PORTUGUESE AFRICA, 1973. Slowly, we have plenty of time: the words of the Second Lieutenant to the small band of soldiers he commands. A land mine exploding on the forest track, the patrol lost in the forest. The death of a soldier, shots in the night. Involved in a war in which the enemy is never seen, the mud-splattered soldiers methodically carry out the final pilgrimage without bitterness or glory, the tame farewell of a generation to five centuries of Portuguese presence in Africa: a story of war.Read More »

Wolfgang “Wolli” Köhler is a Fassbinder-like character. A refugee from East Germany—yesterday, porn cinema owner and brothel manager, quoting readily from Marx and Lenin, he defines himself as “a Bolshevik pimp”, and today, a poet and painter—he is one of the atypical fi gures of the German economic miracle much appreciated by the author of Lola. His life course even includes the famous episode of the civil servant in love with a prostitute who is determinedly to set her on the right path. When talking of his fi lm, Gerd Kroske refers to Portrait of Jason.Read More »

The movie “Something completely different” from 1985 is Kirkvaag Trond, Knut Lystad Lars and Mjøen first and only full-length feature film. It’s about the boy Buffalo left on the stairs to the childless couple Bull. But Buffalo is not like other children. He can not withstand sunlight, garlic and crosses, and suffer from strong urge to bite, especially at full moon … Buffalo’s many disability leads to difficulties in most areas. But first and foremost, Buffalo problems with love. Svalbard is her name and it’s love at first sight. But fate and the defense makes them the ad, and a fateful meeting with a garlic pizza later, the hook on the door for Buffalo and Svalbard, to say nothing of the nail in the coffin … A typical Trond Kirkvaag – Knut Lystad – Lars Mjøen comedy spun around vampire movies and bloody social satire.Read More »
