein. Die Produktion verliert dabei aber nie eine gewisse ironische Ebene und den Spaß an abstrusen Situationen, Unglücksfällen wie glücklichen Zufällen. Die Figuren sind keine klassischen Gewinner, sonder eigentlich gescheiterte Existenzen. Das macht sie letztlich sympathisch. Besonders eindrucksvolle Unglücksmomente sind eine frühzeitig zerstörte Brücke und ein Drache, der sich nur mit Garfield vergleichen lässt. Ein Film der Spaß macht, kurzweilig ist und gerade in den Dialogen mit markigen Sprüchen aufwartet, ohne dass diese schon zu deutlich platziert wären (wie in einigen MCU-Beiträgen der letzten Zeit). Dazwischen singen Edgin und Holga beseelte Trinklieder, wobei die Musik insgesamt etwas zu sehr dem rein imaginierten Mittelaltersound der Fantasywelt entspricht. Dungeons & Dragons bietet neben Verliesen und Drachen viel Magie, angemessen billig inszenierte Kampfszenen, Dialoge mit Toten, eine dramatische Lebensschilderung vor einem Gericht und vor allem viel Spaß am leichten Humor, von allen Darstellern überzeugend mitgetragen, ohne die festen Rollengerüste des Spiels zu verlassen.

Ganz gegensätzlich verhält sich die französisch-belgische Produktion Maigret (et la jeune morte) von Patrice Leconte mit dem massigen Gérard Depardieu als antriebslosem und kurzatmigen Kommissar auf der Suche nach dem Mörder eines jungen, unbekannten und mittellosen Mädchens. Die Buchvorlage stammt aus dem Jahr 1957, das Paris des Films ist zeitlos und vor allem schmucklos. Die Stadt ist dunkel, schmutzig und voller identitätsloser Mädchen ohne Arbeit sowie mit schnell schwindender Hoffnung auf das glamouröse Leben der Reichen und Schönen verbunden. Dieses lässt sich allerdings mit geliehener Abendgarderobe punktuell vortäuschen, was eigentlich einer Selbsttäuschung entspricht. Die Welt der sorglosen Reichen kommt aber im auffallend stillen, langsam gedrehten und mit Andeutungen arbeitenden Film nicht vor. Selbst die Familie des Verlobten der Freundin des Opfers ist allenfalls dem normalen Bürgertum zuzuordnen, das Hochzeitsfest scheint hier schon etwas über ihren Möglichkeiten zu liegen. Alle auftretenden Figuren haben angedeutete Abgründe zu verbergen, die aber nicht gezeigt werden und der Vorstellung des Zuschauers überlassen bleiben. Das etwas zu enge Verhältnis des Verlobten zu seiner Mutter und das von Maigret explizit nicht verurteilte indirekte Sexleben des Paares sowie Maigrets Versuch die eigene verstorbene Tochter mit einem der unzähligen geschlagenen Mädchen aus Paris zu ersetzen sind hier die auffälligsten Nebenschauplätze. Depardieu spielt den Maigret als nach außen hin kalten, aber herzensguten Menschenkenner, der weniger durch Indizien als durch Einfühlungsvermögen zum Ziel seiner Ermittlungen kommt. Mit den Erkenntnissen steigt auch seine Laune (ein wenig) und so zeigt er sich am Ende doch mit der charakteristischen Pfeife. Doch auch wenn zuhause die Ehefrau wartet, geht er am Ende allein die Straße entlang und entschwindet plötzlich aus dem Bild. Dieser stille Kommentar ist das genaue Gegenteil einer Heldenwerdung und dem Einsatz für das Große. Es ist das ganz Kleine, Alltägliche was gezeigt wird und die Rolle des Kommissars ist nicht vordergründig oder nur mit einem bestimmten Mann zu füllen. Die Arbeit Maigrets findet unbeachtet von der Gesellschaft und der Stadt statt, er erhält keine Ehrenauszeichnungen oder verschworene Freunde, sondern einzig die Hoffnung, ein weiteres Mädchen vor den Gefahren der Großstadt bewahrt zu haben. Ganz im Gegensatz zu dieser Absicht steht