Count Five and Die is a neat British-made programmer set just before the D-Day invasion. Nigel Patrick plays a British major who heads a group of special agents, dedicated to misleading the Nazis into thinking the invasion will take place in Holland. The Allied spies, which include American Jeffrey Hunter and Frenchwoman Annemarie Duringer operate under cover as the owners of a documentary filmmaking firm. The plan is nearly destroyed when one of the spies turns out to be a Nazi agent. The title Count Five and Die refers to the length of time its takes for the traditional cyanide capsules (always doled out to secret agents in films of this nature) to take effect.Read More »

Here are some information in English on the director of this film from a Canadian newspaper in 1981:
Synopsis:
Daniel Schmid’s actual first feature, made during his (later abandoned) studies at the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (DFFB), is an attempt at an unusual horror film: A little girl asks an older lady to buy her a cinema ticket. They discover that their names are both Miriam. The precocious girl forces her way into the lady’s flat at night and demands a snack and presents. When the impudent child wants to move in with her the next day, the lady asks her neighbours for help.Read More »

Through his video installations, Omer Fast has focused on the recreation of all kinds of existing footage in order to suggest the power and limitations of art to interpret memory and history. So it’s fitting that his first fiction feature is an adaptation of Tom McCarthy’s 2005 novel Remainder, which revolves around an unnamed Londoner who becomes obsessed with reconstructing events from the past he barely remembers. The film, which proffers a Memento-like mystery with a twist seemingly out of Synecdoche, New York, is Fast’s depiction of a man’s war against the fog of his traumatized mind.Read More »
