Hallo Laserdisc- und DVD-Fans,
liebe Filmfreunde!
Herzlich willkommen zur neuesten Ausgabe unseres Newsletters. Wie bereits
versprochen gibt es dieses Mal ein
paar Bilder vom 5. Todd-AO 70mm
Filmfestival in Karlsruhe – natürlich
inklusive der Filmeinführungen unseres
Filmspezialisten Wolfram Hannemann.
Wer dieses Event also verpasst hat,
der kann sich ab Seite 6 einen kleinen
Eindruck vom Festival verschaffen.
Schneller und höher
Eine kürzlich in der FAZ (Frankfurter
Allgemeine Zeitung) abgedruckte Rezension zur neuen DVD- und Blu-ray
Edition von Disneys SCHNEEWITTCHEN ließ uns etwas schmunzeln, zeigt
diese doch deutlich, dass es Kollegen
gibt, die ganz offensichtlich ihre Hausaufgaben nicht gemacht haben. Zitat:
“...Erstaunlich allerdings, dass die
neue deutsche DVD-Fassung – im Gegensatz zur Bluray-Ausgabe – plötzlich
drei Minuten kürzer ist als die von
2001. Szenen fehlen keine, also muss
der Film in schnellerer Laufgeschwindigkeit kodiert worden sein.
Eine Begründung für dieses Verfahren
gibt es nicht, der Tonspur merkt man es
auch nicht an...” Derartige Äußerungen
sind eigentlich schon recht ärgerlich,
gibt es doch das PAL-System und die
daraus resultierende Filmbeschleunigung von 24 Bildern pro
Sekunde auf 25 Bilder pro Sekunde
schon seit fast 50 Jahren! Unwahr ist
auch die Behauptung, dass man es der
Tonspur nicht anmerkt. Die Beschleunigung der Filmkopie bei der Umspielung
auf ein PAL-Videoformat hat natürlich
auch eine Beschleunigung des Tons
zufolge, die sich letztendlich in einer
höheren Tonlage bemerkbar macht.
Zumindest für anspruchsvolle Konsumenten mit guten Ohren. Zwar gibt es
Korrekturmaschinen, die eine falsche
Tonhöhenlage korrigieren können,
doch an der schnelleren Geschwindigkeit ändern diese natürlich nichts. Und
dass alle Filmabtaststudios derartige
Geräte im Einsatz haben, ist stark anzuzweifeln. Erst recht jetzt, als uns während des Todd-AO-Festivals in Karlsruhe ein amerikanischer Gast ansprach,
der seit geraumer Zeit in Deutschland
LASER HOTLINE
arbeitet und sich schon viele PALDVDs gekauft hat. Als er sich vor kurzem endlich einen PAL-DVD-Player
zulegte, um seine erworbenen Schätze
zu sehen und zu hören, war er äußerst
frustriert, weil er feststellen musste,
dass mit dem Ton etwas nicht stimmte.
Alle Stimmen seien immer viel zu hoch!
Nachdem wir ihn über die PAL-Modalitäten aufgeklärt hatten, konnten wir ihn
immerhin damit beruhigen, dass zumindest die Blu-ray-Versionen dank 24pTechnik in richtiger Geschwindigkeit
und damit auch richtiger Tonhöhenlage
verfügbar gemacht werden.
Was uns bei der ganzen Misere schon
immer gestört hat, ist die Tatsache,
dass die DVD- und Blu-ray-Hersteller
nach wie vor noch nicht in der Lage
sind, die Laufzeitangaben auf den
Covern ordentlich anzugeben. Hier genügt es schlicht und ergreifend nicht,
eine Zahl zu nennen. Vielmehr müsste
hier grundsätzlich mit angegeben werden, worauf sich die Zahl bezieht (Abtastung mit 24 bzw. 25 Bilder pro Sekunde). Schwierig wird es natürlich
dann, wenn das PAL-Master durch
Normwandlung von einer NTSC-Quelle
entstanden ist. Ein unerschöpfliches
Thema!
In diesem Zusammenhang ist es natürlich nach wie vor ärgerlich, dass sehr
viele Kinos in Deutschland ihre Projektoren auf 25 Bilder pro Sekunde umgestellt haben. Dadurch kann das Personal natürlich etwas früher nach Hause
gehen, doch die zahlenden Kinobesucher bekommen nicht das zu hören, was
sich die Toningenieure bei der Mischung der Filme ausgedacht haben.
Und so dürften in Zukunft dann wohl
nur solche Filmfans den Ton so hören,
wie er gedacht war, die Filme auf
NTSC-DVDs bzw. Blu-rays goutieren.
Wir helfen Ihnen gerne dabei.

Happy Michaelween!
Pünktlich zum schaurigsten Tag des Jahres beglückt
(oder erschreckt) Michael Moore Filmgänger mit dem
gruseligsten aller Themen: der Wirtschaftskrise. Manche haben längst aufgehört, Moores poppige Dokumentarfilme zu gucken, auf sie wirkt der pfundige, laute
Amerikaner abschreckend. Viele in meinem Umkreis
gehören zu Michael-Moore-Verabscheuern. Zu manipulativ, zu vereinfachend, zu parteiisch, höre ich immer wieder. Ich persönlich freue mich auf die nächste filmische
Geisterbahnfahrt, zu der Moore diesmal einlädt: eine
Fahrt durch die amerikanischen Jauchekanäle der Krise
– “Capitalism: a Love Story”.
Was haben wir nicht versucht, diese Weltwirtschaftskrise zu erklären! Fernsehberichte, Dokumentationen, Artikel noch und nöcher. Von Bild bis zum Spiegel, alle haben sie sich damit beschäftigt. Und jetzt mal ganz ehrlich: können Sie mir erklären, wie es genau dazu gekommen ist? Ich hatte letztes Semester den
Wirtschaftsredakteur einer Wochenzeitung als Gastreferenten in einem meiner Kurse. Er hat Blasen und
Pfeile und Fabriken gezeichnet. Trotzdem waren wir alle
hinterher nicht viel schlauer. Ich kann Ihnen das Durcheinander sicher nicht erklären.
Und jetzt hat sich also Michael Moore, der Polemiker,
der Sache angenommen. Auch Moore wird uns nicht erklären können, was passiert ist. Doch darum geht es
ihm gar nicht. Moore ist mal wieder auf die Suche nach
Schuldigen gegangen und nach einfachen, klaren Antworten. Dass er diese nicht gefunden hat, zeigt schon
der Trailer. Das Prinzip der absoluten Schuldzuweisung,
mit der Moore unter anderem arbeitet, ist ein sehr amerikanisches. In unseren Breitengraden wirkt es bestenfalls polarisierend. Trotzdem ist es nicht falsch, einmal
an die Wall Street zu gehen, an Managertüren zu klopfen und den Bonusgierigen den Spiegel vorzuhalten.
Michael Moore ist zweifelsohne polarisierend und polemisch. Doch gerade das ist es, was seine Filme und
seine Methoden spannend macht. Eine Freundin von mir
sagte mir bezüglich “Capitalism: a Love Story”, sie würde sicher nicht Moores Manipulationen unterstützen und
ein Kinoticket bezahlen. O-Ton: “Wenn ich einen Dokumentarfilm anschaue, erwarte ich Objektivität.” Dabei
vergisst sie völlig, dass Dokumentarfilme fast nie objek-
LASER HOTLINE
tiv sind. Nur weil sie die Realität zeigen, heißt das noch
lange nicht, dass sie auch objektiv und parteilos sind.
Wieso? Weil sonst niemand reingehen würde. Dokumentarfilme sind harte Arbeit und durchkomponierte
Werke. Nichts da mit Hinreisen und Kamera drauf, hinterher noch ein bisschen Schneideraum und Credits einfügen. Ich konnte vor zwei Jahren bezüglich eines
Kurzfilmprojektes mit einer Schweizer Dokumentarfilme-
Seite 3
rin zusammenarbeiten. Bei ihr habe ich gelernt, dass
die Komposition und die Preparation, die im Vorfeld
stattfinden, einen Großteil der Arbeit ausmachen. Es
wird genau geplant, mit wem worüber gesprochen wird,
was man filmen wird und wie. Dokumentarfilme haben
eine Dramaturgie, ein Skript und einen Regisseur. Improvisiert wird erst nach sorgfältigster Vorausplanung
des Wesentlichen.

würden, dann hat Moore der Menschheit einen Dienst
erwiesen. Es ist lebenswichtig, dass nicht nur Politiker
wie Barack Obama und Hillary Clinton halbwegs erleuchtet durch die Weltgeschichte gehen, sondern auch
all diejenigen, die sie im Amt halten. Fragen Sie mal die
Iraker.
Anna Rudschies
Auch Dokus zielen nämlich darauf ab, beim Zuschauer
Emotionen zu wecken und ihn für ihre Geschichte zu
begeistern. Selbst die Nachrichten in der ARD werden,
wann immer das geht, auf diese pseudo-objektive Art
präsentiert. Und das ist nichts Verwerfliches. Denn auch
wenn wir etwas lernen, wollen wir unterhalten werden.
Wieso meinen Sie, dass spielerisches Lernen bei Kindern (und nach meiner Erfahrung auch bei Erwachsenen) so effektiv ist?
Michael Moore ist, ob man ihn mag oder nicht, unbestreitbar gut darin, Emotionen zu wecken und seine Zuschauer auf eine wilde Reise rund um sein Thema mitzunehmen. Moore wühlt uns auf: Ob es Marilyn Manson
ist, der in die Kamera sagt, er hätte den Jungs vom
Columbine-Massaker zugehört; ob eine Lady die erzählt,
sie hätte den Krankenwagen bezahlen müssen, bevor
sie in Ohnmacht gefallen ist; oder die Bankerin die sagt,
sie habe keine Ahnung wo das ganze Geld hin ist. Und
die Amerikaner wühlt er gleich doppelt auf. Was wir hier
in Europa oft und süffisant vergessen: Michael Moores
Zielpublikum lebt unter den Stars and Stripes. Amerikaner verstehen Rache, Schuld, Sühne, der Suche nach
der Wahrheit gut. Der Regisseur weiß genau, was er
tut, wenn er plakativ und bunt mit diesen Prinzipien arbeitet. Es hat acht Jahre gedauert, bis die Amerikaner
George Dabbelju abserviert haben. Differenziertheit und
Objektivität sind in den USA an die Massen nur schwer
vermittelbar. Es sind jedoch die Massen, die begreifen
müssen, was mit ihnen passiert und dass sie andere
Optionen haben. Also spricht Moore sie in der Art an,
die sie am besten verstehen: Er produziert die PopcornAction-Blockbuster unter den Dokumentarfilmen. Die
Amerikaner haben in unserem heutigen Weltgefüge
Macht, die sich nicht ignorieren lässt. Wenn also ein
paar Amerikaner mehr aufgerüttelt, erschüttert oder
nachdenkend aus dem Kino kommen, Amerikaner, die
sonst nie einen “seriösen” Dokumentarfilm anschauen

