<strong>The</strong> legacy of Spaetzle Westerns<br />
<strong>The</strong> Italians may be famous for their spaghetti westerns, but in Germany,<br />
the cowboys and “Indianerfilms” ride high with film lovers By Scott Roxborough<br />
AS JEFF BRIDGES,<br />
Hailee Steinfeld,<br />
Josh Brolin and<br />
the Coen Brothers<br />
ride in today for the<br />
Berlin Festival opener True<br />
Grit, they will be welcomed<br />
by a local audience wild for<br />
Westerns.<br />
Germans have a long<br />
and enduring love aff air<br />
with the most American<br />
of genres. Wild West tales<br />
from High Noon<br />
to Once Upon a<br />
Time In the West<br />
to Dances With<br />
Wolves have been<br />
huge hits here.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are more<br />
than a hundred<br />
Wild West clubs<br />
across the county<br />
where grown men (and a<br />
few women) gather to play<br />
cowboys and Indians on<br />
stage sets of saloons and<br />
hitching posts. Iconic Western<br />
images of the wide,<br />
unbroken horizon, the solitary<br />
cowboy on the lonely<br />
trail or the sheriff bringing<br />
justice to a lawless land are<br />
as engraved on the German<br />
mind as the characters of<br />
2<br />
Grimm’s Fairy Tales.<br />
But there is also a<br />
tradition of Westerns<br />
made in Germany. In West<br />
Germany in the 1960s<br />
there were the Winnetou<br />
fi lms, based on the Wild<br />
West novels of Karl May, a<br />
German writer who never<br />
visited America. <strong>The</strong> adventures<br />
of the Apache brave<br />
Winnetou and his whiteskinned<br />
blood brother<br />
Old Shatterhand were<br />
instant hits and are<br />
still staples on German<br />
TV.<br />
Quentin Tarrantino<br />
pays tribute to the<br />
franchise in<br />
Inglori-<br />

scene where German<br />
soldiers are playing<br />

a who-am-I guessing<br />
game where the answer is<br />
“Winnetou, Chief of the<br />
Apaches!”<br />
Bavarian director Bully<br />
Herbig went one step further<br />
with his 2001 western<br />
spoof Mannitou’s Shoe,<br />
which lovingly mocks the<br />
Winnetou fi lms. It earned<br />
some $90 million, making<br />
it the most successful German<br />
fi lm of all time.<br />
It was a diff erent story<br />
in the East. If anything, in<br />
the former GDR, Westerns<br />
were even more popular.<br />

