Among the titles just added (of which twelve are world premieres) is also the opening film of the Panorama Special at the Friedrichstadt-Palast. Nanouk Leopold's Dutch-German co-production Boven is het stil (It's all so Quiet) gives a good impression of what makes European cinema so extraordinary: being unafraid to look into a person's soul, to describe the inner prison that we are perpetually struggling to break out of. Brilliant in his last role here is the recently deceased Jeroen Willems.
Also at the Friedrichstadt-Palast on February 8 is the previously announced entry from the USA, Don Jon's Addiction, directed by award-winning actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Between a carefree sex addiction and his fascination for his dream woman, Gordon-Levitt in the leading role shapes the process of becoming an adult in one's early thirties.
On Thursday February 7, the Panorama's main programme will open with an astonishing directorial debut from Georgia: In Chemi Sabnis Naketsi (A Fold in my Blanket), Zaza Rusadze uses a highly imaginative cinematic language to portray the friendship of two men in a culture undergoing change.
The premieres of the Panorama's main programme will be shown at CinemaxX 7. Panorama Special will again be screening at two venues, the Friedrichstadt-Palast and the Kino International.
The line-up of Panorama Dokumente will be announced in the next press release.