Schwarze im Schnee und eine Frau als
Papst
Die Pause scheint beendet – es gibt wieder
Pressevorführungen!
TRIFF DIE ELISABETHS (1:1.85, DD
5.1)
OT: La première étoile
Verleih: Kool (Filmagentinnen)
Land/Jahr: Frankreich 2009
Regie: Lucien Jean-Baptiste
Darsteller: Firmine Richard, Lucien JeanBaptiste, Anne Consigny
Kinostart: 31.12.2009
Bei den Elisabeths herrscht extreme Geldknappheit. Die fünfköpfige Familie, bestehend aus dem dunkelhäutigen Vater JeanGabriel, seine drei dunkelhäutigen Kinder
sowie seiner weißen Frau. Obwohl man
sich nichts mehr leisten kann, verspricht
der Vater seinen Sprösslingen einen Skiurlaub. Es kommt zum Konflikt: die Mutter bleibt zuhause und Vater muss sehen,
wie er den Urlaub organisiert... Eine nette
kleine Komödie aus Frankreich, die ganz
nebenbei die Problematik des Rassenhasses
aufarbeitet. Die teilweise schönen Bilder
hätte aber das CinemaScope-Format verdient.
DIE PÄPSTIN (1:2.35, DD 5.1)
Verleih: Constantin
Land/Jahr: Deutschland, Italien, Panien
2009
Regie: Sönke Wortmann
Darsteller: Johanna Wokalek, David
Wenham, John Goodman
Die Verfilmung eines bekannten Romans
zeigt den Leidensweg einer Frau, die in
einer Zeit auf die Welt kommt, als die
Männer ihren Frauen den Glauben an Gott
noch mit Gewalt einzutrichtern versuchten.
Als Mädchen ist es ihr untersagt, Lesen
und Schreiben zu lernen. Doch Johanna ist
einfach zu intelligent für das Patriarch.
Getarnt als Mann schafft sie es schließlich
sogar auf den Heiligen Thron... Imposant
inszeniertes Spektakel, das leider in der
Hauptrolle nicht optimal besetzt ist. Hier
wäre eine Schauspielerin mit weit mehr
männlichen Zügen gefragt gewesen. Denn
so fragt sich der Zuschauer stets, warum
denn niemand bemerkt, dass der Mann in
Wirklichkeit eine Frau ist. Kameraarbeit
(Tom Fährmann) und Musik (Marcel
Barsotti) sind dafür überdurschnittlich.

Der Mittwoch gab sich komödiantisch.
Zumindest theoretisch. Denn der erste
Film hat sein Klassenziel weit verfehlt.

Verleih: Universal
Land/Jahr: USA 2009
Regie: Peter Billingsley
Darsteller: Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman,
Faizon Love
Weil es in der Gruppe billiger ist, überredet
ein in einer Beziehungskrise steckendes
Paar drei befreundete Paare, die beiden auf
eine Wellness-Woche für Paare zu begleiten. Was sich für die intakten Paare anfangs
wie ein paradiesischer Urlaub anfühlt, entwickelt sich aber binnen kurzer Zeit zu
einer strapaziösen Paartherapie. Jetzt fangen die Probleme erst wirklich an... Wenn
man sich nach gefühlten drei Stunden in
Sicherheit wiegt, dass dieses Machwerk
von Film endlich zuende ist, wird man
schnell eines Besseren belehrt: es gibt noch
eine Szene im Anschluss an den Abspann!
Wie man innerhalb von nur etwa 105 Minuten soviel Langeweile verbreiten kann,
ist schon eine Meisterleistung. Hier wird
gequasselt, gequasselt und nochmals gequasselt. Selbst Jean Reno in der Rolle
eines Paartherapie-Gurus ist hier unterfordert. Ganz zu schweigen vom Filmkomponisten A.R. Rahman (der einen Oscar für
seinen Score zu SLUMDOG MILLIONÄR
zurecht verdient hat), dessen Talent hier
vollkommen fehl am Platz ist. Wenn man
jemanden so richtig ärgern möchte, dem
empfiehlt man einfach diesen Film.
LIEBE MAUER (1:1.85, DD 5.1 EX)
Verleih: Warner
Land/Jahr: Deutschland 2009
Regie: Peter Timm
Darsteller: Maxim Mehmet, Felicitas Woll,
Anna Fischer
Deutschland kurz vor dem Mauerfall. Eine
eben nach Berlin gezogene Studentin beginnt ein leidenschaftliches Liebesverhältnis mit einem Grenzsoldaten. Durch ihre
harmlose Beziehung rufen sie ungewollt
nicht nur die Stasi, sondern auch die CIA
aufs Parkett... Eine nette kleine Komödie
zum 20. Geburtstag des Mauerfalls mit
einer extrem sympathischen Hauptdarstellerin. Vielleicht ein bisschen zu lang geraten und auch nicht immer detailgetreu, dafür aber mit einer großen Portion “Feel
Good”.

Flint ist ein genialer Erfinder. Doch meist
handelt es sich bei seinen Erfindungen um
unnütze Dinge, die zudem in den meisten
Fällen katastrophale Auswirkungen haben.
Als der kleine Inselstaat, auf dem er lebt,
das große Geschäft mit Sardinen verliert,
kommt er auf eine originelle Idee: er baut
eine Maschine, die Wasser in Nahrung verwandeln kann. Alsbald regnet es auf der
Insel Cheeseburger, Eis oder auch Wackelpudding. Das ruft die angehende Wetterfrau
eines TV-Senders auf den Plan. Und ehe
sich’s die beiden versehen funkt es zwischen ihnen. Doch dann droht eine gigantische Nahrungsmittelkatastrophe... Dieser
Film aus der Sony Pictures Animation
Schmiede gehört mit Abstand zum Besten,
was ich dieses Jahr an computeranimierter
Kost gesehen habe. Der Film platzt schon
fast vor Einfallsreichtum und lässt Pixars
OBEN! ganz weit hinter sich. Die Story ist
einfach genial und tiefschürfend dazu. Hier
werden nicht nur die Kleinen auf ihre Kosten kommen, sondern auch die Begleitpersonen. Meine kleine Lieblingssequenz –
wie könnte es anders auch sein: einem aggressiven riesengroßen Gummibärchen wird
mit einem Handgriff das Herz aus dem
Leibe gerissen! Ihr glaubt, dass das nicht
lustig sei? Schaut Euch den Film selber an
– der birgt echtes Lachpotenzial. Einziges
Manko der deutschen Fassung: die Tonmischung erschien mir ziemlich dynamikreduziert zu sein. Möglicherweise ein Zugeständnis an die ganz kleinen Zuschauer.

WESTWÄRTS ZIEHT DER WIND aus dem
Jahre 1969 ist die Verfilmung des
Bühnenmusicals PAINT YOUR WAGON,
welches das Komponistenduo Alan Jay Lerner
und Frederick Loewe 1951 erschuf und das es im
Shubert Theater am Broadway auf ganze 289
Aufführungen brachte.
Im Namen des Schauburg Cinerama Theaters darf ich Sie zum 5. Todd-AO 70mm
Filmfestival ganz herzlich begrüßen. Ob
monumentales Historienkino, einen farbenprächtigen Segeltörn, echte Pariser Revueatmosphäre, eine Vulkankatastrophe, eine
Kriegsgeschichte, malerische sibirische
Landschaften oder eine bombastische Song
& Dance Show – das alles plus ein paar
Überraschungen steht uns an diesem langen
Wochenende bevor.
Bereits 1957 versuchten sich die Filmproduzenten Louis B. Mayer und Jack
Cummings an einer Verfilmung des Stoffes.
Zu dem als Cinerama-Produktion geplanten
Projekt sollte John Lee Mahin das Drehbuch liefern und Alan Jay Lerner sowie
Howard Schwartz sollten zusätzliche
Songs komponieren. Die Rolle des Ben
Rumson war Gary Cooper zugedacht.
Doch der plötzliche Tod Louis B. Mayers
brachte das Projekt zu Fall.
Wie bereits in den vergangenen Jahren wird
es mir auch in den nächsten drei Tagen
wieder ein Vergnügen sein, Ihnen ein paar
wichtige und wesentlich mehr unwichtige
Fakten zu den jeweiligen Filmen zu erzählen. Für alle, die mich noch nicht kennen:
ich heisse Wolfram Hannemann, arbeite als
freiberuflicher Filmkritiker und bin nebenbei noch Geschäftsführer eines kleinen aber
feinen DVD-Versandhandels.
Da wir wieder einige nicht deutsch sprechende Gäste aus dem Ausland bei uns
begrüßen dürfen, werde ich meine Filmeinführungen in Deutsch und Englisch machen.
Damit es aber nicht zu langweilig wird,
werde ich nicht alles, was ich in Deutsch
erzähle, auch ins Englische übersetzen und
umgekehrt.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
dear audience,
hello Widescreeners!
On behalf of the Schauburg Cinerama

Erst der große Erfolg einiger Musicalverfilmungen wie beispielsweise THE
SOUND OF MUSIC weckte in den
sechziger Jahren das Interesse von Filmproduzenten, die stets auf der Suche nach
geeigneten Stoffen waren. Da kam PAINT
YOUR WAGON gerade recht. Jetzt waren
es Paramount Pictures und Alan Jay
Lerner, die gemeinsam produzierten. Ganz
ungeschoren kam Lerners Original allerdings nicht davon. Gemeinsam mit Paddy
Chayefsky arbeitete er seinen Stoff komplett um. Die rassenübergreifende Liebesgeschichte, einst Hauptbestandteil des
Bühnenmusicals, wurde als zu veraltet
angesehen und daher komplett entfernt.
Das Einzige, was zum Schluss übrigblieb,
waren der Titel des Musicals, das
Goldgräbercamp und etwa die Hälfte der
Songs. Dafür wurde Andre Previn mit fünf
neuen Songs beauftragt.
Eigentlich sollte Lee Marvin in Sam
Peckinpahs THE WILD BUNCH eine
Hauptrolle übernehmen. Doch mit einer
Gage von 1 Million Dollar zuzüglich einer
prozentualen Gewinnbeteiligung köderte
Paramount den damals 44jährigen, in ihrem
Film mitzuspielen. Eine kluge Entscheidung wie ich meine. Marvin ist einfach die
Idealbesetzung für den Trunkenbold Ben
Rumson. Es wird gemunkelt, dass Marvin
während der gesamten Dreharbeiten stets
betrunken war, was natürlich die Glaubwürdigkeit seiner Rolle positiv unterstrich.
WESTWÄRTS ZIEHT DER WIND wurde
Seite 7
unter Leitung von Chefkameramann
William Fraker in 35mm Panavision aufgenommen und für Erstaufführungskinos auf
70mm aufgeblasen. Eine dieser Erstaufführungskopien werden Sie anschließend
gleich sehen können. Es handelt sich um
eine deutsch synchronisierte Fassung, bei
der die Songs gnädigerweise im Original
belassen wurden. Wir werden also wirklich
Lee Marvin und Clint Eastwood singen
hören. Weniger erfreulich jedoch ist die
Tatsache, dass der Film für seine deutsche
Auswertung um etwa 15 Minuten gekürzt
wurde und wir somit einige der Songs nicht
zu hören bekommen. Immerhin besitzt die
Kopie noch ansehnliche Farben und verfügt
über exzellenten 6-Kanal-Stereo-Magnetton.
PAINT YOUR WAGON from 1969 is an
adaptation of the 1951 Broadway musical
by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe.
Most of the original material was changed
for the film version. Even some of the
songs were replaced by new songs
especially composed by Andre Previn.
With Joshua Logan as director location
filming took place in Baker City, Oregon,
Big Bear Lake, California and the San
Bernardino National Forest. Both Lee
Marvin and Clint Eastwood did their own
singing while Jean Seberg was dubbed by
Anita Gordon. Marvin’s version of
“Wandrin‘ Star” became very popular and
went to #1 on the British charts and even
won him a gold record.