Q&A<br />
Joel and Ethan Coen<br />
PLAGUED BY BAD<br />
weather, writer/directors<br />
Joel and Ethan<br />
Coen weren’t sure<br />
they could finish True Grit<br />
in time for its Dec. 22 U.S.<br />
release. Since then it’s earned<br />
$150 million and an Oscar<br />
Best Picture nomination. On<br />
the eve of its first film-festival<br />
appearance, opening the<br />
Berlin International Film<br />
Festival Feb. 10, the Coens<br />
talk about their biggest hit<br />
with <strong>The</strong> <strong>Hollywood</strong> <strong>Reporter</strong>’s<br />
Tim Appelo.<br />
When were you last in Berlin?<br />
Joel: We haven’t been there<br />
since <strong>The</strong> Big Lebowski.<br />
We’ve known [festival<br />
director] Dieter Kosslick<br />
for a while and like him, so<br />
we’re looking forward to it.<br />
What are your Berlin<br />
memories?<br />
Ethan: It’s gray and cold.<br />
Most of the other festivals<br />
are more like you’re off conventioneering<br />
someplace.<br />
Joel: We were there with<br />
John Goodman at a press<br />
conference and had just<br />
been subjected to the usual<br />
paparazzi battery of exploding<br />
flashbulbs and the first<br />
question was, ‘What do you<br />
think of Berlin?’ and John<br />
said, ‘I’ve noticed a lot of<br />
cameras.’ [laughter]<br />
In THR on Dec. 1, I said True<br />
Grit’s last-minute Dec.<br />
22 release wasn’t a smart<br />
move. In 13 days it made<br />
more than your first 7 films<br />
did in 13 years. I guess it was<br />
a smart move.<br />
Joel: <strong>The</strong>y didn’t have a<br />
choice. We barely made<br />
it. <strong>The</strong> big surprises came<br />
fast and furious this year.<br />
We were not expecting<br />
the movie to perform as<br />
it did commercially. And,<br />
honestly, we thought there<br />
wasn’t going to be a slew of<br />
Oscar nominations either.<br />
Sources say Stalin sent<br />
an assassin on a botched<br />
mission to <strong>Hollywood</strong> to<br />
kill John Wayne in 1943. If<br />
he’d been successful, there<br />
would have been no 1969<br />
True Grit. Would your movie<br />
be any different?<br />
Joel: Oh, it wouldn’t be.<br />
That’s the thing. Our movie is<br />
from the Charles Portis novel.<br />
So there’s no influence at all?<br />
Joel: Bits around the edges.<br />
Ethan: It’s been remarked<br />
that Dakin Matthews [who<br />
plays the horse trader] is<br />
reminiscent of Strother Martin,<br />
who played the role in<br />
1969. I have a vague memory<br />
of Martin in that role. It’s a<br />
chicken or egg thing — what<br />
comes from the book and<br />
whatever distant memory of<br />
the movie we have.<br />
Can you point to anything in<br />
True Grit and say, “Joel came<br />
up with this, Ethan with<br />
that?”<br />
Joel: Well, it’s all pretty<br />
much a mush, because what<br />
really happens is there’s a<br />
discrete idea A and discrete<br />
idea B and C and so on that<br />
gets dumped into the movie.<br />
It’s one person says something,<br />
then the other person,<br />
it gets batted back and forth<br />
and modified.<br />
Did Wayne’s iconic performance<br />
cast a shadow on<br />
your True Grit?<br />
Joel: Jeff kinda didn’t care.<br />
<strong>The</strong> one person who might<br />
have been put off by it. He<br />
just kinda didn’t give a shit.<br />
Ethan: A lot of people<br />
might take umbrage, but<br />
I’m not sure that was the<br />
iconic performance of John<br />
Wayne. To think of it as<br />
iconic largely because of<br />
4<br />
the Oscar is a mistake.<br />
Wayne got it for being John<br />
Wayne.<br />
Ethan: Joel had a theory<br />
he learned about acting by<br />
watching his horses. Like<br />
a lot of big guys, like John<br />
Goodman, he had incredible<br />
physical gracefulness,<br />
like a dancer.<br />
Garry Wills says Kim Darby<br />
made the Mattie role too<br />
childish in 1969, perhaps<br />
because she was actually a<br />
21-year-old mother.<br />
Ethan: That’s interesting,<br />
the idea that she might’ve<br />
been trying to compensate<br />
for her age, pushing it the<br />
other way.<br />
She’s following Wayne’s<br />
character, in second place.<br />
Ethan: That was never a<br />
problem with Hailee. She<br />
definitely understands she’s<br />

Ethan: She does have this in<br />

I asked Rusty the<br />
wrangler if she could ride.<br />
He said, ‘She’s gonna be<br />
fine — she’s totally unafraid<br />
of the horses.’”<br />
So was Fargo, and True Grit.<br />
Ethan: Yeah, in a very different<br />
way.<br />
But True Grit is the opposite<br />
of No Country — talk about<br />
being verbal.<br />
Joel: Oh, totally verbal.<br />
Ethan: One hallmark of<br />

