TITLE DETAILS

Mensch Kotschie

2010-03-18 · 96 min · Not rated

Drama · Comedy

A well-placed site manager and father slips into a midlife crisis and recalls promptly to a former lover. Satirical comedy that finds compelling cinematic narrative technique for the feeling of comprehensive alienation and emotional state of emergency worded precisely in images that make over room poetics, dramaturgy and color perspectivization experience the world of heroes transparent. The fact that the terseness is sometimes applied a little thick, weight to a minimum.

Locationista

LocationistaComedy

What happens when three women, each a "loser" by the world's standards, collide in a house they all hate for different reasons? Locationista is an off-beat dramedy about Nina, a nomad location scout with "roots floating flat in the air," Vika, a control-freak producer on the verge of a breakdown, and Lina, a fiery French homeowner abandoned after nine years of marriage. From anti-corporate manifestos and "shamanic dips" in green lakes to the harsh reality of indie filmmaking where peanuts and passion are the only currency, this film is a journey through the messy, absurd, and beautiful glory of finding oneself when there is no closure in sight. A visual experiment in embracing chaos, it explores the mathematician's paradox of human emotions—proving that when logic fails, shared vulnerability creates a new path.
