Quote:
“An underground revolutionary group struggles against internal strife to stage urban guerilla attacks against a fictionalized fascist regime in the United States. Interspersed throughout the narrative are rhetorical sequences that explain the philosophy of radical action and restrain the melodrama inherent in the thriller genre.”

Quote:
An old man is kidnapped. His interrogation uncovers the biography of a mass muderer: The 80 years old man was a SS leader and responsible for the killing of thousands of people in Russia. He also “invented” an evil technique of eliminating political prisoners: the manipulated suicide. Thomas Harlan reconstructs the history of a burocratic muderer, he also develops a direct connection between the Nationalsocialism and the treatment of prisoners of the RAF terrorists in the Stuttgart isolation prison. Robert Kramer filmed the shooting of Harlan’s Wundkanal: Notre Nazidocuments a social experiment in which the children of Nazis and of victims meet a real culprit. The reality seems to be stronger that the fiction in Harlan’s film.

The post Thomas Harlan – Wundkanal (1984) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

An angry young man goes to Europe to find his father, a ’60s radical turned doctor in exile.

Doc lives on the edge of Europe where it imperceptibly slides over into the Third World. As a doctor, he knows that the illness he has contracted ten years before in war-torn Africa is getting worse. The diagnosis is cholera, but Doc Knows the disease’s real name: despair. His thoughts about his failed struggle for justice and ideals are drowned regularly in alcohol. On the other side of the world lives Jimmy, a speed-loving motorbike freak who, when his mother dies, finds a letter from Doc and discovers that his father, whom he thought was dead, is still alive. The encounter of the two men leads to a reappraisal of two worlds in opposition.

The post Robert Kramer – Walk the Walk (1996) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

The final film from expatriate American filmmaker Robert Kramer, who died in France in 1999. Kramer and collaborators tell the somber life story of Ben. After leaving his homeland as a youth, he is greeted in France by menial jobs in industry. In time, he opens a fruit market, finds a wife, fathers a child, and has it all come crashing down when he learns his mother is in danger back home. Upon his return to France, he finds his life in ruin.
Cities of the Plain introduces viewers to an old, blind Ben and never lets go. A collective spirit infuses Kramer’s storytelling from the opening credits, during which all the people who contributed to the making are thanked in egalitarian blocks of text. Excellent sound design and crafty use of black leader plunge the viewer into the current reality of Ben, the now-blind central character whose struggles upon arriving in France and later accomplishments as an adult are portrayed in flashbacks.
No effort is made to have the trio of actors playing the three “stages” of Ben match up. Youngest Ben looks distinctly Arab, middle Ben seems part Italian or Turkish, part North African, and older Ben — whose right pupil is missing, leaving an eerie white eye in an otherwise handsome face — looks European.”Striking and luminous visuals…consistently finds beauty in otherwise banal industrial landscapes” (Variety).