have a gasbag.<br />
Joel: We’re drawn to<br />

One last question. What are<br />
you going to do with all that<br />

Joel: What is Paramount<br />

True Grit<br />
By Todd McCarthy<br />
THE ONE-EYED FAT MAN IS<br />
back, but working in a very<br />
different key, in the Coen<br />
Brothers’ take on True Grit,<br />
a melancholy, atmospheric Western<br />
with a 14-year-old girl at the center of<br />
it. A story of pursuit and sought-after<br />
justice that places in stark relief the<br />
main characters’ strengths and failings,<br />
this wintery work is well played<br />
and superbly crafted but hits largely<br />
familiar notes, giving it a one-dimensional<br />
feel without much dramatic or<br />
emotional resonance. <strong>The</strong> solid cast,<br />
involving story and intrinsic appeal<br />
of the good guy-bad guy Western<br />
format should translate into decent<br />
mid-range business, with the film’s<br />
ultimate box office fate heavily dependent<br />
upon how it plays for families<br />
and young audiences.<br />
Famous mostly for John Wayne’s<br />
enjoyably hammy Oscar-winning performance<br />
as Rooster Cogburn, a growling,<br />
boozing, trigger-happy deputy<br />
marshal who grudgingly helps a young<br />
lady track down her father’s killer in<br />
Indian country in the 1870s, the 1969<br />
adaptation of Charles Portis’ wonderful<br />
novel exuded amiable relaxed<br />
charm under the direction of veteran<br />
Western director Henry Hathaway.<br />
Two obvious fixes the Coens tended<br />
to at once were restoring the proper<br />
age of the female lead (Kim Darby was<br />
20 when the first film was shot) and<br />
casting a strong actor to play the Texas<br />
Ranger who uncomfortably accompanies<br />
Rooster and little Mattie Ross into<br />
a land filled with fugitive outlaws and<br />
no-accounts. <strong>The</strong>se represent major<br />
plusses for the new film, as screen<br />
newcomer Hailee Steinfeld makes an<br />
excellent Mattie, and Matt Damon,<br />
from the moment of his laconic bootson-a-porch<br />
rail entrance designed<br />
to recall Henry Fonda in My Darling<br />
Clementine, puts any thoughts of Glen<br />
Campbell immediately to rest.<br />
Startlingly, however, what the Coens<br />
have given up is humor. To readers of<br />
Portis’ novel, which was a critical and<br />
commercial hit when published in<br />
1968, the crackling, colloquial, often<br />
laugh-out-loud hilarious<br />
dialogue seemed<br />
almost ready-made<br />
for any screenwriter<br />
to more or less lift it<br />
intact. Marguerite<br />
Roberts put some<br />
perky, folksy spin on it<br />
four decades ago. Joel<br />
and Ethan Coen, while<br />
retaining some of Portis’<br />
wordsmithing, have<br />
oddly decided to drain<br />
most of the comedy<br />

from inherently funny lines and situations.<br />
Considerable character color is<br />
lost in the process, particularly where<br />
Rooster is concerned; sure, Wayne did<br />
a fair share of broad mugging in his<br />
day, but that didn’t mean Bridges and<br />
the others had to steer clear of the sort<br />
of comic timing that would only have<br />
enriched the material and made it<br />
more entertaining this time around.<br />
But the focus here is resolutely upon<br />
Mattie, a remarkably poised, selfconfident<br />
and, it must be said, entirely<br />
humorless girl whose every move and<br />
decision is driven by her aim of tracking<br />
down Tom Chaney, the man who<br />
shot her father. For the audience, Mattie<br />
proves her mettle at the outset by<br />
completely having her way in negotiations<br />
with an experienced horse trader<br />
(fantastically well<br />
played by Dakin Matthews),<br />
thereby leaving<br />
no doubt that she’ll be<br />
more than able to hold<br />
her own with the imposing<br />
Rooster (whom she<br />
first confronts while he’s<br />
occupied in an outhouse),<br />
the condescending<br />
LaBoeuf (Damon)<br />
and even Chaney (Josh<br />
Brolin) when she finally<br />
confronts him. THR<br />

Elite Squad 2<br />
By Stephen Farber<br />
THOSE WHO HAVE<br />
had their fill of<br />
angst and weirdness<br />
at this year’s<br />
Sundance Film Festival<br />
relished one of the festival’s<br />
most purely entertaining<br />
movies, Elite Squad 2: <strong>The</strong><br />
Enemy Within, which also<br />
happens to be the most<br />
successful Brazilian movie<br />
in history. Director Jose<br />
Padilha has had several earlier<br />
films at Sundance and<br />
this year served as a juror in<br />
the world cinema documentary<br />
category. Action movies<br />
aren’t usually showcased<br />
at Sundance, but this movie<br />
does have the sense of<br />
political anger and urgency<br />
that distinguishes many<br />
other films at the festival.<br />
Following up on some<br />
of the themes and characters<br />
of Elite Squad, the<br />
brutal thriller that won the<br />
Golden Bear in Berlin in<br />
2008, the sequel is actually<br />
a more compelling movie.<br />
And unlike many sequels,<br />
it is completely selfcontained,<br />
so if you don’t<br />
remember a thing about<br />
the first movie, that won’t<br />
interfere with your enjoyment<br />
of this one. From the<br />
brilliantly staged opening<br />
sequence — a prison riot<br />
that turns into a bloodbath<br />
— the energy never lets up.<br />
<strong>The</strong> main character, Nascimento<br />
(Wagner Moura),<br />
the leader of Rio de Janeiro’s<br />
special military police<br />
unit, mismanages the prison<br />
riot, so he is removed from<br />
his job but eventually kicked<br />
upstairs to a government<br />
intelligence post. <strong>The</strong>re he<br />
uncovers a web of corruption<br />
that spreads from the<br />
police department to the<br />
highest levels of government.<br />
Although the film is<br />
billed as fiction, it draws<br />
on real scandals in Brazil,<br />
which may explain why it<br />
has connected so powerfully<br />
with audiences at home. A<br />
8<br />
smart distributor should be<br />
able to lure an American<br />
audience as well, because<br />
the picture has considerable<br />
suspense as well as piercing<br />
human insight.<br />
Much of the humanity<br />
comes from Moura’s performance.<br />
While Nascimento<br />
can kick butt with the sangfroid<br />
of Dirty Harry, the<br />
actor also conveys genuine<br />
anguish when surveying the<br />
tragic consequences of the<br />
violence ravaging Rio. In the<br />
opening scenes Nascimento’s<br />
nemesis is a publicityhungry<br />
human rights<br />
advocate, Fraga (Irandhir<br />
Santos), a crusader against<br />
police brutality who also<br />
happens to be married to<br />
Nascimento’s ex-wife (Maria<br />