The production of the film encountered a
lot of problems, especially caused by an
overblown budget. This lead to a lot of
delays and Eastwood was very frustrated
with it, later saying that the experience
strengthened his resolve to become a
director.
It was on December 8, 1981, that I saw
PAINT YOUR WAGON for the first and
also the last time. I was lucky enough to
see it in a 70mm presentation back then
and liked the film very much. I was not
aware that the German version which I saw
was cut by approximately 15 minutes
eliminating some of the songs. Although it
is exactly that cut version which we are
going to show you today, I am still very
happy that I finally can relive my
wonderful experience from the 80s. The
colours of our print are still in good
condition as is the 6-track magnetic stereo
sound. And if you are one of those unlucky
guys who are not able to understand the
German dubbed dialogues – don’t worry.
At least the songs are in full blown
English.
KRAKATOA – DAS
GRÖSSTE ABENTEUER
DES LETZTEN JAHRHUNDERST (Krakatoa –
East of Java)
KRAKATOA – EAST OF JAVA is a perfect
example demonstrating that even a really bad
film deserves optimum presentation quality.
Otherwise, I am quite sure, nobody ever would
talk about this 1969 adventure movie. This at
least is my personal view on this subject and I
should tell you that I love trash movies!
How trashy KRAKATOA – EAST OF
JAVA really is can be judged by just
looking at its title. Anyone familiar with
geography knows that Krakatoa is located
west of Java. When the producers
discovered their geographical error it was
too late to change the title, because all of
the advertising and publicity material had
been prepared already. Changing all this
would have been too costly to achieve and
would have led to a delay in release.
Thanks to Hans Hänßler we are able to
present KRAKATOA – EAST OF JAVA in
its original English language roadshow
version. You will find that the colours have
already faded away, but we all are used to
that meanwhile. Nevertheless the razor
sharp picture quality will take your breath
away and maybe let you forget the film’s
trashy character. And I am pretty sure that
you will love the 3-strip Cinerama
simulation at the beginning of the film!
KRAKATOA – DAS GRÖSSTE ABENTEUER DES LETZTEN JAHRHUNDERTS, so der deutsche Verleihtitel,
enstand 1969 unter Regie von Bernard L.
Kowalski. Kowalski begann seine Karriere
beim Fernsehen, wo er vornehmlich bei
Western-Serien Regie führen durfte. 1958
holte ihn Roger Cormans Bruder Gene zum
Film und verpflichtete ihn als Regisseur
des “Teen Exploitation” Films HOT CAR
GIRL. NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST
und ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES
folgten, bevor er sich wieder ganz der Inszenierung von TV-Serien widmete. Nach
fast zehn Jahren Kinoabstinenz übernahm
er dann die Regie für KRAKATOA und
blieb damit seinem Metier treu: Trash.
Aber wenn schon Trash, dann richtig: es
wurde im 65mm-Format gedreht. Sowohl
Todd-AO als auch Super Panavision 70
Kameras kamen unter Leitung des spanischen Chefkameramanns Manuel Berenguer
zum Einsatz. 65mm war für Berenguer
nichts Neues, hatte er doch drei Jahre zuvor bereits DIE VERFLUCHTEN DER
PAMPAS, den wir am Sonntag zeigen wer-
Seite 8
Oktober 2009
den, mit MCS70-Kameras aufgenommen.
KRAKATOA war ein schwieriges Projekt
von Anfang an. Das lag wohl nicht zuletzt
daran, dass es zwar kein Drehbuch gab,
aber man schon genau wusste, welche
Spezialeffekte benötigt wurden. Effektspezialist Eugènie Lourié nahm die meisten
Miniatursequenzen noch vor Fertigstellung
des Skripts auf. Die 65mm Super
Panavision Kameras bereiteten ihm dabei
erhebliche Kopfschmerzen. Denn für die
Effektaufnahmen war eine wesentlich höhere Bildfrequenz notwendig. Dadurch aber
wurden die Kameras überhitzt und mussten
jede Nacht repariert werden. Letztendlich
musste sich Lourié mit einer maximalen
Frequenz von 72 Bildern pro Sekunde begnügen. Der Qualität seiner visuellen Effekte hat das jedoch nicht geschadet. Ganz
im Gegenteil. Sie führten zu einer OscarNominierung. Übrigens ist Lourié selbst im
Film zu sehen: er übernahm die Minirolle
eines Telegraphenbeamten.
Nach dem großen Erfolg des Films ERDBEBEN 1974 wurde KRAKATOA Mitte der
siebziger Jahre unter dem Titel VOLCANO
erneut in die Kinos gebracht. Dieses Mal
ausgestattet mit “Feelarama”, einem
Sensurround nachempfundenen Tonsystem.
Wir zeigen Ihnen KRAKATOA – EAST
OF JAVA in seiner ungekürzten RoadshowVersion im 70mm-Format und mit 6-Kanal
Stereo Magnetton. Leider sind die Farben
schon verblasst, doch dafür triumphiert
hier die Bildschärfe. Unser Dank gebührt
Hans Hänßler, der uns diese Kopie zur
Verfügung gestellt hat.
ERSTER SIEG (In
Harm’s Way)
Auf den nächsten Film in unserem Festival
freue ich mich ganz besonders, gibt es uns
doch die Möglichkeit, einem Künstler Tribut zu zollen, dessen Lebenswerk einen
ganz besonderen Stellenwert in der Filmbranche einnimmt. Gemeint ist kein Geringerer als der Komponist Jerry Goldsmith.
ERSTER SIEG, oder besser IN HARM’S
WAY, aus dem Jahre 1965 markierte bereits
Goldsmiths zweite Arbeit für einen im
Zweiten Weltkrieg angesiedelten Film. Unmittelbar zuvor hatte Goldsmith KENN-

WORT: MORITURI für die 20 Century
Fox musikalisch vertont und begann noch
in derselben Woche, in der er IN HARM’S
WAY beendete, mit der Arbeit an
COLONEL VON RYAN’S EXPRESS, einem weiteren Kriegsfilm. Doch der 1929 in
Kalifornien geborene Komponist beschränkte sich im Laufe seiner Karriere
nicht auf Kriegsfilme. Ob Drama, Komödie,
Science-Fiction-, Horror- oder Westernfilm
– Goldsmith fand immer die richtigen Töne
und zeigte sich auch äußerst experimentierfreudig. Ob mit großem Sinfonieorchester,
kleiner Combo oder gar voll elektronisch:
er beherrschte alle Spielarten. Und das
bravourös bis ins hohe Alter. Am 10. Februar in diesem Jahr hätte Goldsmith seinen 80. Geburtstag feiern können. Doch er
verlor seinen Kampf gegen den Krebs am
21. Juli 2004. Ein herber Verlust für die
gesamte Branche.
Regisseur Otto Preminger war bekannt
dafür, der Musik in seinen Filmen stets
große Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken und
förderte neue Filmmusiktalente wie Elmer
Bernstein, Jerry Fielding und auch Jerry
Goldsmith. Preminger holte den damals
36jährigen Goldsmith bereits zu den Dreharbeiten von IN HARM’S WAY hinzu,
etwas für damalige Verhältnisse vollkommen ungewöhnliches. Goldsmith war von
Anfang bis zum Ende mit dabei. Das ging
soweit dass Goldsmith fast in Konflikt
geraten wäre mit seinem Folgeauftrag VON
RYAN’S EXPRESS. Sein enger Terminplan
ließ es leider nicht mehr zu, dass
Goldsmith bei der Endmischung von ER-
STER SIEG anwesend war. So konnte er
letzte Änderungen bei der Tonmischung des
Finales des Films nicht mehr überwachen,
was zu einem Ungleichgewicht zwischen
Musik und Toneffekten in jener letzten
Sequenz und einer daraus resultierenden
künstlerischen Verstimmung zwischen
Komponist und Regisseur führte.
I would like to dedicate this very rare
screening of Otto Preminger ’s IN HARM’S
WAY from 1965 to the memory of film
music legend Jerry Goldsmith, who
provided the score for this movie. This
February Goldsmith would have celebrated
th
his 80 birthday. Goldsmith died in 2004
due to his struggle against cancer. A big
loss for the motion picture industry. I
twice had the pleasure of attending Jerry
Goldsmith conducting some of his motion
picture scores during concerts in London.,
both of which were breathtaking.
Goldsmith sometimes was referred as being
arrogant and selfish. However, his music
never was. It always fitted so well to the
movies it was written for and always

met Jerry yet, then IN HARM’S WAY is
your change to actually see him. He can be
spottet leading a jazz combo early in the
film and even interact with one of the
leading actors, Tom Tryon. So keep your
eyes open.

stereophonic magnetic sound. Although
being almost three hours long, the movie
has no build-in intermission. Since we are
running this film off a platter which at that
lengthy running time is quite full we have
decided to run it with an intermission, thus
making sure that the print will not be
damaged unintentionally. I am sure that
this will not spoil the movie experience
and your understanding is appreciated very
much. And if you expect to see a magenta
coloured print right now, I must
disappoint you. Otto Preminger and his
Director of Photography, Loyal Griggs,
decided to shoot it in black and white,
leading to an Academy Award nomination.
PARIS, PARIS – MONSIEUR PIGOIL AUF
DEM WEG ZUM GLÜCK
(Faubourg 36)
Bonsoir Mesdames et Messieurs!
Bienvenue au festival Todd-AO soixantedix millimetres! Aber damit war’s das auch
schon mit meinem Französisch. Nachdem
wir gleich im Anschluss einen Film in französischer Sprache sehen werden, dachte ich
mir, sollte ich Sie doch wenigstens auf
französisch begrüßen.
Willkommen also zu einem der Höhepunkte
unseres diesjährigen 70mm-Filmfestivals,
Christoph Barratiers FAUBOURG 36 aus
dem Jahre 2008. Gäbe es einen Preis für
den absurdesten deutschen Filmtitel, dieser
Film hätte ihn gewonnen: PARIS, PARIS –
MONSIEUR PIGOIL AUF DEM WEG
ZUM GLÜCK, so der Geniestreich des
deutschen Filmverleihs.

