- A research-based essay film, but also a very personal perspective on the history of socialist Yugoslavia, its dramatic end, and its recent transformation into a few democratic nation states.
- Twenty minutes into his mesmerizing, formally inventive portrait of the legendary Romanian writer Norman Manea-a survivor of the concentration camps as a child who escaped the Ceausescu regime in 1986 and now lives in the U.S.-René Frolke does what few cinematic biographers dare to do: put their subjects' texts on screen. The inclusion of a complete story from Manea, which we read piecemeal throughout, is just one of the many playful moves Frolke makes in this collage-like, ceaselessly surprising, and deeply moving film. A study of the day-to-day business of intellectual life (panels, book signings, interviews), Le Beau Danger is also a sensitive meditation on the experience of exile.
- A touching and observant portrait of an annual family gathering and the absurd odyssey the grandmother embarks on after her death.
- An essayistic exploration of love's various guises, considering different attempts at courtship, living together, and sustaining connections with people once they have died.
- Or is every day of life an event when one reaches 90, like the farmer, Willi Dettert, who anchors this beautiful reflective piece on the joys of life itself. Despite the impairments of age, Willi holds on fiercely to his independence among his chickens and plants, and in the company of his cat. Visitors come but we are caught up most in the slow, simple rhapsodies of everyday life itself that appear all the more precious with the sense that they might, fade away at any time?
- Re-enactments, improvisations and interviews with the Inhabitants of Algiers, Kythira Island and Athens.
- In October 2008, at the height of the economic crisis, the highest German statesman visits a University.
- Jürgen is cloakroom attendant at the beach and artist. An artist who never visited any academy. His mother, Edeltraud, recounts a journey that started a long time ago and has etched itself into the story of her life. And Günter, the father, is the silent background companion. Slowly the film feels its way through the lives of three people in the small town of Glücksburg. Father, Mother, Son. But was that really all? Layer by layer the film explores the delicate ramifications of their life paths. Against the backdrop of a small resort at the Baltic Sea, the portrait of a family emerges, who was once brought together by coincidence. But it was only due to their uncompromising decisions that these coincidences were transformed into an inseparable bond. Their stories are stories of families, dreams, traumas, set-backs and determination, and allow us an ever-changing glimpse of the lives of these three people. Just when the image is gaining clarity, it immediately appears blurry and new.
