The international cinematic new wave came bursting into the Swiss cinema through the work of Michel Soutter, whose La lune avec les dents (The Moon with Teeth) became practically a manifesto of the movement. Michel Soutter was one of the first directors of New Swiss Cinema who has made fiction films and he cofounded the Groupe 5 with Tanner and Goretta. The film follows William, thirty-ish, out of work and looking for a new life after apparently having been thrown out of his previous one. He meets up with Noelle, who seems intrigued by his restlessness – until her economist boyfriend shows up. Yet plot details do little to convey the power of the film, which lay in its capturing the anarchic texture of William’s life – a life whose lack of direction was read as a rebuke of the Swiss myth of orderliness and self-satisfaction.Read More »

A rather disturbed young woman, who calls herself Jackie-O (Parker Posey), and pretends her brother, Marty, (Josh Hamilton) is JFK, is at home with mother (Geneviève Bujold) at their stately home, along with her two brothers, and Marty’s new fiancee, Lesly (Tori Spelling.)

What family secrets will we discover? How will Lesly react to her fiancee’s most unusual family? Are there yet darker secrets? Is their rather unconventional behavior contagious?

This absurd comedy has been a delight for many. I hope you enjoy it!Read More »

After many years apart, Emilie (26) meets her brother Jakob (22) again. She not only shares her sadness about the loss of their parents with him, but also a secret… It is Emilie’s wish to arrange the sale of their jointly inherited holiday house in the Swiss Alps. Unlike her brother, a professional skateboarder, she needs the money as a young entrepreneur. The family business, which she took over with her boyfriend Andreas (29), is heavily indebted. Emilie consciously retains a certain distance toward her brother, having successfully repressed her emotions toward him for many years. But his direct and unashamedly upfront behaviour gradually starts to undermine her cool façade. The vast and pristine alpine landscape affords the two an unaccustomed degree of freedom. The more Emilie suppresses reality, the more Jakob insists on a decision about their joint future. Emilie’s rationally-conducted relationship to Andreas and her deep affection for Jakob inevitably come into conflict.Read More »
