Rent Basketball Courts New Jersey

Viennale: curling


in the audience discussion after the screening of his film in the cinema led gardening, the extremely likeable Denis Côté from what he was getting in filmmaking - namely, about making movies, which arise from their reading. and that in each head again. in another way, because other habits reception aptly evoking fantasies or other ... why his movies are exclusively concerned with the present. No flashbacks, no narrative punch or-volt, dramatic tricks. This logic is inherent in a principled openness - and in all directions: forward and back, open right in the middle episodes. nothing is brought to an end, can be end be brought. nothing is self-explanatory but it is about mood, a setting to move to something, never about anything.

curling in a father give his daughter some 12 years of the setting. they live somewhere in Canada, somewhat away from the resort. on a highway, where cars drive by every now and then. around fields and forests, snow-covered. the father does maintenance work in a bowling hall and a cleaner in a motel. his daughter, he tries to think of the environment largely to far away, so he taught them at home. He speaks of evil out there. One day, the daughter of a pile of corpses in the adjacent forest - after first running away, she goes again to (their) balance, makes friends with them. the father takes on the way home on the street a child who was hit. he brings the car home. when he arrives is to bring this motion died two encounters in the frozen microstructure of father and daughter make things needed to change ...

coté can with the time settings, it has no hurry.

Viennale: Meek's cutoff

Kelly Reichardt uses the genre against itself: the setting - provided with all the genre-typical ingredients - is easily explained. three families of settlers and their scout Meeks (based on a historically verifiable figure), who speaks in favor of the legendary Oregon Trail an abbreviation leave are on the way to the west.

which basically everything is explained. It is reichardt the presentation of this lost one - and the impact on this common destiny: after a few days without water, the settlers anxious - to the capabilities of the scouts are logged doubt. then even as an Indian shows up, the meeks captures with a settlers, differ on how to proceed with him, Meeks wants to kill him immediately, the settlers rely on its local knowledge and can lead him on. however, the fear that the Indians could lead to an ambush, always present. what the psychological film is a structural crisis: the women at the beginning of the film are some steps fro behind the venture, which - if the men advise on further action - wait in the background and ask themselves to decide what will be tone - in the literal sense to take the reins ...

in this new world, because - not where a gold fund in view of existing water-nothing matters must be reconsidered old power structures, Authorities questioned and loyalties are redefined. Reichardt delivers a dense, very gently stretch over long incredibly quiet portrait of these survive in the absolute barrenness around the struggling company.
