His serene narration takes us inside the private lives of migrant families in different eras, from the beginnings of film to the present day. This new film from one of the great avant-garde directors is also a powerful tribute to a neglected genre.

When I went to visit the boys poster
NR

Time seems to stand still in southern Burgenland. Not only for the gentle tourism, but also for those men that Katrin Schlösser visits in her impressive documentary. The “buben” or “boys” of various ages referred to in the title tell of their work, everyday life, their families, and mainly about the changes that demands of them, a new image of masculinity. Of a transformation that they have to deal with.

A story about Hannah (Anna Åström), a young woman who is very shy on the outside, but whose inner world is deep, exciting and vibrant.

While at first Hannah enjoys the luxury, she starts to notice on each visit that Max (Stipe Erceg), the owner of the house, is excessively obsessed with his physical possessions. He has spent a lot of time to make sure that everything external meets the society’s standards that he has forgotten himself.

Having realised that, Hannah starts leaving hints for Max, so as to shake him out of the the everyday emptiness and make him focus on what is important.

For over twenty years, the grandmother of filmmaker Katharina Copony ran a military canteen in southern Styria. She, too, spent part of her childhood among soldiers preparing for war—just as her mother and her mother’s siblings had done before her. *In the Barracks* sketches a multigenerational portrait from a female perspective through brief fragments of memory. Personal experiences, narrated off-screen, and reenactments featuring child actors reconstruct, within the present-day context of barracks life, an extended family history spanning from the postwar period to the late 1970s. A film of memory narrated by a collective voice.

It is not inconceivable that a film about Sicily will have il mare (the sea) in its title, but why should it have la torta (the cake)? Yet this slightly cryptic title leads us straight into the world of Honetschläger. A world that is playful and cheerfully erudite and that places the so-called important and unimportant side-by-side without concern.