the cop and the journalist<br />
join forces to expose<br />
the real villains — a cadre of<br />
vicious, corrupt cops led by<br />
the menacing Sandro Rocha<br />
and Milhem Cortaz.<br />
Nascimento’s relationship<br />
with his teenage son<br />
(Pedro Van Held) adds<br />
unexpected tenderness<br />
to the chases and shootouts.<br />
<strong>The</strong> violence is less<br />
relentless than in the first<br />
movie, but it still packs<br />
a visceral charge. <strong>The</strong><br />
one flaw in the film is an<br />
excessive use of voice-over<br />
narration by Nascimento.<br />
Much of the exposition<br />
seems unnecessary given<br />
the cogent visual storytelling<br />
that Padilha masters.<br />
Tight editing keeps driving<br />
the movie forward, and the<br />
director and his cinematographer,<br />
Lula Carvalho,<br />
capture the many sides of<br />
Rio, from the favelas to the<br />
sleek corridors of power.<br />
Could there be a third Elite<br />
Squad? Given the success<br />
of Part 2 and the slightly<br />
ambiguous ending, don’t<br />
bet against it. THR<br />

Reviews<br />
Circumstance<br />
By James Greenberg<br />
CIRCUMSTANCE is an<br />
amazingly accomplished<br />
and complex<br />
first feature<br />
from Iranian-American<br />
writer-director Maryam<br />
Keshavarz.<br />
Drawing on some of her<br />
own experiences, she has<br />
created an insiders look at a<br />
world few of us will ever get<br />
to see. <strong>The</strong> political, sexual<br />
and religious labyrinth of<br />
Iran today feels at once<br />
contemporary and utterly<br />
foreign. Told with a modern<br />
rhythm and propulsive<br />
soundtrack, it’s a compelling<br />
story that should<br />
attract both a young and<br />
older audience of culturally<br />
Market<br />
Bottom Line: Stunning debut<br />
lifts the veil on life in Iran.<br />
Production companies:<br />
Marakesh Films, A Space<br />
Between, Bago Pictures, Neon<br />
Productions, Menagerie Pictures<br />
Cast: Nikohl Boosheri, Sarah<br />
Kazemy, Reza Sixo Safai, Soheil<br />
Parsa, Nasrin Pakkho, Amir<br />
Barghashi, Fariborz Daftari,<br />
Keon Mohajeri Director-screenwriter:<br />
Maryam Keshavarz<br />
No rating, 108 minutes<br />
curious moviegoers.<br />
Keshavarz’s looking glass<br />
is a liberal, well-to-do family<br />
in Teheran, and in particular<br />
16-year-old Atafeh<br />
(Nikohl Boosheri) and<br />
her less privileged friend<br />
Shireen (Sarah Kazemy),<br />
whose parents were likely<br />
executed as dissidents. As<br />
any girls their age, they are<br />
testing the bonds of friendship<br />
and their sexual attraction<br />
for each other, made<br />
even more complicated by<br />
a repressive society that<br />
has little regard for women.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y act out their rebellion<br />
by taking drugs and partying<br />
in hip-looking underground<br />
clubs, but their<br />
only real escape is through<br />
their imagination. Life is<br />
so stifling in Iran that they<br />
picture themselves running<br />
off to the relative freedom<br />
of Dubai.<br />
All of Atafeh’s family<br />
has been affected by<br />
the totalitarian regime.<br />
Her once progressive,<br />
Berkeley-educated father<br />
Firouz (Soheil Parsa) is<br />
nostalgic for his glory days<br />
10<br />
Circumstance<br />
while compromising in<br />
the present. Her mother<br />
Azar (Nasrin Pakkho) is<br />
a successful surgeon but<br />
nonetheless reminds her<br />
daughter that we have to<br />
accept the reality we live<br />
in. Most damaged of all is<br />
her brother Mehran (Reza<br />
Sixo Safai). A crack addict<br />
recently released from jail,<br />
he is desperately looking<br />
for a way to fit in to society<br />
and not surprisingly turns<br />
to religion.<br />
His twisted sense of holiness<br />
leads him to become<br />
a member of the morality<br />
police and from his lofty<br />
perch puts his whole family<br />
under surveillance. Atafeh’s<br />
vitality and especially her<br />
life-affirming relationship<br />
with Shireen is more than<br />
he can stand, and he sets<br />
out to crush it in a series<br />
of actions that irrevocably<br />
alters the close and loving<br />
ties that once bound the<br />
family members as allies,<br />
not adversaries. It’s within<br />
these crushing circumstances<br />
that people like<br />
Atafeh and Shireen do their<br />
best to find a modicum<br />
of peace and hope, but it<br />
doesn’t work for all of them.<br />
For obvious reasons,<br />
Keshavarz shot the film in<br />
Lebanon, and even there<br />
she had to stretch the<br />
bounds of what was acceptable.<br />
Having grown up in<br />
the U.S. and Iran, she is<br />
able to look at the culture<br />
from the inside and has<br />
a keen eye for the telling<br />
image or subtle gesture,<br />
ably assisted by cinematographer<br />
Brian Rigney Hubbard.<br />
In one striking scene<br />
at the seaside, she frames<br />
a group of men lounging in<br />
bathing suits seated next<br />
to women in their black<br />
hijabs. On the other hand,<br />
scenes of the girls buoyantly<br />
bounding down the<br />
street and partying in the<br />
clubs are shot in saturated<br />
colors, contrasting with the<br />
drabness of everyday life.<br />
Drawing on relatives<br />
from her extended family,<br />
Keshavarz clearly knows<br />
these people well and has<br />
managed to create distinct<br />
and individual characters<br />
on both sides of the political<br />
spectrum. In this she is<br />
aided by fine performances<br />
from relative newcomers<br />
Boosheri and Kazemy as<br />
the teenage girls, and the<br />
sympathetic grace of Iranian<br />
stage veterans Parsa<br />
and Pakkho as the parents.<br />
Together the director and<br />
her cast have managed<br />
to give the film a sense of<br />
complete authenticity.<br />
At times, however, Keshavarz<br />
may have been too<br />
close to these people and<br />
occasionally it feels like she<br />
is trying to squeeze in too<br />
much detail. Particularly<br />
in the early going, the film<br />
seems like it’s simmering<br />
rather than gaining momentum.<br />
Some judicious trims<br />
would help that. But overall<br />
this is an impressive debut<br />
from a filmmaker with<br />
something to say and the<br />
talent to say it. THR<br />

