Germany on the screen
Nine internationally awarded German films will be screened at the Paragon Cineplex in Bangkok from May 23 to 28 as part of the “German Film Week 2017
Organised by Goethe-Institut Thailand and the Thai Film Archive, the films will be shown with both English and Thai subtitles.
The opening ceremony will take place May 22 at 6pm and will be joined by Thai movie star Apinya “Saipan” Sakuljaroensuk. The opening will be followed by the Thailand premiere of Maren Ade’s 2016 film “Toni Erdmann”. This father-daughter tragicomedy has received immense international praise and is also the winner of the European and the German film awards.
“Berlin Syndrome” which will be screened on May 23 and 26, will keep movie buffs on tenterhooks from beginning to end. It tells the story of Australian photojournalist Clare who happens to meet charismatic Andi during a short to Berlin. Mutually attracted to each other, they end up spending the night together. What at first appears to be the beginning of a romance, takes an unexpected, dark twist.
“Herbert”, showing on May 23 and 27, tells the emotionally stirring story of a terminally ill ex-boxer. The film has won several awards and has received very good reviews. The black and white film “Fritz Lang” screening on May 25 was shot with old techniques in an attempt to authentically depict the life of the great film director.
