The Ugly Swans

The Ugly Swans

Gadkie lebedi

dir. Konstantin Lopushansky

, 2006 - 105

A philosophical parable, a mystical thriller about a ghost town in a remote part of Siberia, where the climate changes without any obvious reason. The town, constantly flooded with rain, is home to a boarding school for gifted children. The young people who grow up there are frightfully strange, taught by creatures called “mokretsy” - mutants of humans, the “ugly swans” of the title. Infinite commissions, special services and agents investigate this anomaly. The film's hero, the writer Victor Banev, is compelled to conduct his own investigation of the situation, because his daughter is among the children of the boarding school. Banev participates in the struggle not only because of the children's fate… An adaptation of The Ugly Swans, the cult novel by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

dir. Larry Charles

USA, 2006 - 82

An outrageous show by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. A mockumentary about Borat, Kazakhstan's “sixth most famous man” and a journalist from the state-run TV network, on his journey to learn about American life at the source, for the benefit of his own glorious nation. Accompanied by his obese producer, Borat chases unsuspecting New Yorkers in the streets for kisses - the traditional greeting in his homeland. He also encounters his true love, CJ Parker, the character played by Pamela Anderson on TV's “Baywatch”. He plans to marry this goddess Kazakhstani style (which involves a burlap bag). Lewd and crude, this is the work of a brilliant social satirist, a dramatic demonstration of how racism feeds on dumb conformity as much as rabid bigotry.

Valerie

dir. Birgit Möller

Germany, 2006 - 84

Right before Christmas the once successful model Valerie (an excellent Agata Buzek) ends up in Berlin. She still has a room at the exclusive Hyatt Hotel, but she’s completely broke and without any prospects. Valerie is unable to deal with her tragic new situation. She doesn’t tell her friend, nor the boss of her agency, nor even her rich benefactor Isenberg about her dire situation. Leaving the hotel, she doesn’t even have the money to pay for the parking lot in the basement garage. From that point on, she starts a double life, spending the nights in her car and living like a stowaway in the world of the rich and beautiful. She can only break free through her friendship with the parking lot guard Andre. Featuring Birol Ünel as a well-known photographer.

The Lives of Others

The Lives of Others

Das Leben der Anderen

dir. Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck

Germany, 2006 - 137

East Berlin, November 1984. Five years before its downfall, the East German government ensures its claim to power with a ruthless system of control and surveillance. Party loyalist Captain Gerd Wiesler hopes to boost his career. He has been given the job of collecting evidence against the playwright Georg Dreyman and his girlfriend, the celebrated theatre actress Christa-Maria Sieland. The immersion in their lives makes Wiesler acutely aware of the meagreness of his own existence and opens to him a completely new way of life which he has ever more trouble resisting. An intensely gripping thriller and moving love story featuring some of Germany's most internationally celebrated actors. Best picture of the year in Germany.