Fomat aussehen würde. Gesagt – getan.
Man kopierte eine der Tanznummern auf
70mm, um das einfach mal auszuprobieren.
Barratier war begeistert – wen wundert’s?
Als er dann noch hörte, dass es in Paris
sogar noch ein Kino gibt, welches 70mm
spielen kann, beschlossen er und seine
Crew, sich eine kleine Freude zu machen
und den gesamten Film auf 70mm zu ziehen und ihn so im Paramount Opera in
Paris zu zeigen. Mit dieser Luxusspielerei,
die sich die Filmemacher gönnten, war
Barratier sichtlich zufrieden. Anna erzählte
mir ferner, dass Barratier höchst erstaunt
darüber war, dass es tatsächlich noch eine
Fangemeinde für dieses wunderschöne
Filmformat gibt und er fand es großartig.
Vor FAUBOURG 36 hatte er nie selbst
einen Film in 70mm gesehen, sondern nur
theoretisch darüber Bescheid gewusst!
Freuen Sie sich nun also auf eine echte
Unikatkopie, die uns von Pathe zur Verfügung gestellt wurde. Der Film wurde von
Tom Stern, der viele Filme für Clint
Eastwood fotographierte, in
anamorphotischem Panavision aufgenommen und in den Laboratoires Arane unter
Aufsicht von Jean Rene Faillot auf 70mm
aufgeblasen. Wir freuen uns Monsieur
Faillot heute Abend zu Gast zu haben. Er
wird Ihnen im Anschluss an den Film auch
gerne Rede und Antwort stehen.
Wir zeigen den Film in der französischen
Originalfassung mit 6-Kanal DTS Digitalton. Dem unermüdlichen Einsatz unseres
Vorführers Vincent Koch ist es zu verdan-
ken, dass wir den Film mit deutschen Untertiteln präsentieren können. Dieses Engagement dürfen Sie gerne im Anschluss an
die Vorführung mit einem kräftigen Applaus belohnen!
Christophe Barratier ’s FAUBOURG 36
marks the first time in many, many years
that a new film was actually released with
at least one 70mm print. The blow up from
the 35mm anamorphic negative was done at
Arane Laboratory in Paris, the same lab
that also did the restoration of Jacques
Tati’s PLAYTIME in 70mm some time ago.
We are honoured to have Monsieur Jean
Rene Faillot from Arane Labs with us
tonight and he will be happy answering all
your questions after the screening.
FAUBOURG 36 will be presented in
70mm and 6-track DTS digital sound in its
original French language version. As an
added attraction our projectionist Vincent
Koch will provide German subtitles. For
all those of you who can‘t neither understand French nor read German I suggest to
fully concentrate on the phantastic settings
of the film and its fascinating camera work
by Tom Stern, all covered so well in this
wonderful 70mm blow up in full colour!

In der 70mm-Fangemeinde nimmt
FAUBOURG 36 einen ganz besonderen
Stellenwert ein. Denn nach vielen, vielen
Jahren wurde erstmals wieder ein Film auf
70mm aufgeblasen und auch so vorgeführt.
Wie kam es dazu? Meine Kolumnistin
Anna Rudschies hatte im letzten Jahr das
Vergnügen, ein Interview mit Regisseur
Christophe Barratier zu führen und konnte

do the main part of my introduction to our
first film today in English with respect to
our foreign visitors. You will have a fair
chance to listen to lots of German
dialogues almost throughout the day!
Nobody less than good old William Shakespeare delivered the source for JULIUS
CAESAR. Joseph L. Mankiewicz scripted
and directed Shakespeare’s famous play
about the assassination of Julius Caesar for
MGM in 1953. It premiered in June of
1953 in the USA, only three months prior
to THE ROBE, which made movie history
by being the very first film in the
revolutionary CinemaScope process.
JULIUS CAESAR, however, still got the
standard Academy frame treatment with an
aspect ratio of 1:1.37. Furtheron it was
photographed in black and white by Joseph Ruttenberg. Nevertheless the film’s
soundtrack was produced in 4-track stereo
by Douglas Shearer. Shearer, who was the
brother of actress Norma Shearer, was head
of MGM’s sound department for quite a
long time and helped to co-develop
MGM’s Camera 65 widescreen process.
Although JULIUS CAESAR was recorded
stereophonically it is said that it never
went in stereo into the theatres.
At the end of the sixties 70mm was big in
fashion, especially with MGM. Everything
had to be released in 70mm. Not only the
films which had been photographed in
65mm, just anything. MGM finally
decided to blow up the 1939 GONE WITH
THE WIND to 70mm. Although being a
very delicate subject from an artistic point
of view it was a big success at the box
office. In 1969 MGM decided to re-release
JULIUS CAESAR in the splendor of full
frame 70mm. And this time the original 4track stereo mix was applied. And MGM
even got one step further: they had the
black and white picture tinted in different
colours! So now suddenly JULIUS CAESAR had become a 70mm widescreen
movie in full color and 6-track stereo
sound.
Oktober 2009
Joseph L. Mankiewicz inszenierte JULIUS
CAESAR 1953 für MGM. Aus dem im
Normalformat und in schwarzweiß photographierten Werk wurde erst 1969 ein farbiges, sterephones und breitformatiges
Spektakel – Dank MGMs 70mm Blow Up
Strategie, die auch vor Filmen wie VOM
WINDE VERWEHT nicht Halt machte.
Mit der Musik für JULIUS CAESAR wurde MGMs Experte für historische Filme
beauftragt, der gebürtige Ungar Miklos
Rozsa, der 1940 in die USA emigriert war.
Rozsa komponierte eigens eine Ouvertüre,
die vor dem Film, also bei geschlossenem
Vorhang, gespielt werden sollte, um die
Zuschauer entsprechend musikalisch auf
das folgende Drama einzustimmen. Doch
MGMs Chefetage hatte ganz andere Ideen
und befand, dass Tschaikowskys “Capriccio Italien” ein wesentlich geeigneteres
Stück dafür sei. Nun, Führungsriege eben.
Rozsas Ouvertüre wurde kurzerhand entfernt und verschwand in der Versenkung.
Doch das ändern wir heute. Denn die
Originalmusikaufnahmen von damals haben
überlebt – wenn auch nur in mono - und so
können wir Ihnen JULIUS CAESAR mit
jener Ouvertüre präsentieren, die Rozsa
dafür vorgesehen hatte.
SALOMON UN DIE KÖNIGIN VON SABA
(Solomon And Sheba)
SALOMON UND DIE KÖNIGIN VON
SABA aus dem Jahre 1959 gehört zu jenen
Filmen, die es in das Buch “The Fifty
Worst Films of All Time (and how they got
that way)” der Autoren Harry Medved und
Randy Lowell geschafft hat. Aber davon
sollten wir uns nicht weiter beirren lassen.
Denn schließlich wird bereits im Vorspann
ein “Orgy Sequence Advisor”, also ein
“Berater für die Orgien-Szene”, genannt –
und das lässt hoffen! Und wir haben zwei
Weltstars in den Titelrollen. Gina
Lollobrigida, besser bekannt als “Lollo”
oder “Mona Lisa des 20. Jahrhunderts”
und zu jener Zeit gerade mal 32, in der
Rolle der Königin von Saba und Yul
Brynner als Salomon. Dabei handelte es
sich bei dem gebürtigen Russen Yul
Brynner nur um die Zweitbesetzung.
Schauspielerkollege Tyrone Power, der den
Film mitproduzierte, hatte schon mehr als
die Hälfte seiner Szenen abgedreht, als er
plötzlich während der Dreharbeiten zusammenbrach und wenige Minuten später im
Alter von nur 44 Jahren verstarb. Yul
Brynner trat in seine Fußstapfen und drehte alle Szenen noch einmal nach. Aber

Like almost all of the 70mm colour prints
of the sixties our JULIUS CAESAR print
has a severe color fading. The color scheme
that was introduced with the 70mm print
now leads to different shades of pink and
magenta. What a shame they really went
for the colorization!

