We also offer numerous new cinema releases on DVD. These include films that were recently shown at b-Ware! Ladenkino. So you can catch up on what you missed and relive major cinema events in the comfort of your own home. Included is THE OUTRUN, the brilliant film adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s bestseller: Young Rona (Saoirse Ronan) flees from the Orkney Islands to London, throws herself into a wild life, and falls into alcoholism. After years of therapy, she decides to return—to her rugged home island, to the forces of nature, to the painful memories of her childhood and youth. Once there, Rona realizes she must go even further away. Even deeper into solitude! Into direct confrontation with nature. THE OUTRUN is Nora Fingscheidt’s third feature film: “A highlight of the Berlinale,” praised the Berliner Morgenpost.
Thirty years ago, Mexican vampires settled the score with the Yankees in FROM DUSK TILL DAWN (1996). Now BLOOD & SINNERS drowns Southern racism in an orgy of fake blood. Setting: The USA in the Roaring Twenties: Alcohol is prohibited. An opportunity for the black twin brothers Smoke and Stack. Having made their money smuggling alcohol, they return to their hometown of Clarksdale. There they buy an old mill and set up a nightclub. Three white men show up at the opening party. Ku Klux Klan vampires who cause quite a stir.
With BLOOD & SINNERS, director Ryan Coogler (BLACK PANTHER) delves into the history of his ancestors. His reworking is a mix of gangster and horror film. And proves once again: gore aesthetics are a perfect means of deconstruction. They show that, beyond all attributions and constructs, humans are above all one thing: a body. And a vulnerable one at that.
