Goethe - BLOCKBUSTERS are back!

June 8 through July 13

In addition to our yearly festival of new German films GERMAN CURRENTS (look forward to this fall !) , we are bringing back BLOCKBUSTERS, showcasing favorites of ours, which had not seen the exposure they deserve.
From the hilariously funny WER FRUEHER STIRBT to David Kross’ (The Reader) debut film KNALLHART to Christian Petzold’s (The State I’m In, Wolfsburg) YELLA: “This year’s BLOCKBUSTERS, once again, present an exquisite mix of genres, high entertainment value and “invaluable samplers of some of the most innovative and thoughtful cinema coming out of Europe today” (L.A. Weekly)

Monday July 6 @ 7:00 p.m.
PING PONG Dir. Matthias Luthardt, 2006, 89 min, digital, German with English subtitles
16-year-old Paul arrives unannounced at his uncle’s house. He is met by an idyllic family scene which has far less substance than it would first appear. The well-rehearsed act is quickly disrupted by the newcomer’s arrival.