Auch für den Regisseur des Films, King
Vidor, damals 65 Jahre alt, war
SOLOMON AND SHEBA ein Abschied
vom Film. Es war seine letzte Regiearbeit.
Erst zwanzig Jahre später trat er noch
einmal hinter die Kamera, nämlich für den
Kurzfilm THE METAPHOR.
Als Chefkameramann für SOLOMON AND
SHEBA fungierte der Brite Freddie Young,
der zwei Jahre später seine sehr erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit mit David Lean begann und Meisterwerke wie LAWRENCE
VON ARABIEN, DOKTOR SCHIWAGO
und RYAN’S TOCHTER photographierte.
Although writers Medved and Lowell did
include the 1959 production of
SOLOMON AND SHEBA in their book
“The Fifty Worst Films of All Time (and
how they got that way)”, I am convinced
that we will enjoy it for it has lovely Gina
Lollobrigida participating in an orgy scene!
And that probably is the scene for which
this movie is most noted for. Of course it
features other values, too. Like Freddie
Young’s photography in Super Technirama
70, meaning that a 35mm negative film is
running horizontally through the camera.
Having worked before either with Academy
format or CinemaScope, SOLOMON AND
SHEBA marked Freddie Young’s first
venture into large format photography. I
once asked Freddie whether he choose Super Technirama for this production or
whether it was requested by the producer.
Freddie, nearly 90 at that time, only
replied “You seem to know more about my
films than I myself”. End of story. So let
us just take a look at the SOLOMON AND
SHEBA souvenir brochure in which Super
Technirama 70 is explained as follows:
“The startling clarity and depth of the
SUPER TECHNIRAMA-70 image on the
giant screen marks a major step forward in
motion picture presentation. The process
combines special systems of photography
and projection to obtain, on a giant curved
screen, an image which, in depth of focus
and clarity, is infinitely superior to any
other process now in use. The lens system
for SUPER TECHNIRAMA-70 was
designed by Professor Dr. A. Bouwers of
N. V. Optische Industrie de „Oude Delft“
of Holland. It was developed by the
LASER HOTLINE
Technicolor Corporation under supervision
of Dr. Herbert T. Kalmus, president. The
camera uses an entirely new type of
anamorphic lens and utilizes a doubleframe negative which passes horizontally
through the camera. The resulting image on
the screen, after being printed on 70millimeter film, has no „separation lines“
and is equally brilliant and undistorted
when viewed from any seat in the theatre,
no matter how far to the side or how far
up front the seat may be. It is definitely
the projection system of the future,
available to audiences today”.
So just sit back, relax and enjoy our
German dubbed 70mm presentation of
SOLOMON AND SHEBA.
UZALA DER KIRGISE
(Dersu Uzala)
On March 23 next year Japanese film
director Akira Kurosawa would celebrate
his 100 th birthday. He was voted the 6th
greatest director of all time by
Entertainment Weekly, making him the
only Asian on a list of 50 directors and the
highest ranking non-American. In 2005
UK’s Empire magazine ranked him #6 in
„The Greatest directors ever!“ Without
any doubt Kurosawa became a legend. His
films were frequently copied and remade
by American and European filmmakers:
THE SEVEN SAMURAI (1954) was remade as THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
(1960), YOJIMBO (1961) was remade as A
FISTFUL OF DOLLARS (1964). In
addition, THE HIDDEN FORTRESS
(1958) was a major inspiration for the
STAR WARS saga. Which brings me to our
next feature film presentation: DERSU
UZALA, directed by Akira Kurosawa. It
has been suggested in a number of quarters
that Dersu himself, a wise old man in the
woods dressed in ragged clothes with a
singular way of speaking, was an
inspiration for Yoda in the STAR WARS
films. And it’s not hard to see the
connection, especially when you consider
how much of a fan of Kurosawa’s work
George Lucas was and still is.
And Kurosawa was very lucky that he was
able to direct DERSU UZALA at all. In
1970 his comparatively low budget but
very personal story of the lives of a group
of Tokyo slum dwellers, DO DESU KA
DEN, was released, the first production of
The Committee of Four Knights, a group
founded by Kurosawa with fellow
directors Kon Ichikawa, Masaki Kobayashi
Seite 12
and Keisuke Kinoshita. They were keen
that their first film should be a hit. It
wasn’t. On December 22nd 1971,
Kurosawa attempted suicide by slashing
his throat six times and his wrists eight.
Fortunately for him and for film history,
the attempt did not prove fatal.
In 1973 Kurosawa began work on DERSU
UZALA, a co-production with Mosfilm
Studios to be shot in Russia and in the
Russian language, the director’s first nonJapanese film. It was shot on 70mm film
stock and took two years to complete,
with the temperature during filming in
Siberia often dropping to -40º C. What
could have felt like a further compromise –
Kurosawa had to leave Japan to make a
movie – turned into a triumph. The film
won two major prizes at the Moscow International Film Festival and the Oscar for
Best Foreign Language Film.
Akira Kurosawa died on September 6,
1998.
Our sincere thanks goes to Orla Nielsen
from Denmark, who has provided us with a
70mm print of DERSU UZALA.
Akira Kurosawas DERSU UZALA, der
Oktober 2009
unter dem Titel UZALA DER KIRGISE
auch in die deutschen Kinos kam, ist eine
Parabel über den Zusammenstoß zweier
Kulturen, die sich im Grunde fremd bleiben. Kurosawa sagte dazu selbst einmal:
“Man hat vergessen, dass der Mensch ein
Teil der Natur ist und dass man sie habgierig schändet. Deshalb versuche ich einen
Menschen zu zeigen, der mit der Natur in
Einklang lebt”. Und das tut er in mythischen, großartigen Bildern, die geradezu
geschaffen sind für das 70mm-Format. Da
wundert es nicht, dass er gleich drei Kameramänner für seinen Film verpflichtete.
Aufgenommen wurde im Sovscope 70 Format, welches mit 70mm Negativfilm arbeitet.
Wir zeigen Ihnen DESRU UZALA in einer
russischsprachigen 70mm Kopie mit deutschen und dänischen Untertiteln. Unser
Dank geht an Orla Nielsen aus Dänemark,
der uns diese Kopie zur Verfügung stellt
sowie an unseren Vorführer Vincent Koch,
der für die technische Realisierung der
deutschen Untertitel verantwortlich zeichnet sowie Galina Shaveika für die deutschen Untertitel selbst.
FLYING CLIPPER –
TRAUMREISE UNTER

WEISSEN SEGELN
Guten Abend, meine Damen und Herren!
Im Namen der Schauburg darf ich Sie ganz
herzlich willkommen heissen zu unserer
traditionellen Gala-Vorstellung im Rahmen
des 5. Todd-AO 70mm Filmfestivals.
Schön zu sehen, dass doch einige von Ihnen
unserer Einladung gefolgt sind und sich
extra für den heutigen Abend in Schale
geworfen haben.
FLYING CLIPPER – TRAUMREISE UNTER WEISSEN SEGELN war der erste
deutsche Kinofilm, der mit 65mm-Negativfilm aufgenommen und mit 70mm-Kopien
in die Erstaufführungshäuser gebracht wurde. Seine Weltpremiere erlebte er am 19.
Dezember 1962 im Münchener Royal-Palast. Die Regie teilten sich Hermann
Leitner und Rudolf Nussgruber, die beide
nach diesem Großformat-Abenteuer ausschließlich für das Fernsehen tätig waren.
Ironie des Schicksals?
Ganz bestimmt hatten die beiden Regisseure nicht damit gerechnet, dass ihr Film 45
Jahre nach seiner Erstaufführung mit einer
nagelneuen 70mm-Kopie seine glanzvolle
Rückkehr in ausgewählte Kinos feiern würde! Diesen Umstand verdanken wir dem
Bundesfilmarchiv. Denn dort nahm man die
“Bigger Than Life”-Retrospektive zum
Thema 70mm-Film auf der diesjährigen
Berlinale zum Anlass, den Film wieder in
seinem originalen Format verfügbar zu
machen. Nach Jahrzehnten der unzureichend klimatisierten Lagerung des “Flying
Clipper“-Films hatte das Bundesarchiv
leider erst 2001 eine bereits geschrumpfte
und rotstichige 70-mm-Kopie erhalten.
Jürgen Brückner, unser 70mm-Experte aus
Coburg, stellte dem Bundesarchiv 2006
dankenswerter Weise das Originalnegativ
sowie zwei Jahre später auch die 35mm 6Kanalton-Magnetfilme zur Verfügung. Somit war der Weg frei für eine aufwändige
Neukopierung, die von der amerikanischen
Firma Fotokem unter Leitung von Andrew
Oran ausgeführt wurde.
1963 schrieb Karl Korn für die “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” eine Rezension,
die ich Ihnen nicht vorenthalten möchte,
weil ich sie besonders lustig finde.

Oberhausenern und ihren Freunden nur
kalte Verachtung finden. Das

there is any at all, resembles a lot to the
1958 Cinemiracle film WINDJAMMER.
Even the German narration in both films is
done by the same actor, Hans Clarin, who
is well known to German audiences.
FLYING CLIPPER was released in the
USA in 1964 as MEDITERRANEAN
HOLIDAY and advertised as “Wonderama”
featuring narration by Burl Ives and some
extra material not included in the original
version. The music for FLYING CLIPPER
was composed and conducted by Italian
composer Riz Ortolani and performed by
the Graunke symphony orchestra.
We are happy to have one of FLYING
CLIPPER’s original cameramen with us
tonight, Mr. Heinz Hölscher, who was
responsible for most of the aerial
photography. I am sure that he will be glad
to answer any questions during the
intermission or after the film.

künstlerisch kaum bemerkenswert. Die
junge flotte Mannschaft
des Segelschiffs wird nach dem simpelsten
dramaturgischen Rezept überall da an die

ausgesetzt, wo es große Ziele des gehobenen Wohlstandstourismus vorzuzeigen gibt:
Akropolis und
Abu Simbel, Konstantinopel und die große
Rallye von Monte Carlo samt der dem
filmischen Traum genealogisch und
filmologisch zugehörigen Gracia Patricia.
Die Jungen fahren Ski im Libanon und klettern in den herrlichen Ruinen von Baalbek
herum, sie springen wie die Affen über die
von Trams, Festrägern und sonstigem Inventar wimmelnden Boulevards von Kairo
und zeigen natürlich auch bei der andalusischen Fiesta ihre weißen Mützen und
schlaksigen Gestalten. Die untere
Geschmacksgrenze wird nicht immer gemieden, so etwa wenn ein jugoslawischer
Damenmotorsportklub die Boys auf Motorrollern über die dalmatinischen Höhen
“entführt”. Trotzdem ist dieser Film, abgesehen von der Spekulation auf Schaueffekte, die kein Fernsehen je wird einholen
können, auch filmisch nicht ohne Interesse... Das wuchtige Bild zieht den Betrachter gewaltig an sich heran. Man hat auch
eine enorme Illusion der Bildtiefe. Das

akustische Zubehör arbeitet mit Sechskanalstereoton. Da die neue
deutsche...Kamera, verglichen mit anderen
70-mm-Kameras, bemerkenswert leicht an
Gewicht ist, kommen zu den dynamischen
Wirkungen von Bild und Ton bisher
ungekannte Möglichkeiten der Kamerabewegung. Die Herren Regisseure und Kameramänner haben sich einige Bravourstükke des Schwenks mit dem neuen Apparat
nicht entgehen lassen”.
Soweit Karl Korn. Einen der Kameramänner des Films haben wir heute Abend übrigens zu Gast: Bundesfilmpreisträger Heinz
Hölscher. Seine waghalsigen Luftaufnahmen
zeigen mediterrane Landschaften, die es so
heute nicht mehr gibt. Und die machen
FLYING CLIPPER zu einem einzigartigen
Zeitdokument.
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to our gala
performance within the 5 th Todd-AO 70mm
film festival. And a big “Thank You” to all
of you who really went through a lot of
trouble just to get nicely dressed for this
evening. The film which you are going to

THAT’S
ENTERTAINMENT!
(That’s Entertainment!)
Guten Morgen und herzlich willkommen
zum dritten und letzten Tag unseres fünften Todd-AO 70mm Filmfestivals. Haben
wir Sie gestern nach dem Frühstück noch
mit verfilmter Weltliteratur versorgt, so
wollen wir es am heutigen Sonntag etwas
leichter angehen!
THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT, den MetroGoldwyn-Mayer 1974 zu ihrem 50jährigen
Firmenjubiläum in die Kinos brachte, ist
ein bunter Querschnitt durch die Welt der
Filmmusicals, die untrennbar mit MGM
verbunden sind. “Bunt” zumindest bei der
Erstaufführung, denn unsere Kopie weist
leider schon ein gewisses Farbfading auf.
Drehbuchautor und Regisseur der mitreissenden Nummernrevue ist Jack Haley Jr.,
der sich mit vielen Dokumentarfilmen im
Kino und auch Fernsehen einen Namen
Seite 14
machte. Er ist der Sohn des Schauspielers
Jack Haley, der im Klassiker THE
WIZARD OF OZ den “Tin Man” spielte
und er war ein paar Jahre mit Schauspielerin Liza Minnelli verheiratet. Die wiederum
ist die Tochter von Judy Garland, welche
die “Dorothy” in THE WIZARD OF OZ
spielte. Keine Frage: THE WIZARD OF
OZ wird in dieser Retrospektive natürlich
nicht fehlen.
MGMs Abteilung für Fernsehdokumentationen holte Haley Jr. 1972 an
Bord. Dort hatten Nicholas Noxon und
Irwin Rosten die Idee, eine TV-Dokumentation über die Geschichte des Filmmusicals zu machen. Haley überzeugte die beiden relativ schnell davon, ihr Geld nicht
für das Material anderer Studios auszugeben, wenn MGM selbst genügend Material
in dieser Hinsicht zu bieten hatte. Zusammen mit den Cuttern Bud Friedgen und
Michael J. Sheridan wurde eine Demorolle
zusammengestellt. Als man Daniel Melnick
als Exekutivproduzenten für das Projekt
hinzuholte und dieser die kleine Demorolle
sah, setzte er alle Hebel in Bewegung, um
das Projekt ins Kino zu bringen. Haley
rekrutierte seinen alten Freund Gene Kelly
und bat diesen, so viele Stars wie nur möglich als Hosts für das Projekt zu gewinnen.
Binnen weniger Tage waren die Zusagen
von elf der ganz Großen bereits vorhanden.
Mehr noch: Sie willigten ein, ihre Gage
komplett dem Motion Picture Relief Fund
zu überlassen.

