Quote:
A family man slowly becomes dangerously obsessive and paranoid in this grim Austrian drama that contains a graphically violent ending. As the story begins, George, an engineer who works at a science facility, has a normal happy life with his wife and kids. They are in the process of building a new house when George learns that a nearby chemical plant has been leaking dangerous gas into the air. This causes George to begin suffering from terrifying hallucinations. His paranoia increases every time he hears another report of violence, crime, war, or any other social problems on the news. After learning that his company may be overtaken by a larger corporation, George decides to send his family on an Italian vacation while he stays home and turns their apartment into a strange refuge from the terrible world he knows is coming.

The post Paulus Manker – Der Kopf des Mohren AKA The Moor’s Head (1995) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
Sebastian and Alex are two egocentric yuppies who stockpile underhanded up-skirt shots and bully others for their own amusement. On a night out they come across an inebriated man passed-out on a park bench and decide to prank him by smuggling him across the border.

Review:
A malicious young man of privilege plays a ghastly practical joke that results in a troubled alcoholic finding a kind of redemption in well-thesped, narratively ambitious drama “Slumming.” First dramatic feature in a decade from veteran documaker Michael Glawogger (“Megacities”), repping a return to Berlin competish by the Austrians after two decades, this is a provocative, finely crafted pic that becomes alarmingly disjointed in the last reels but casts enough of a spell to attract fests and arthouse distribs.
The vaguely condescending art of slumming has been buffed to a high gloss by Sebastian (August Diehl). Dead-eyed, idle rich twentysomething arranges online to meet women in dive bars in Vienna, then photographs them surreptitiously under the table and emails the photos to flatmate Alex (Michael Ostrowski) for their mutual amusement.

To spice things up, the two improvise elaborate pranks along the lines of locking unsuspecting customers in a cafe with stolen keys and having a bouquet of flowers sent to a blind club musician.

Meanwhile, wild-eyed street poet Kallmann (Paulus Manker) makes just enough money selling his tortured work to passersby — “my name is not fear, my name is angst,” goes one catchy phrase — to stay in drink.

The paths of these men, immensely angry in their own disparate ways, finally cross when Sebastian and Alex come across Kallmann passed out on a bench in front of the train station. With the increasingly reluctant Alex in tow, Sebastian drives across the Czech border and drops the inebriate in a remote burg.

Bulk of pic then crosscuts between newly-sober Kallmann’s attempts to negotiate the snowbound landscape back to Vienna and increasingly spooky Sebastian’s stalkerish wooing of restless teacher Pia (Pia Hierzegger). Revolted by news of the prank on Kallmann, Pia sets out on a Quixotic quest to find him.

Pic was co-written by Austrian helmer Barbara Albert, whose “Free Radicals” shares with Glawogger’s previous dramatic feature “Ant House” and many of his documentaries a fascination with the grim comedy of marginalized society.

Looking like a young Christopher Walken and Chrissie Hynde respectively, Diehl and Hierzegger communicate their malaise with dignity, while Ostrowski serves well as the initial voice of conscience. But it is Manker who earns hazard pay as the hapless Kallmann, finding strength to turn his life around with the help of some waterlogged garden gnomes and Czech farmers in pic’s most affecting sequences.

The post Michael Glawogger – Slumming (2006) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Two young characters in this story of rebellious youth are named after two Germans, brother and sister Hans and Sophie Scholl who were imprisoned and executed for their anti-Nazi stance during World War II. In this film, the rebels do not have such a clear-cut enemy but nevertheless, they cannot accept the way life is heading in Austria of the 1950s and they revolt by stealing, mugging, and trying out terrorist methods (bombs). Their future seems to be inexorably heading on a collision course with the forces that have “locked them out.”

The Year is 1980 and it’s Summer in Vienna

Most people outside of Austria will rarely get a chance to see this movie, but if you get a chance like this, don’t let it pass as you as you’re on for a real treat. ‘Exit’ is not just an Austrian cult movie, it’s a funny and at the same time disturbing and at times depressing look into Vienna in the 80’s. This is “the” movie parents in 1980’s Austria did not want their kids to see.

Viennese crook and would-be playboy Kirchhoff dreams of owning his own coffee house and having lots of beautiful women. In order to reach his goal, he is sometimes compelled to leave the straight and narrow.

Comedy, violence, sex and vandalism are the ingredients of this Austrian cult classic.

IMDB User Review:

Perhaps the most dynamic Viennese picture of the decade, 8 January 2007
9/10
Author: ruediger_vienna from Vienna, Austria

A guy having sex with a woman on a rooftop – just to get her coffee-machine. The opening sequence of Exit – “Don’t Panic” tells it all: Hanno Pöschl (his best movie appearance ever) stars as a young outskirt mug; stealing cars he just has one dream: his own coffee house. But tumbling through the Viennese underground, he is keeping himself busy with trouble…

This is quite the movie parents in 1980’s Austria did not want their kids to see. Violence, some nudity and very explicit language – which make the movie more than fairly entertaining.

Add a very young Paulus Manker and you get -9 points out of ten.
