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 13 @ 7:00 p.m.
EMMA’S GLUECK (Emma’s Bliss)
Dir. Sven Taddicken, 2006, 103 min., digital, German with English subtitles

Max is terminally ill and escapes from home. After a car accident, he winds up on the farm of the headstrong pig breeder Emma and learns that real happiness is closer than he thought.