very finest of Hollywood’s “Golden Era”,
but none more so than the incomparable
musicals. Although the MGM musicals
have long held a steadfast place in the
annals of film history, they were
catapulted to the forefront of
contemporary cinema in 1974 with the
release of the phenomenal THAT’S
ENTERTAINMENT!. The sixth biggest
grossing film of the year, THAT’S
ENTERTAINMENT! thrilled audiences
with excerpts from over 70 musical
masterpieces. Under the leadership of Jack
Haley Jr. the studio’s vaults were scoured
for material. All involved spent their
weekends literally crawling on their hands
and knees through film vaults that hadn’t
been sifted through in decades. Their goal
for THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT! was
that it not only showcase MGM’s greatest
musical numbers, but also present these
numbers in the best possible picture and
sound. When finally completed THAT’S
ENTERTAINMENT! was 133 minutes of
nostalgic and incomparable Technicolor
imagery which moved effortlessly from
square to widescreen. The sound had been
re-mixed to follow every movement and the
black and white images had been carefully
retimed to retain their perfect gray scale
despite the fact that they were being
presented on 70mm color film stock. This
was the extra touch of showmanship that
made THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT! its
own, unique filmgoing experience.
My sincere thanks to George Feltenstein,
whose excellent liner notes for the laser
disc release of THAT’S
ENTERTAINMENT helped so much in
preparing this introduction.
You will be watching a German dubbed
70mm first run print from 1975. Don’t
worry – all of the songs will be heard in
their original English language version.
However, the colors of our print have
already begun to fade away. Nevertheless I
am sure that this will not spoil your movie
experience.
DIE VERFLUCHTEN
DER PAMPAS (Savage
Pampas)
DIE VERFLUCHTEN DER PAMPAS oder
SAVAGE PAMPAS entstand als spanischargentinisch-amerikanische Co-Produktion
im Jahre 1966. In den deutschen Kinos
herausgebracht wurde der auf 65mm mit
MCS70-Kameras aufgenommene Film
durch den Nora-Filmverleih. Übrigens hatte
derselbe Verleih bereits ein paar Wochen
zuvor ebenfalls DER KONGRESS AMÜSIERT SICH mit 70mm-Kopien in bundesdeutschen Kinos ausgewertet. Vielleicht

Der enorme Aufwand hatte sich gelohnt:
THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT wurde
MGMs größter Hit seit fast einem Jahrzehnt. Während seiner fünfmonatigen Laufzeit erwirtschaftete der für 975.000 Dollar
produzierte Film mehr als 40 Millionen
Dollar. Dieser Erfolg sowie die Tatsache,
dass das MGM-Archiv noch tonnenweise
weiteres Material bereithielt, führten zu
zwei Fortsetzungen.
Just southwest of Hollywood proper lies a
little hamlet known as Culver City,
California, wherein once reigned a factory
of sorts. Despite its Culver City locale,
the factory shipped its product out
proudly with the stamp “Made in Hollywood, U.S.A.”. This was not really a
misnomer, for if any product personified
the magic of Hollywood, it was the films
of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Today, a vast
majority of these films are regarded as the

Noch ein Ehrengast: Dieter Gäbler
erinnern Sie sich – wir hatten diesen Film
im letzten Jahr während des Todd-AOFestivals bereits gezeigt.
Mitproduzent bei SAVAGE PAMPAS war
der legendäre Samuel Bronston, obgleich er
weder im Titelvorspann noch auf den Filmpostern genannt wird. Stattdessen wird
Jaime Prades als Produzent aufgeführt, der
zur Führungsriege von Bronston’s Imperium gehörte. Das aber war zur Zeit von
SAVAGE PAMPAS bereits stark in Mitleidenschaft gezogen, denn Bronston musste
Konkurs anmelden. Grund dafür war der
Film, den wir Ihnen im Anschluss an
SAVAGE PAMPAS zeigen werden.
Regie bei DIE VERFLUCHTEN DER
PAMPAS führte der 1908 in Argentinien
geborene Hugo Fregonese. Es ist das Remake von Fregoneses erstem Films PAMPA BARBARA, den er 1945 in Argentinien
inszenierte. Die Außenaufnahmen für sein
Remake entstanden in Spanien unter Chefkameramann Manuel Berenguer. Dieter
Gäbler, den wir heute bei uns zu Gast haben, war damals als Kameraassistent tätig
und konnte die Dreharbeiten hautnah miterleben. Vielleicht kann er uns ja im
Anschluss an die Vorführung noch etwas
dazu erzählen.
Ein weiteres Dankeschön an Hans Hänßler,
der uns diese 70mm-Kopie zur Verfügung
gestellt hat. Um es positiv auszudrücken:
es wurde mir versichert, dass die Kopie
LASER HOTLINE
über Farbtupfer verfügt...
Robert Taylor, Ron Randell, Marc
Lawrence and Ty Hardin star in the 1966
production of SAVAGE PAMPAS, filmed
in Spain using MCS70 cameras and 65mm
stock. Argentinian born Hugo Fregonese
directed this remake of his own film PAMPA BARBARA from 1945. SAVAGE
PAMPAS, which is reported to have never
been exhibited in 70mm in the USA, was
not Fregonese’s first encounter with
65mm. In fact he also directed OLD
SHATTERHAND (or APACHES LAST
BATTLE; as it was titled in the UK) two
years before which he also shot in MCS70.
Spanish Manuel Berenguer was the
Director of Photography on SAVAGE
PAMPAS, the same cinematographer
whose work we could already see on
Friday when we screened KRAKATOA –
EAST OF JAVA. One of the camera
assisstants on SAVAGE PAMPAS was
Dieter Gäbler, whom we have with us
today and hopefully he can tell us a little
bit about the ongoings on the set during
that time after our screening. In fact ,
during my research for my intro to
SAVAGE PAMPAS I found that it is quite
difficult getting some in-depth information
about this production, which was coproduced by Samuel Bronston. At least I
could get some information on the film’s
composer, Waldo De Los Rios.
He was born in 1937 as Osvaldo Nicholas
Ferrara in Buenos Aires into a musical
family; his father was a musician and his
mother a well known folk singer; he
studied composition and arranging at the
National Conservatory of Music. He was
inspired by an eclectic range of music and
formed a musical group called „The Waldos“ which crossed folk music with
electronic sounds. De los Rios turned to
work in cinema and film sound tracks. For
SAVAGE PAMPAS he received a
prestigious award from the Argentine
Cinemagraphic Association. He is bestremembered for his ability to transform
European classical music into pop music.
His 1971 arrangement of Mozart’s
Symphony No. 40 recorded with the Manuel de Falla orchestra, reached the top
spot in the Dutch charts and scored a top
10 hit in several other European countries.
In 1970, prior to this success, Waldo de los
Rios had already climbed the charts around
Europe and America with Ludwig van
Beethoven’s Ode To Joy which he arranged
and conducted for Miguel Rios. A victim of
an acute depression , De Los Rios
committed suicide in Madrid in 1977.
Ladies and Gentlemen, be prepared now
for a film which has got an “18” rating
when been first shown to German
audiences. Being released with a running
time of 112 minutes during its premier run
in Spain it obviousley was cut to 94
minutes, which is our print’s running time.
Nevertheless it is in 70mm and features 6track stereo magnetic sound. Thanks to
Hans Hänßler for enabling us to show this
print, which as I was told still reveals
some color spots!
DER UNTERGANG DES
RÖMISCHEN REICHES
(The Fall of the Roman
Empire)
THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE
marks one of the biggest financial fiascos
in motion picture history. You could easily
rename the film’s title to THE FALL OF
THE BRONSTON EMPIRE. Samuel
Bronston, that is. And FALL was one of
two projects he had underway in 1964, the
other one being CIRCUS WORLD.
Encouraged by the box office success with
Seite 16
Oktober 2009
EL CID in 1961, Bronston invested an
awfull lot of money to build his own little
empire in Las Rozas near Madrid in Spain:
the Samuel Bronston studios. The gigantic
movie sets for FALL OF THE ROMAN
EMPIRE and the following failure of the
film at the box office left Bronston with a
lot of debts. Although he did produce four
more movies after FALL, his main
occupation was to handle proceedings in
bankruptcy. It took him almost 20 years to
repay all his depts. He died at the age of
85 in California and was buried in Alicante,
Spain.
What Bronston will always be remembered
for are the super spectacles he produced,
featuring big stars and huge sets, all of
which as we all know were shown in 70mm
all around the world. I think that I do not
exaggerate when I say that it is due to
Bronston’s showmanship in the sixties that
so many of us here today started their
interest and enthusiasm for 70mm
roadshow presentations.
Thanks to Rene Wolf and Marleen Labijt
from the Filmmuseum Amsterdam we are
able to present THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE in a 70mm print which is
rumoured to be the best available print
nowadays. A lot of cut versions have been
made over the years but according to its
running time this print should be almost
complete. Although being filmed in Ultra
Panavision 70 which usually has a slight
anamorphic squeeze on the 65mm negative,
the print is just flat with an aspect ratio of
1:2.2. It seems that no anamorphic nor
rectified 70mm prints have ever been
struck of this film. The sound is 6-track
stereo magnetic sound and you will listen
to the original English version.
DER UNTERGANG DES RÖMISCHEN
REICHES war gleichzeitig der Untergang
seines Produzenten, Samuel Bronston.
Ermutigt durch den finanziellen Erfolg von
EL CID ließ Bronston riesige Studios in
der Nähe von Madrid bauen, um dort seine
Filme zu produzieren. Für den UNTERGANG ließ er das Forum Romanum dort
originalgetreu nachbauen und hält damit
noch immer den Rekord für das größte
Outdoor Set, das jemals für einen Film
gebaut wurde. Der UNTERGANG erwies
sich leider als Paramounts größter Flopp
im Jahre 1964 und führte zu Bronstons
Konkurs.

