Cinema Tips from Neustadt on September 18, 2025
In the world of cinema, Thalia offers a unique blend of history, mystery, and emotion with its latest release, "Thalia: Look into the Sun". The film tells a captivating tale of four women from different eras, each living on an isolated farm in the Altmark. The women are Alma, Erika, Angelika, and Nelly, each grappling with unspoken fears, repressed traumas, and buried secrets related to the farm.
One of the women, Erika, becomes dangerously fascinated with her injured uncle, while Nelly is haunted by intense dreams and the unconscious burden of the past. Alma believes she must follow the same fate as her deceased sister, and Angelika struggles between death wish and life hunger, trapped in a fragile family system.
The film consists almost entirely of close-ups and unmade-up faces, providing a raw and intimate portrayal of these complex characters. The narrative unfolds smoothly, transitioning seamlessly from one era to another, creating a rich tapestry of human emotion and resilience.
Meanwhile, in a different era and setting, the film "Schauburg, Federal Premiere: Leibniz - Chronicles of a Lost Painting" takes us to 1704 Prussia. Queen Charlotte commissions a painting of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, a renowned philosopher and mathematician. An intense exchange about the relationship between art and reality unfolds between Aaltje and Leibniz, adding a layer of intellectual intrigue to the film.
Leibniz finds portrait sittings with the painter Aaltje van de Meer challenging, reflecting the complexities of the human spirit and the struggle to capture it on canvas. The film offers a fascinating exploration of the intersection of art, history, and philosophy.
In another corner of the cinematic world, we find Remo Manfredini, a jockey surrounded by underworld and glamour, but whose life off the racetrack is marked by alcohol, drugs, and existential despair. His mounting debts to the mafia threaten to destroy everything, and his relationship with his pregnant girlfriend offers him no support.
The film "Schauburg, Nationwide Release: Miroirs No. 3" tells the story of Laura, a music student who survives a car accident miraculously unharmed. She stays with a family named Betty, Richard, and Max on the outskirts of Berlin and feels a deep, unspoken pain that connects the family members.
The film "Thalia: Look into the Sun" marks a significant milestone, as it was first brought to cinema for the first time in 1928 by Carl Theodor Dreyer. The most expensive film set of French cinema up to that point was built, although it is not shown in the film itself.
In a separate narrative, we encounter Thomas, freshly released from prison, who thinks he's hit the jackpot when he inherits a house. However, his half-brother already lives there and refuses to move out.
Finally, it's worth noting the historical significance of Johanna, who was canonized by Pope Benedict XV in 1920 after 500 years. Her story adds a touch of spirituality to the diverse range of tales presented in the world of Thalia.
Each of these films offers a unique perspective, exploring various aspects of the human experience with depth, emotion, and intrigue. Whether you're drawn to the historical, the philosophical, or the personal, there's a Thalia film waiting to capture your imagination.