World<br />
Camera focus on<br />
Travolta, Zellweger, Fox<br />
By Scott Roxborough<br />
THERE’S A SCENE IN<br />
Sophia Coppola’s<br />
Somewhere where<br />
a <strong>Hollywood</strong> star,<br />
played by Stephen Dorff,<br />
travels to Italy to receive<br />
a lifetime achievement<br />
award. Dorff doesn’t quite<br />
understand what’s going<br />
on but it is obviously a<br />
huge deal for the locals.<br />
If Somewhere were set in<br />
Germany, that prize would<br />
be the Golden Camera.<br />
Barely known outside<br />
the country, inside Germany<br />
the awards ranks<br />
alongside the Oscars and<br />
the Grammys as the most<br />
prestigious and bragworthy<br />
honor the entertainment<br />
industry has to<br />
offer. Between 4-6 million<br />
Germans tune in every<br />
year to watch the threehour<br />
awards show.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Golden Camera’s<br />
honor roll is an encyclopedia<br />
of A-listers from Meryl<br />
Streep, Jodie Foster, Clint<br />
Eastwood and Arnold<br />
My favorite part of the<br />
Golden Camera Awards are those<br />
surprising, emotional moments that<br />
we have every year.” — CHRISTIAN HELLMANN<br />
Schwarzenegger to Cate<br />
Blanchett, Robert de Niro,<br />
Richard Gere and both<br />
Michael and Kirk Douglas.<br />
This year the gilded trophies<br />
went to John Travolta<br />
and Rene Zellweger and to<br />
12<br />
the lifetime achievement<br />
honor to Michael J. Fox.<br />
In the Golden Camera’s<br />
musical categories, winners<br />
included disco queen Gloria<br />
Gaynor and Italian popstar<br />
Eros Ramazzotti.<br />
German listings magazine<br />
Horzu organizes the<br />
Cameras and, together with<br />
a jury of industry professionals,<br />
picks the winners.<br />
“For the international<br />
winners we always have a<br />
list of three or four names,”<br />
says Horzu editor-in-chief<br />
Christian Hellmann. “We<br />
don’t always get the number<br />
one but we rarely go below<br />
number three. Germany<br />
might not be <strong>Hollywood</strong><br />
but it is still one of the most<br />
important international<br />
markets and the really big<br />
stars understand that.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> actual Golden<br />
Camera show has the sort<br />
of casual charm the Golden<br />
Globes used to have — this<br />
year, Danny De Vito paused<br />
Renee Zellweger and<br />
Danny DeVito flank<br />
lifetime achivement<br />
honoree Michael J. Fox.<br />
during his laudation for<br />
Michael J. Fox to hike up<br />
his trousers — combined<br />
with a heavy dose of tearjerking<br />
sentiment.<br />
“My favorite part of the<br />
Golden Camera Awards are<br />
those surprising, emotional<br />
moments that we have<br />
every year,” says Christian<br />
Hellmann, an executive<br />
with Horzu publisher Axel<br />
Springer. “Like last year,<br />
when we had Michael<br />
Douglas as a surprise guest<br />
– to present Danny De Vito<br />
his lifetime achievement<br />
award. You could see in<br />
De Vito’s face that he was<br />
completely surprised and<br />
touched. That’s something<br />
you can’t fake.”<br />
This year the surprise<br />
moment came not from one<br />
of the <strong>Hollywood</strong> VIPs but<br />
from a local girl. German<br />
sports journalist Monica<br />
Lierhaus, who had spent the<br />
last two years recuperating<br />
from a near fatal brain<br />
aneurysm, took the stage.<br />
After thanking her family,<br />
