4 Freunde und 4 Pfoten		791 Vie	There is no doubt what this movie is: a movie you can leave your kids watching alone. Nothing they shouldn't see, and nothing you (parents) should see. If you like stories for young school-age children, watch it. But be warned: a thin, completely predictable story, average acting, director just working for his money. Kids like we saw in hundreds of movies, dog as we saw in thousands... A typical German kids' movie. A detective/crime story suitable for their age. If you've let them already watch action movies like Speed, Matrix or James Bond don't bother with this one, they'll give up after five minutes. But if they have childhood like they should, and are not contaminated by Japanese violent cartoons, they'll most likely spend exciting 70 minutes. And let you do whatever you want to.	2003	Comedy	Gabriele Heberling	Inga Busch, Alexander Gaul, Edda Leesch	76min	German	VHS	5.1/10

By pure luck, Lucullus' first net traps both druid and Obelix's pet dog, so the giant and Asterix follow them by ship on the Atlantic, and crash after a storm on the North America coast in pursuit of the druid who was catapulted off the Roman galley before Lucullus triumphantly sets sails back for Europe.

Deutschland im Herbst	Germany in Autumn	791 DEU	Germany in Autumn was an unprecedented collective response by Germany’s leading directors and writers to the climate of political terrorism in their country during the late 1970’s. Throughout this decade, the Red Army Faction (RAF) - an outgrowth of the notorious Baader-Meinhof Group - had waged a campaign of terror against those in power, and the government’s escalating efforts to to rootout the terrorists had resulted in an virtual stage of siege by the autumn of 1977.	1977/78	Documentary	A.Brustellin, R.W.Fassbinder, V.

Deutschland im Herbst	Germany in Autumn	791 DEU	Germany in Autumn does not have a plot per se; it mixes documentary footage, along with standard movie scenes, to give the audience the mood of Germany during the late 1970s. The movie covers the two month time period during 1977 when a businessman was kidnapped, and later murdered, by the left-wing terrorists known as the RAF-Rote Armee Fraktion (Red Army Faction). The businessman had been kidnapped in an effort to secure the release of the orginal leaders of the RAF, also known as the Baader-Meinhof gang. When the kidnapping effort and a plane hijacking effort failed, the three most prominent leaders of the RAF, Andreas Baader, Gudrun Enslin, and Jean-Carl Raspe, all committed suicide in prison. It has become an article of faith within the left-wing community that these three were actually murdered by the state. The movie has several vignettes, including an extended set of scenes with the famous director Rainer Werner Fassbinder discussing his feelings about Germany's political situation at the time. Fassbinder's scenes almost seem to be candid documentary footage, but aren't. Other scenes include documentary footage of the joint funeral of Baader, Enslin, and Raspe.

Die Comedian Harmonists Sechs Lebensläufe		791 Com	I do not know if this documentary is available on video, or even DVD - not to mention outside Germany. But for those of us who are entirely thrilled by the Comedian Harmonists ("the German Revellers", as they were originally billed in the 1920s), the film is an indispensable experience. When it was made in 1976, four of the original members of the group were still alive to tell their story: bass Robert Biberti, spending a well-off pensioner's life in Berlin; pianist Erwin Bootz, making his living as a musician for TV productions etc.; baritone Roman Cycowski, then a cantor at a San Francisco synagogue and the last member of the group to die (in the late 1990s); and tenor Ari Leschnikoff, living in poverty in a run-down tenement in his native Sofia, Bulgaria. They, as well as close relatives and friends of the groups other two members, founder Harry Frommermann and Erich A. Collin, give a first-hand account of the origin, the rise and the demise of the group, including the bickering, rivalries and jealousies - and the nasty post-war litigation - among them. Viewers may find that though the restrictions put on the group by the Nazis (Frommermann, Collin and Cycowski were Jewish - though Collin only by Nazi definition) were certainly the main cause for their breakup, their clash of complex personalities (especially between genius arranger Frommermann and Biberti, who comes across as rather egocentric) might ultimately have led to the same result. What's left of them is some of the finest popular music ever produced, music which can still cheer you up or make you sad today just like it could 70 years ago. Through this documentary, we learn more about the personalities behind the music than we may ever know about most of today's pop stars. Even if the Harmonists' music is not to your liking, the history lesson that is taught by their biographies is worth watching.	1976	doumentary	Eberhard Fechner		3 hours

They, as well as close relatives and friends of the groups other two members, founder Harry Frommermann and Erich A. Collin, give a first-hand account of the origin, the rise and the demise of the group, including the bickering, rivalries and jealousies - and the nasty post-war litigation - among them. Viewers may find that though the restrictions put on the group by the Nazis (Frommermann, Collin and Cycowski were Jewish - though Collin only by Nazi definition) were certainly the main cause for their breakup, their clash of complex personalities (especially between genius arranger Frommermann and Biberti, who comes across as rather egocentric) might ultimately have led to the same result. What's left of them is some of the finest popular music ever produced, music which can still cheer you up or make you sad today just like it could 70 years ago. Through this documentary, we learn more about the personalities behind the music than we may ever know about most of today's pop stars. Even if the Harmonists' music is not to your liking, the history lesson that is taught by their biographies is worth watching.	1976	doumentary	Eberhard Fechner		3 hours
Die dritte Generation	The Third Generation	791 DRI	Highly controversial film made during the 2nd Generation of the violent left-wing West German group, Red Army Faction, speculates on what lay behind increased security and domestic terrorism in Germany. The first third of the movie plays as a comedy of the inside shenanigans of how such a group would behave. The movie's tone turns grim and critical when the group playfully kills a low-level banker in a robbery. Especially controversial was the fictional film's showing cooperation between German terrorists and industrialists. Fassbinder premiered the movie at Cannes, 1 month before the real RAF tried to assassinate NATO head Alexander Haig. At a later showing at a German film festival, outraged audience members stormed the projection booth and stopped the film.	1979	Comedy, Crime	Rainer Werner Fassbinder	Harry Baer, Hark Bohm, Margit Carstensen, Eddie Constantine, Jürgen Draeger	105		DVD

Fuehrer Ex		791 FU	Führer Ex is a challenging, harsh, and intensely involving tale of the course of friendship of two young lads living in the 'prison' of Communist East Germany in 1986. Based on fact (Ingo Hasselbach's book 'Die Abrechnng' adapted for the screen by Douglas Graham and director Winfried Bonengel), this story relates the changes that occur in the close friendship of two boys torn by the confinement of the East German Communists vs the Western freedom of West Germany and the countries not under Communist control. It informs us about that transition with the fall of the Berlin wall and the subsequent adjustment to the new form of life East Germans found beyond the crumbled wall.	2002	drama	Bonengel	Aaron Hildebrand, Christian Blümel, Jule Flierl, Detlef Kapplusch, Marco Schulz, Luci Van Org, Dennis Grabosch	105 minutes	German with English subtitles	German with English subtitles	Very violent!
