The idea is quite simple, and its simplicity doesn’t bother me at first glance. The title Sixty Minutes reminds me of movies like 88 Minutes, but the plot of this movie is not based on any bomb that has to be defused or a criminal has to be caught. The story of Sixty Minutes revolves around the life of an Mma fighter who has to decide whether to participate in his next fight or travel a fair distance and meet his daughter before 6 pm, which, if you are good at decoding movie titles, means that he has to make this choice at 5 pm.
The stakes of this movie are interesting and a little bit silly at the same time. If our Mma fighter doesn’t reach his daughter in time, then he might lose custody of her. Before you ask, there isn’t a court case going on; it’s just her birthday,...

"This is bigger than you think." Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a German race-against-the-clock thriller called Sixty Minutes (oder 60 Minuten auf Deutsch), arriving in January for streaming on Netflix. 60 Minutes is an action-packed race against time. Leading actor and multi-talent Emilio Sakraya lets his fists fly as mixed martial arts fighter Octavio. Mma fighter Octavio has one hour to make it to his daughter's birthday party across Berlin or he'll lose custody forever. To reach her in time he turns down an important fight, which puts him in a dangerous position with some even more dangerous people. Of course. Suddenly Octavio isn't only trapped in a ruthless race against time but also a chase through the entire city that pushes him to his limits. Also starring Dennis Mojen, Marie Mouroum, Paul Wollin, Aristo Luis, Morik Heydo, and Florian Schmidtke. This reminds me a lot of the Berlin classic Run Lola Run,...

Can a movie rescue two film-studio lovers who are separated by geopolitics? This crowdpleasing German romantic drama tells the tale
This German romantic drama – a handsome commercial for Studio Babelsberg, near Berlin, the world’s oldest major film studio, as well as for cinephilia in general – cheekily suggests that any dude off the street could direct a movie.
Strapping Dennis Mojen is Emil, a feckless East German soldier who, in 1961, is trying to blag work at what was then the state-owned Defa studio. He stumbles into sassy dancer Milou (Emilia Schüle), a stand-in for a big French diva currently in residence. Sparks are starting to fly when the Soviets throw a geopolitical hissy fit and – very rude of them – sunder the lovebirds with the Berlin Wall. Not so much The Lives of Others as The Lives of Extras.

Oliver Kienle's third film is a romantic comedy that proves once again that opposites attract. On 7 June, Oliver Kienle wrapped principal photography for his third feature, following Stronger Than Blood (2010) and Four Hands (2017): the romantic comedy Isi & Ossi is a Netflix title that was shot in one month in Berlin and Baden-Württemberg, as well as Mannheim and Heidelberg. The director penned the movie himself. The protagonists of this love story, played by Lisa Vicari and Dennis Mojen, are polar opposites: Isi is a billionaire’s daughter from Heidelberg, while Ossi is a struggling boxer from nearby Mannheim. When they meet, their first thought is that they can take advantage of each other: she dates him to provoke her parents and to get them to fund her dream to train as a chef in New York; he wants to rip off the rich girl to finance his first...

“Traumfabrik” marks the return of one of Germany’s most successful producers back onto the film stage in more ways than one.
A period-piece love letter to East Germany’s famed Defa film studios, now known as Studio Babelsberg, “Traumfabrik” is a romantic drama set in 1961 that follows a young studio extra’s ambitious efforts to reunite with the French girl he loves after being separated by the construction of the Berlin Wall.
It’s also the name of a new Studio Babelsberg shingle headed by veteran producer Tom Zickler and Christoph Fisser, Studio Babelsberg vice president and COO.
Zickler launched the joint venture in 2017 after nearly 20 years of working with actor-director Til Schweiger on some of Germany’s most successful films of the past two decades. Overseeing production at Barefoot Films and Mr. Brown Entertainment, Zickler produced such hits as 1997’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”; 2010’s “Friendship!” and 2014’s “Head Full of Honey.