friends and doctors she<br />
turned to her partner and,<br />
on live TV, asked him to<br />
marry her. <strong>The</strong>re wasn’t a<br />
dry eye in the house. THR<br />

<strong>The</strong> A List<br />
Chess masters, call girls and haunted houses – five market<br />
titles likely to heat up chilly Berlin<br />
<strong>The</strong> Greatest Movie Ever<br />
Sold (USA)<br />
Dir. Morgan Spurlock<br />
Sony Pictures snatched up<br />
North American rights to<br />
Spurlock’s meta-documentary,<br />
in which the Super-<br />
Size Me director tries to<br />
get companies to sponsor<br />
his film, in a pre-emptive<br />
strike ahead of Sundance.<br />
Spurlock’s combination of<br />
frat-boy humor and barbed<br />
social critique has proved<br />
a winner before. CAA is<br />
hoping the mix will help it<br />
sell-out <strong>The</strong> Greatest Movie<br />
worldwide in Berlin. Sales<br />
Agent: CAA<br />
Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark<br />
(USA)<br />
Dir. Troy Nixey<br />
This chiller marks the<br />
directorial debut of illustrator<br />
Troy Nixey, who’s<br />
worked with comic book<br />
greats including Neil<br />
Gaiman, Mike Mignola<br />
and Matt Wagner. Starring<br />
Katie Holmes and Guy<br />
Pearce and produced by el<br />
maestro del horror Guillermo<br />
del Toro, this take on<br />
the haunted house genre<br />
(a remake of the 1973 TV<br />
movie of the same name)<br />
has salivating geek classic<br />
written all over it. Sales<br />
Agent: Pathe International<br />
<strong>The</strong> Albanian (Germany)<br />
Dir. Johannes Naber<br />
Johannes Naber’s directorial<br />
debut won top honors at<br />
Germany’s Max-Ophuls-Festival<br />
in January, a gold-seal<br />
of approval for quality arthouse.<br />
<strong>The</strong> drama examines<br />
the dark side of the European<br />
dream: A young man in<br />
contemporary Albania flees<br />
Europe’s poorest country<br />
for its richest (Germany),<br />
desperate to earn enough<br />
money to pay a dowry that<br />
will save his family from<br />
dishonor and his clan from<br />
violent reprisals. Sales Agent:<br />
Aktis Film International<br />
23<br />
X (Australia)<br />
Dir. Jon Hewitt<br />
Sometimes the tag line<br />
does say it all: A jaded<br />
call-girl. A fledgling<br />
hooker. <strong>The</strong> night from<br />
hell. This Sydney-set<br />
hookers-in-danger film<br />
from genre specialist Jon<br />
Hewitt has been getting<br />
major buzz ahead of its<br />
Berlin market premiere<br />
and has already locked<br />
up distribution in the<br />
U.S. (through IFC) and<br />
the U.K. (Revolver). Sales<br />
Agent: Celluloid Nightmares<br />
Don’t be Afraid<br />
of the Dark<br />
Bobby Fischer Against <strong>The</strong><br />
World (USA)<br />
Dir. Elizabeth Garbus<br />
David Fincher found Bobby<br />
Fischer’s bizarre, spectacular<br />
and tragic life so fascinating<br />
he’s boarded Sony Pictures’<br />
Fischer biopic Pawn Sacrifice<br />
with Tobey Maguire set<br />
to play the Brooklyn chess<br />
genius. That makes’ Elizabeth<br />
Garbus’ documentary<br />
on Fischer an even more<br />
compelling gambit for international<br />
buyers. Coming off<br />
rave reviews in Sundance,<br />
the story of Fischer’s rise<br />
during the Cold War and<br />
his subsequent collapse into<br />
Beautiful Mind-like paranoia<br />
features rare archival<br />
footage of the grandmaster<br />
and interviews with his closest<br />
circle. Sales Agent: Ealing<br />