In diesem Jahr feierte das Epos seinen 45.
Geburtstag und die Hauptdarstellerin Sophia Loren wurde vor ein paar Tagen 75.
Die Gage der damals 30jährigen betrug eine
Million Dollar. Das hatte vor ihr nur
Elizabeth Taylor für ihre Rolle in
CLEOPATRA geschafft. DER UNTERGANG DES RÖMISCHEN REICHES sollte ursprünglich direkt nach EL CID entstehen und hätte die beiden Hauptdarsteller
Charlton Heston und Sophia Loren wieder
vereint. Die Kulisse des Forum Romanum
war bereits in Bau, als Heston das Dreh-
buch ablehnte und gleichzeitig großes Interesse an Bronstons 55 TAGE IN PEKING
äußerte. Bronston ließ daraufhin sofort die
Arbeiten am Forum einstellen und befahl,
das Ganze in das für 55 TAGE IN PEKING benötigte Peking-Set umzugestalten.
Nach Fertigstellung des Peking-Films wurde das Set wieder demontiert und das Forum Romanum neu aufgebaut. Die Rolle
des Livius, einst Charlton Heston zugedacht, übernahm Stephen Boyd, der in
BEN-HUR als Messala, Hestons Gegenspieler, zu sehen war. Boyd machte später
den finanziellen Misserfolg von DER UN-
Seite 17
TERGANG DES RÖMISCHEN REICHES
für das Ende seiner Schauspielerkarriere
verantwortlich.
Für die Musik des Films verpflichtete
Bronston den damals 70jährigen Dimitri
Tiomkin. Für Tiomkin war der UNTERGANG sein Magnum Opus und er steckte
sehr viel Herzblut in seinen Score. Dass er
dafür von der Academy of Motion Picture
Arts & Sciences nur mit einer Oscar-Nominierung, nicht aber mit dem Oscar selbst
ausgezeichnet wurde, schmerzte ihn sehr.
Der Award fiel damals den Sherman
Brothers für ihren Score zu MARY
POPPINS zu. Zu seiner Ehrenrettung aber
wurde Tiomkin für seine Musik ein Golden
Globe überreicht. Dimitri Tiomkin ist übrigens einer jener sechs Hollywood-Filmkomponisten, die es 1999 auf eine amerikanische 33 Cent Briefmarke geschafft haben.
Die anderen fünf in dieser “Legends of
American Music” Serie waren Max Steiner,
Bernard Herrmann, Franz Waxman, Alfred
Newman, und Erich Wolfgang Korngold.
Erleben Sie nun also DER UNTERGANG
DES RÖMISCHEN REICHES in der besterhaltenen und wohl nahezu vollständigen
70mm Roadshow-Version. Unser Dank
gebührt Rene Wolf und Marleen Labijt vom
Filmmuseum Amsterdam, die uns diese
Kopie zur Verfügung gestellt haben.
FUNNY GIRL (Funny Girl)
Mit einer Musicalverfilmung soll unser bunter
Reigen von Filmen während des fünften ToddAO Filmfestivals leicht und beschwingt zu Ende
gehen: FUNNY GIRL aus dem Jahre 1968 unter
Regie von Altmeister William Wyler. Für den
damals 66jährigen Wyler war es die vorletzte
Regiearbeit. Dabei war Wyler nur die zweite
Wahl als Regisseur. Produzent Ray Stark, dem
wir Filme verdanken wie REFLECTIONS IN A
GOLDEN EYE, THE WORLD OF SUZIE
WONG oder THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA,
hatte Sidney Lumet mit der Regie beauftragt.
Doch wie so oft gab es am Set
Meinungsdifferenzen zwischen Lumet, seinem
Produzenten und der Hauptdarstellerin. Lumet
schmiss das Handtuch. Als Ray Stark dann an
William Wyler herantrat, wollte der eigentlich gar
nicht. Wyler war auf einem Ohr taub und meinte,
so könne er kein Musical inszenieren. Erst
nachdem er Barbra Streisand getroffen hatte,
entschied er sich, es doch zu tun. Columbia
Pictures wollte ursprünglich Shirley MacLaine
LASER HOTLINE
Oktober 2009
in der Rolle der Fanny Brice sehen, jener
Komödiantin, die in den berühmten Ziegfeld
Follies der Jahre 1911 bis 1923 am Broadway zu
sehen war. Doch Ray Stark, Schwiegersohn von
Fanny Brice sowie Produzent der erfolgreichen
und ebenfalls mit der Streisand besetzten
Bühnenshow von FUNNY GIRL, bestand auf
seine Wahl. Dass er damit genau richtig lag,
bewiesen die Oscar-Nominierungen im Folgejahr.
Gleich siebenmal wurde FUNNY GIRL für
den Academy Award nominiert, erhielt die
begehrte Trophäe jedoch nur in der Kategorie “Best Actress in a Leading Role”. Und
der ging an die 26jährige Barbra Streisand,
die mit der Rolle der Fanny Brice ihr
Leinwanddebüt gab. Übrigens erhielten in
jenem Jahr gleich zwei Schauspielerinnen
den Oscar als beste Darstellerin. So musste
Barbra Streisand diese Auszeichnung mit
Katherine Hepburn und ihrer Rolle in THE
LION IN WINTER teilen. Gerüchte erzählen übrigens, dass die im Film von Omar
Sharif gespielte Rolle des Nick Arnstein,
ursprünglich keinem Geringeren als Frank
Sinatra angeboten werden sollte. Doch Frau
Streisand wusste dies zu verhindern, konnte sie ihn doch gar nicht leiden. Well, there
is no business like show business.
Wir zeigen Ihnen FUNNY GIRL in einer
deutsch synchronisierten 70mm Blow Up
Kopie aus dem Erstaufführungsjahr. Erfreulicherweise wurden die Somgs im Original belassen und sind deutsch untertitelt
Let’s raise the curtain for our final show of
the fifth Todd-AO 70mm film festival –
FUNNY GIRL from 1968. It was the
highest crossing movie of that year and
earned seven Academy Award nominations,
one of which resulted in an Oscar given to
Barbra Streisand’s motion picture debut.
FUNNY GIRL was shot in 35mm
Panavision anamorphic by veteran
cinematographer Harry Stradling who
would also shoot Barbra Streisand’s next
film, HELLO DOLLY, one of my all time
favorites. FUNNY GIRL’s original director
Sidney Lumet was replaced by William
Wyler after differences with the film’s
producer Ray Stark and Miss Streisand.
The film features special photographic
effects by no one less than Albert
Whitlock who became famous for his work
for Alfred Hitchcock. However, Mr.
Whitlock did not get any screen credit in
FUNNY GIRL. This changed in the 1975
sequel FUNNY LADY, which again starred
Barbra Streisand and Omar Sharif and
which was once again produced by Ray
Stark. And Albert Whitlock finally got his
screen credit.
FUNNY GIRL will be screened in a
German dubbed 70mm print from 1969.
Luckily all the songs have been left in
English with the added attraction of
German subtitles.
Time to say goodbye. Hopefully you all
have enjoyed this wonderful trip back in
time over the passed three days as much as
I did and we all hope to see you again next
year. And this might be as early as in June
when the Schauburg Cinerama theatre will
present a Sensurround special during its
Widescreen Weekend. If you are a fan of
big subwoofers you should clearly mark
the first weekend in June in your diary! It
will be worthwhile attending – I guarantee.
A big applause to Herbert Born and his
team for making it happen once again!
Keep up the good work and make it big,
make it loud – make it Todd-AO!

Baccano!: The Complete Series
Don’t let nobody tell you there’s no future in a life of crime,
because some rackets can last forever. But we’ll get around
to all that immortality jazz later. A mafia turf war is raging on
the mean streets of the Big Apple, a place where regular joes
bounce between backdoor booze joints and the breadline. But
this caper ain’t about a simple gangland brawl. It’s about
hoods who can’t seem to die proper after catching a bullet or
five between the eyes. Sadistic hit-men and the dames they
love, mad bombers going boom, monsters going bump and soul
sucking alchemists bootlegging an elixir of eternal life. Just
remember, Baccano! ain’t about beginnings and ends. It’s
about the twists and turns, bub. Paths don’t cross in this story
- They collide. Every Dick and Jane plays the lead and it’s
gonna be a bumpy ride.

The course of love doesn’t always run true. Nagisa may have
accepted Tomoya’s proposal, but her father, Akio, withholds
his permission until Tomoya can meet his terms - and even if
that can be achieved, darker clouds are gathering that will
shatter their dreams forever, as Nagisa’s health begins
declining. When what should be a happy moment, turns
instead into tragedy, Tomoya’s rage and frustration at being
unable to do more than be by Nagisa’s side leaves him unable
to handle the responsibility left to him. But the story is not yet
over, and there is still another act to follow. Happiness can
still be attained, provided that Tomoya holds onto love, the
most precious thing of all. The grand climax, plus several
enchanting sidestories, await in the second collection of
Clannad After Story.

White
Fairy tales collide when Mambo and Munk tip the scales of
good and evil once again. This time Princess Snow White is a
misguided teenager who’d rather have fun with friends Red
Riding Hood, Goldilocks and Little Bo Peep than help
peasants. When Snow White’s father is matched up with Lady
Vain- a scheming witch brewing to rule the kingdom- Snow
White becomes a thorn in Lady Vain’s side. Snow White is
soon tricked by Lady Vain (with Rumpelstiltskin’s help) into
spreading vicious gossip about the townspeople, forcing her
to flee. Through rebuilding the three little pigs’ houses with
the seven dwarves leading the way, Snow White learns the
value of helping others. Only Snow White can foil her dad’s
wedding to stop Lady Vain. With Mambo and Munk in tow,
Snow White proves she can rule the kingdom, while bringing
balance back to the scales of good and evil.

To Love Ru: Collection 1
One should always understand other people’s customs before
making commitments. Unfortunately, Rito Yuki had no idea the
planet Develuke even existed when their Princess Lala
teleported naked into his bathtub, let alone that touching a
girl’s breasts is how they propose marriage! Given that he
was in the tub when she appeared, and slippery soap suds
being what they are, Rito’s now engaged to a beautiful girl
with a pointed tail. Worse, various aliens are showing up on
missions of varying hostile intent; the girl that Rito really
loves is still completely unaware of his feelings; and all of the
new customs he’s got to learn seem to involve touching a
girl’s chest! (Okay, maybe he’ll get used to that last one, but
he’s still in high school and a bit intimidated.) Can a nice boy
from Japan become the next King of Galaxy A or will he just
end up feeling like a boob? Keep abreast of further
developments in To Love Ru Collection 1!

