Sixty Nine Games of Love

1968

Komplizinnen poster
7.0

This film was made in the Vierlande prison and tells the story of what it is like to be imprisoned. Nothing is explained; only fragments are visible, which slowly come together. A gaze that often cannot believe what it sees, that "does not trust its eyes."

Komplizinnen

1987

Der Menschenfresser poster
3.7

A crime writer on a train to Berlin shares her compartment with a mysterious man who claims to be a cannibal. Initially intrigued, she tries to humorously dismiss his claim while her imagination sparks a new novel featuring Detective Rosa Roth, who investigates a similar case. As the journey progresses, the writer’s confidence fades, replaced by fear and mistrust. The man’s behaviour becomes more unsettling, especially after a young girl reports inappropriate comments from him. In the dining car, he claims to have eaten a fellow passenger and reveals his tools are nearby. Despite her fear, the writer is drawn to learn more about his methods, blurring the lines between her novel and reality. Ultimately, her fantasy merges with reality, leading to dire consequences.

The Followers poster
10.0

Combining archival footage with dramatized episodes based on real accounts, this film examines everyday life in Nazi Germany through the experiences of ordinary citizens. Directed by Eberhard Itzenplitz and Erwin Leiser, it traces how conformity, opportunism, fear, and routine compromise drew “ordinary” men and women into complicity with the regime, revealing the banality of evil at work in daily life.

The country estate of American emigre Abel Bellamy is haunted by the ghost of the Green Archer, a 14th century Robin Hood type figure who terrorised the former lords of the manor.

Who is he and what does he want?

Oh My God, Willi! poster
6.2

Willi Böck never wanted trouble—he just wanted a quiet life. But when his clumsy antics and well-meaning schemes go hilariously wrong, chaos follows at every turn. From workplace disasters to personal mishaps, Willi's life is a rollercoaster of misunderstandings, slapstick, and pure comedic gold. Can he ever catch a break, or is he doomed to be his own worst enemy?

Meier poster
5.4

Meier, a paperhanger in East Berlin, inherits from his father in West Berlin. With this money he wants to fulfil himself the dream of his life: a journey around the world. He buys a forged West German passport and pretends to go on a trip to Bulgaria while he really is off to see the free world. When he wants to return to East Berlin he finds himself in an unbelievable predicament and his double life begins. He can't keep away from his East German friends. As with all the best comedies, the action builds up to an eventual crisis. It's a light comedy, which won several national Film Academy Awards. The film is very political, with lots of political jokes/innuendos which only Germans will understand. One is left feeling what a total obscenity that stupid Wall was, dividing one people for 30 years (1-2 Generations) simply by the coincidence on where you just happen to be in the early morning on the 13th August 1961.