for independent fi lm today covering co-production and soft money, sales and distribution guarantees,<br />
equity and gap. It may be one of the toughest times in recent history for producers to get their projects<br />
fi nanced but it‘s also a time rich with opportunity. What‘s the way forward?<br />

<strong>The</strong> Role of the Sales Agent In a tougher climate for banking and presales, sales agents are<br />
increasingly being asked to back up territorial sales estimates with hard cash. Now, more than ever, sales<br />
agents aren’t just responsible for developing a strategy to market and sell fi lms and brokering deals, but<br />
some are also developing an appetite for risk and putting up capital.<br />

3D: Fab or Fad? <strong>The</strong> world has jumped on the 3D bandwagon. From blockbusters such as Avatar<br />
and Alice in Wonderland to independent productions Step Up 3D and <strong>The</strong> Three Musketeers to Wim<br />
Wenders’s dance fi lm Pina, producers, sales agents and exhibitors are embracing stereophonic technology<br />
for its promise in opening up a new dimension for artistic expression and revenue growth. But can the<br />
3D boom last? Already there are signs of 3D fatigue in the U.S. Market, with audience jaded by a fl ood<br />
of low-quality 3D titles. Farther down the chain, the uptake of 3D home entertainment systems has<br />
lagged behind expectations. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Hollywood</strong> <strong>Reporter</strong> discusses with its panel of 3D experts the future of<br />
stereoscopic cinema and separates the hope from the hype.<br />

Berlin<br />
CONTINUED FROM 1<br />
exhibition of his art work.<br />
You see it in the packed Berlin<br />
clubs — the Berghain,<br />
Watergate, Cookies or<br />
Tresor — meccas for the<br />
international techno crowd.<br />
You even see it in the ghetto<br />
chic of Kreuzberg and<br />
Neukolln, where the strong<br />
immigrant population holds<br />
out against the forces of<br />
gentrifi cation and where<br />
real Berliners go to party.<br />
“When I set up my own<br />
label in 2006, I could have<br />
gone anywhere. I could<br />
have gone to London or<br />
Paris, but I consciously<br />
chose Berlin,” says Michael<br />
Michalsky, the hottest of<br />
the rising troupe of Berlin<br />
fashion designers and<br />
the man Karl Lagerfeld<br />
already has crowned as his<br />
successor. “As a designer, I<br />
feel I’m a seismograph of<br />
society. And in Berlin, the<br />
future is being lived on the<br />
streets. This is where I fi nd<br />
my inspiration.”<br />
Michalsky is a busy man.<br />
He recently presented his<br />
new fall/winter collection<br />
at Berlin’s fashion week<br />
as part of an event that<br />
included the German premiere<br />
of Tron: Legacy. And<br />
he has just designed a new<br />
bar — the Catwalk Bar in<br />
the Marriott on Potsdamer<br />
Platz — where the barstools<br />
are named aft er supermodels<br />
and guests can sip<br />
vitamin cocktails while<br />
they look down on VIPs<br />
rushing to catch the next<br />
Berlin International Film<br />
Festival gala.<br />
This sort of cross-pollination<br />
between fi lm and fashion,<br />
of music, high art and<br />
club culture, has been one<br />
of the keys to Berlin’s rise<br />
on the hipster meter. Young<br />