A masterful film from Jia Zhang-ke, the renowned director of
Still Life and The World, 24 City chronicles the dramatic
closing of a once-prosperous state-owned aeronautics factory
and its conversion into a sprawling luxury apartment complex.
Bursting with poetry, pop songs and striking visual detail, the
film weaves together unforgettable stories from three
generations of workers whose lives have revolved around the
factory - some real, some played by actors (including Joan
Chen) - into a vivid portrait of the human struggle behind

Chantal Akerman In The
Seventies: Eclipse From The
Criterion Collection
Over the past four decades, Belgian director Chantal Akerman
(Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles) has
created one of cinema’s most distinctive bodies of work formally daring, often autobiographical films about people and
places, time and space. In this collection, we present the
early films that put her on the map: intensely personal,
modernist investigations of cities, history, family, and
sexuality, made in the 1970s in the United States and Europe
and strongly influenced by the New York experimental film
scene. Bold and iconoclastic, these five films pushed
boundaries in their day and continue to have a profound
influence on filmmakers all over the world. In Chantal
Akerman’s early short film La chambre, we see the furniture
and clutter of one small room in an apartment become the
subject of a moving still life - with Akerman herself staring
back at us. This breakthrough formal experiment is the first
film the director made in New York. Under Chantal Akerman’s
watchful eye, a cheap New York hotel glows with mystery and
unexpected beauty, its corridors, elevators, rooms, windows,

Dead At The Box Office

An evil from the past haunts a financially-troubled movie
theater during a midnight screening of Night of the Living
Dead. This sinister legacy traps the theater’s staff between
their cannibalistic customers and the equally murderous
agents of a paranoid government. Sometimes creepy,
sometimes campy, „Dead at the Box Office“ pays homage to the
low-budget, B-grade zombie films of the 60s and 70s.
Far from a conventional biopic, Steven Soderbergh’s film
about Che Guevara is a fascinating exploration of the
revolutionary as icon. Daring in its refusal to make the
socialist leader into an easy martyr or hero, Che paints a
vivid, naturalistic portrait of the man himself (with a stunning,
Cannes-award-winning performance by Benicio del Toro),
from his overthrow of the Batista dictatorship to his 1964
United Nations trip to the end of his short life. Originally
released in two parts, the first a kaleidoscopic view of the
Cuban revolution and the second an all-action dramatization
of Che’s failed campaign in Bolivia. Che is presented here in
its complete form.

What does it mean to be Jewish? Three generations of the
Rashevski family grapple with the question, after the death of
Rose, the secular matriarch who believed that the tango
would make all troubles disappear. Charming and endearing,
the characters confront issues of relationships, family,
religion, love, romance, and interfaith marriage.
Based on a true character, and from the award winning horror
writer/director of ‘Days of Darkness’, and the producer of the
indie horror hit ‘Automaton Transfusion’, comes a cautionary
tale that will make you squirm and twist in your seat. With
unrelenting suspense and terror, Penance is the tale of a
young, demure single mother, Amelia (Marieh Delfino), who
hits upon hard times and decides to take her future into her
own hands and becomes a stripper. Everything is going well
until Suzy, her stripper friend, is beaten up on a job and
recruits Amelia to take her place. Reluctantly, Amelia takes
the job, only to find the job isn’t everything it seems. Driven to
a strange location by a dark and mysterious man (Tony Todd),
and confronted by a grizzled hit man (Michael Rooker),
Amelia’s world is turned upside down, as her captor (the mind
bending Graham McTavish), is intent on one thing and one

incarceration.

Roberto Rossellini’s War Trilogy:
The Criterion Collection
Roberto Rossellini is one of the most influential filmmakers of
all time. And it was with his trilogy of films made during and
after World War II - Rome Open City, Paisan, and Germany
Year Zero - that he left his first transformative mark on
cinema. With their stripped-down aesthetic, largely nonprofessional casts, and unorthodox approaches to
storytelling, these intensely emotional works were international sensations and effectively launched the neorealist
movement. Shot in battle-ravaged Italy and Germany, these
three films are some of our most lasting, humane documents of
devastated postwar Europe, containing universal images that
encompass both tragedy and hope. This was Roberto
Rossellini’s revelation, a harrowing drama about the Nazi
occupation of Rome and the brave few who struggled against
it. Rome Open City is a shockingly authentic experience,
conceived and directed amid the ruin of World War II.
Roberto Rossellini’s follow-up to his breakout Rome Open
City was the ambitious, enormously moving Paisan, which
consists of six episodes set during the liberation of Italy at
the end of World War II,

Aberdeen the answer is to turn away from the human race and
all earthly reality by making a sacred pact with Satan. After
enlisting his protection in return for her eternal soul, her first
act is to burn down the priest’s church as he lays passed out
drunk on the floor. She then flees to the city where she
develops a horrible addiction to alcohol and drugs. Angela
quickly spirals downward in her journey to Hell. Stripping
turns to pornography and prostitution, and as her deadly
addictions tear her body apart, she realizes that even Satan
has seemingly forsaken her. Slaughtered Vomit Dolls is the
opening film of the infamous Vomit Gore Trilogy.

Watch Out
Having made a name for himself on the indie scene with the
acclaimed Firecracker, writer-director Steve Balderson takes
another giant step in pushing the envelope even further with
one of the most original and daring films of the decade. Giving
a performance that will be talked about for years to come,
Matt Riddlehoover (actor, writer and director of the gay cult
hit To A Tee) is stunning as Jonathan Barrows, a handsome,
misanthropic college professor who literally loves himself.
Whether taping his own photo on a blow-up doll or given to
lustful choruses of „I love myself“ for sexual satisfaction,
Jonathan is a narcissistic wonder who has found the startling
answer to the question: Who do you have sex with when
you’re the best-looking and smartest person in the room?
Fending off advances from both men and women, Jonathan’s
lifestyle choices soon demand a high cost, which director
Balderson explores in set pieces both blisteringly comic and
cynically dark. Like a John Waters epic from his midnight

Superstar Michael Jackson entertained audiences nearly his
entire life. His father Joe had been a guitarist but was forced
to give up his musical ambitions following his marriage to
Katherine. Together they prodded their growing family’s
musical interests at home - the „Jackson Five“. Solo success
for Michael was inevitable, and by the 1980s, he had become
infinitely more popular than his brotherly group. Record sales
consistently orbited, culminating in the biggest-selling album
of all time, „Thriller“. For it all to end on June 25, 2009, with
his sudden death at age 50 of a cardiac arrest just as he was
coming out of a four-year reclusive period and rehearsing for
a sold-out London concert „comeback“ in July seems
uncommonly cruel and tragic. Millions of dedicated fans will
remember where they were „the day Michael died“. Michael
Jackson: The King! is a new documentary that features
interviews and behind-the-scene footage.

Passing Strange
In this breathtaking film, Spike Lee captures the highlyacclaimed eponymous Broadway musical show written by
singer/songwriter Stew (with music cowritten by his creative
partner, Heidi Rodewald).... Passing Strange The Movie tells
the semi-autobiographical story of a young black man who
leaves behind his middle-class, church-ruled upbringing in
mid-1970s Los Angeles to travel to Europe in search of his
artistic and personal identity, or what he calls „the real.“
Picaresque misadventures with sex, drugs, politics, and art
await him in far-out Amsterdam and hyper-militant Berlin. His
eyes are opened ever wider, even revealing what he left
behind. An absolutely superb cast, ably supported by sparing
(but pitch-perfect) costumes, design, and stagecraft, bring to
life the emotionally charged story with its astounding original
music, narrated and overseen by Stew himself. Lee’s
multicamera coverage of the event (including backstage
scenes) involves the audience in not only the text but the
electricity of the ensemble’s onstage adventure. Passing

Margaret Cho: Beautiful - Live
And Uncut
Margaret Cho
Learning to love her luscious self over the past forty years,
comedian Margaret Cho realized that the eye of the beholder
doesn’t hold all the power when it comes to beauty. Our tastes
may be groomed by the media, but how we feel about how we
look brings our self-image into focus. Armed with something
more potent than lip gloss - a mouth so shocking and raunchy
it should be stamped with a warning. Cho toured America with
her manifest „This show is really about how we should feel
beautiful,“ says Cho. „When you feel beautiful, you’re going to
have more of a willingness to use your voice to speak.“ Shot
at the Long Beach Terrace Theater, Cho’s latest stand-up
concert film, Beautiful, explores the good, bad, and downright
ugly in beauty, and the unattractive politicians and marketers
who shape our world.

today’s America? In a triumph of documentary storytelling,
Election Day combines eleven stories - all shot
simultaneously on November 2, 2004, from dawn until long
past midnight - into one. Factory workers, ex-felons, harried
moms, Native America activists and diligent poll watchers,
from South Dakota to Florida, take the process of democracy
into their own hands. The result: and entertaining, inspiring
and sometimes unsettling tapestry of citizens determined on
one fate day to make their votes count.

Simone Forti: An Evening Of
Dance Constructions
In the spring of 1961 Simone Forti presented a program titled
Five Dance Constructions and Some Other Things in a
concert series organized by her friend, composer La Monte
Young, at the New York loft studio of Yoko Ono. These
radically new dances created circumstances for the
performers’ direct, non-stylistic actions. Each of the pieces
was performed in a different place in the loft, with the
audience moving from location to location to view them. Some
of the pieces required elementary structures - a hanging rope,
rectangular wooden boxes - which were placed throughout
the loft like a sculptural installation. In 2004 the Museum of
Contemporary Art in Los Angeles invited Forti to re-create
these dance constructions at the Geffen Contemporary space,
in conjunction with the exhibition A Minimalist Future Art as
Object 1958 - 1986. This DVD documents that evening and
includes Huddle, Slant Board, Platforms, See Saw, Roller
Boxes and Accompaniment for La Monte’s 2 sounds and La
Monte’s 2 sounds. The soundtrack of La Monte Young’s 2
Sounds has been re-mastered and the composer’s notes
accompany the video. In

Soldiers Of Conscience
Every soldier wrestles with his conscience over killing.
Although most decide to kill, some refuse. Made with official
permission from the U.S. Army, Soldiers Of Conscience
reveals that far more soldiers decide not to kill than we might
expect. Narrated by Emmy winner Peter Coyote, Soldiers Of
Conscience profiles eight American soldiers four who decided
not to kill and become conscientious objectors, and four who
believe in their duty to kill if necessary. The film reveals how
everyone from West Point grads to drill sergeants, Abu
Ghraib interrogators to low ranking reservist-mechanics,
grapples with the morality of killing in war, not as a
philosophical problem, but as soldiers experience it - a splitsecond decision in combat that can never be forgotten or
undone. Including never-before-seen footage of basic training
and the war in Iraq, Soldiers Of Conscience is a realistic yet
optimistic look at war, peace and the power of the human
conscience.

Squatting The Palace
This video takes a circular approach to an artist who works
in overlapping spirals of creative energy. Smith works in her
home not in a space specifically designed as a studio but on
the 2nd floor of her East Village townhouse. There, amid her
books, a pet bird, and small kitchen, Smith goes from drawing
to collaging to modeling clay to painting plaster casts and
back, again and again, moving from one discipline to another
in a way that can seem aimless to a casual observer, but
which is actually the modus operandi of a highly sophisticated
visual artist. Over the course of the video, it becomes
apparent that many of the pieces Smith is creating including
sculptures, photographs, prints, and furniture fashioned from
liquor boxes are intended for an eight-room installation at the
Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice, Italy, to open
contemporaneously with the 2005 Venice Biennale. We see
Smith collaborating with artisans fabricating her sculptures
and observe her daily interactions with her assistants. We
then follow Smith to Venice and witness the complex
installation of her exhibition, which proves t
