GERMAN MOVIE NIGHT

GHETTOKIDS

Time: 6:30 pm
Venue: Programme Hall, Goethe-Zentrum Hyderabad

About the film:
Ghettokids is the story of two foreign children in a socially explosive neighborhood in Munich. Christos lives with his mother and two brothers in extremely crowded quarters. He almost idolizes his older brother, Maikis. But his real home is the central station, where the occasional trick and petty theft puts a little cash in his pockets. Hanna, a new teacher, comes to their school and, after initial problems, realizes how important her work for the neighborhood is. The two brothers slowly begin to take interest and develop trust.

German Movie Day : Mahler on the Couch

We are happy to announce yet another exciting movie screening coming up soon:  

"Mahler on the Couch"

Where: Goethe-Zentrum Hyderabad

When: November 12th 11:15 am - 13:00 pm

This exuberant imagining of the real-life marriage of Gustav Mahler (Johannes Silberschneider) and his tempestuous wife Alma Schindler Mahler (the luminous Barbara Romaner) is a sensory feast of art, sex and celebrity in fin-de-siècle Vienna. Chafing under her agreement to give up her own musical ambitions, Alma seeks passion in the arms of the young, dashing architect Walter Gropius, which sends a tormented Mahler to Sigmund Freud for consultation. “Cameos” by Gustav Klimt and Max Burckhard. Moving and funny (the sessions with Freud are sly gems) the film is filled with Mahler’s sublime music conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen. Beautifully written and directed by Percy Adlon (Bagdad Café) and his son Felix Adlon.

Based on a true story. August 1910. Devastated and confused by the discovery that his beloved wife Alma is having an affair with Gropius, Mahler travels to Holland to consult with Sigmund Freud, who is on vacation in Leiden. Feeling humiliated and betrayed, Mahler initially refuses the couch, but when Freud wheels a camp bed into the room, he relents. Their encounter stretches into the night as Mahler vividly recounts his seduction of Alma, the beautiful darling of Vienna’s arts scene, their unexpected but passionate love affair and their eventual marital troubles. The next day, the two great men go their separate ways. Overjoyed with what he sees as his cure, Mahler travels to rejoin Alma.
