Along came tourists

2007, Robert Thalheim, Germany

Definitely in the category of small films, this little German number set in Poland takes the story of Sven, a young German,who comes to Auschwitz to do his civil service and ends up having to babysit a veteran of the camp who is in his 80’s and far from an easy job. He is also involved in and around the monuments and this allows him to meet Anya, a Polish guide who he falls for. The films throws up all sorts of questions about the German role in Poland today with local Polish being relatively cool towards their presence. It also asks us to look at what and how we remember such tragic events in the past and as the film progresses Sven realizes how important it is to value the memories of history and how that today is a challenge with the young. A gentle film which makes a number of points quietly, I enjoyed it a lot although there is nothing outstanding either in front or behind the camera to mention in particular. Simply, a quiet, competent film.

Life is a Cabaret, old chum

What good is sitting alone In your room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.

Put down the knitting, The book and the broom.
It's time for a holiday.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum
Come to the Cabaret.

Come taste the wine, Come hear the band.
Come blow a horn, Start celebrating;
Right this way, Your table's waiting.

What good's permitting Some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
So Come to the Cabaret!

I used to have a girlfriend Known as Elsie,
With whom I shared four sordid rooms in Chelsea
She wasn't what you'd call a blushing flower...
As a matter of fact she rented by the hour.

The day she died the neighbors Came to snicker:
"Well, that's what comes from too much pills and liquor."
But when I saw her laid out like a Queen,
She was the happiest... corpse... I'd ever seen.

I think of Elsie to this very day.
I remember how she'd turn to me and say:
"What good is sitting all alone in you room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.

And as for me, And as for me,
I made my mind up, back in Chelsea,
When I go, I'm going like Elsie.

Start by admitting, From cradle to tomb
It isn't that a long a stay.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
It's only a Cabaret, old chum
And I love a Cabaret!

Sons (Sønner)

Directed by Erik Richter Strand (Norway, 2006). With Nils Jørgen Kaalstad, Edward Schultheiss, Henrik Mestad, Mikkel Bratt Silset, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal & Marika Enstad. In Norwegian with English subtitles. 103 min.

25-year-old Lars works as an attendant at an Oslo swimming pool. Good-hearted but violent-tempered, he shares a troubled past with his best friend Jørgen. Now Jørgen is on his way to adulthood with his girlfriend and their child, while Lars still lives the bachelor life of soccer and beer. One day Lars gets a nasty surprise at the swimming pool: he recognizes Hans, a middle-aged man who’s rumored to fool around with teenage boys. Lars alerts Anja, head of the pool and Jørgen’s girlfriend, that Hans is a threat and needs to be banned from the pool. When Anja will not listen to any accusations without proof, Lars sets out on his own to gather evidence and recruits Tim, a boy who has been seeing Hans, to help him bring down the abuser. Soon the situation spins out of control, and rage takes over as Lars embarks on a crusade that endangers the very people he set out to protect. Sons has been awarded the Mannheim-Heidelberg International Film Festival’s Rainer Werner Fassbinder Award, the Black Night Film Festival’s Don Quijote Award (Tallinn), and the Seattle International Film Festival’s Grand Jury Prize.