leider die Marke Dépardieu, dessen Gesicht nur schwer zu Spielfläche eines Charakters gemacht werden kann. Leider ist dieser kleine (und doch so große) Kosmos in einigen Momenten etwas zäh inszeniert, die dunklen Räumlichkeiten mögen den Seelenstatus des Ermittlers, des Opfers und der Stadt an sich treffen, machen es aber etwas schwer konzentriert dabei zu bleiben. Die Produktion mit der Musik von Bruno Coulais (Die Kinder des Mr. Mathieu) ist derart reduziert, dass sie die volle, wache Aufmerksamkeit des Zuschauers verlangt und in dieser Hinsicht eine große Anforderung stellt. Dabei gelingt die Inszenierung von Paris nicht vollends überzeugend und neben Dépardieu spielt vor allem seine Interaktion und Zusammenarbeit mit einem symbolischen Mädchen an seiner Seite eine bedeutende Rolle für das Gelingen des Konzepts. Die Inszenierung des Schönen hätte auch ein etwas hübscheres Kleid vertragen können, aber das ist Geschmackssache. Vor allem benötigt dieser Film, anders als die große Leinwandschlacht Dungeons & Dragons, die große Leinwand eigentlich nicht. Er braucht vor allem ein waches Publikum mit einem aufmerksamen Blick für Details und kleine Äußerungen, ebenso wie es Maigret vorlebt.

Die beiden Produktionen zeigen im Zusammenspiel die mögliche Bandbreite der Kinoerfahrung und sind gerade in ihren Gegensätzen ein Beispiel für die Vielfalt im Kino. Leconte schwimmt bewusst gegen den Strom, während Daley mit popkulturellen Elementen innerhalb dieses Stroms arbeitet. Beide versuchen dem Charakter ihrer Vorlagen zu entsprechen und richten ihr Projekt nach diesen Maßstäben aus. Eine klare Filmautorensprache entwickelt sich dabei nicht, aber Lecontes Produktion ist sicher gerade wegen des fehlenden Tempos auffällig. Der Detektivroman beweist damit eine beeindruckende Stärke im Kino - auch fernab von Sherlock Holmes-Adaptionen und Hercule Poirot-Filmen von und mit Kenneth Branagh. Beide Produktionen haben den Druck von Fans und deren Erwartungen hinter sich, für Daley sicherlich die beängstigendere Situation die er mit einer Fokussierung auf einen runden, gelungenen Film gut begegnet ist. Zu starker Fanservice führt zu dauerhaften Drehbuch-Zirkulationen wie in Star Wars 7 bis 9 zuletzt zu erleben war. Leider hat die Rezeption der etwas mutigeren neuen Star Trek-Filme gezeigt, dass die Mehrheit neue Ideen in solchen „Franchise“ nicht so gut aufnimmt. Und damit gibt es eine weiter Gemeinsamkeit zwischen den beiden Produktionen: sie sind mit Eigenwillen gedreht und in ihren Genres zu verortende Produkte mit eigenen Ecken - und starken Protagonisten auf der Leinwand wie vor der Kamera. Daley bietet direkte Unterhaltung, Leconte bietet einen mit dem Nachdenken über seine Mechanismen und Merkmale wachsenden Film mit weiter reichenden Gedanken und Aussagen über unsere Welt, während sein Kollege sich gerade in ablenkende Traumwelten zu flüchten scheint, die aber auch Aussagen über die reale Welt treffen und ihre Mängel auszugleichen suchen. Beide Aspekte braucht das Kino und der Zuschauer: Unterhaltung und Anforderung, Bilderorgien und visuelle Detailarbeit, starke und dezente Emotionen sowie vor allem tragfähige Geschichten mit treffender visueller Repräsentation wie auf die Vorstellungskraft angewiesene handlungsarmen Entwicklungen. Ebenso wie in der Literatur bieten ausgewiesene Genre-Arbeiten wie Mischungen zwischen Inhalten dieser Schubladen (negativ gelesen) viele Möglichkeiten – und das zeigt sich auch in zwei insgesamt eher mittelmäßigen aber individuell funktionierenden Produktionen.