Europe and around the<br />
world have swarmed into<br />
the city where the underground<br />
rubs against haute<br />
couture, <strong>Hollywood</strong> and<br />
the avant-garde hang at the<br />
same clubs, and you can<br />
rent a spacious loft for the<br />
price of a closet in London.<br />
In fact, Berlin is cheap<br />
— that’s part of the appeal.<br />
Soaring real estate prices<br />
have driven the starving<br />
artists out of downtown<br />
Paris, London and New<br />
York. But Berlin, with no<br />
real industry to speak of,<br />
has only the artists to rely<br />
on. Here, coolness is an<br />
economic survival strategy.<br />
As Berlin Mayor Klaus<br />
Wowereit puts it, coining<br />
the city’s unoffi cial motto,<br />
“Berlin is poor — but sexy.”<br />
“Berlin has made culture<br />
its primary industry,” Berlin<br />
festival boss Dieter Kosslick<br />
says. “Music, fi lm, art,<br />

“Berlin’s got an excellent<br />
mix of people, from the<br />

of the Berlin School to the<br />
<strong>Hollywood</strong> productions at<br />
Studio Babelsberg, from Til<br />
Schweiger Schweiger to to [new German<br />
production giant] UFA<br />
Cinema,” says Wolfgang<br />
Braun, Braun, ex-head ex-head of Disney<br />
Germany and current boss<br />
of indie distributor Kinowelt.<br />
“At Kinowelt, we want<br />
to be the No. 1 indie in Germany,<br />
so Berlin is the place<br />
we’ve got to be.”<br />
Braun had no problem<br />
persuading Kinowelt parent<br />
StudioCanal to move<br />
the company’s HQ to the<br />
German capital. Or to have<br />
the European premiere<br />
of its biggest fi lm, the<br />
Johnny Depp-Angelina<br />
Jolie thriller <strong>The</strong> Tourist,<br />
on Potsdamer Platz. <strong>The</strong><br />
crowds were huge, the<br />
media — fi lm critics aside<br />
— ecstatic. <strong>The</strong> paparazzi<br />
were restrained and polite.<br />
In what other city but Berlin<br />
could Brad Pitt stroll<br />
through unmolested, four<br />
kids in tow, as he did on the<br />
day of the Tourist gala?<br />
<strong>The</strong> story of Berlin’s rise<br />
to the zenith of European<br />
club culture has been told<br />
before. During the early<br />
1990s, East Berlin was an<br />
empty shell. Aft er the fall of<br />
the Wall, the locals left , en<br />
masse, to the West, leaving<br />
row upon row of abandoned<br />
factories and concrete<br />
housing estates. <strong>The</strong>n, from<br />
the West came students<br />
and DJs — would-be artists<br />
and characters with names<br />
like Till “103 Club” Harter,<br />
Heinz “Cookies” Gindullis<br />
or Dimitri “Tresor”<br />
Hegemann — who saw an<br />
49<br />
opportunity and opened<br />
illegal underground clubs<br />
in warehouses, cellars and<br />
desolate storefronts.<br />
“Back then there were no<br />
rules,” Harter recalls. “You<br />
could just squat in a spot,<br />
set up a club and go.”<br />
Although he says he’s not<br />
nostalgic, when Harter talks<br />
about Berlin during the<br />
early ’90s, he can’t suppress<br />
a wry smile.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re was no Internet,<br />
no cell phones,” he says.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re were barely any land<br />
lines in East Berlin back<br />
then; everything was wordof-mouth.<br />
Everyone in the<br />
scene knew everyone else.”<br />
Berlin’s club culture<br />
was DIY and spontaneous.<br />
Clubs would pop up,<br />
become the “in” place and<br />
disappear during the course<br />
of a few months. Others, like<br />
Cookies, made a virtue out<br />
of transience, shift ing from<br />
location to location and<br />
open only midweek for the<br />
hard-core clubbers.<br />
“It was just at the<br />
moment when a generation<br />
was switching from rock<br />
’n’ roll to electronic music,<br />
to dance music,” Harter<br />
says. “DJs came to Berlin<br />
because there were so many<br />
great spots to perform in.<br />
And because it was so cheap<br />
to live here, they stayed<br />
and made it their home. It<br />
was just the right place at<br />
the right time. It all came<br />
together in Berlin.”<br />
Two decades later,<br />
Harter is still here, and<br />
spots like his Bar Tausend<br />
in Mitte — where Leonardo<br />
DiCaprio and Ben Stiller<br />
hung out during the 2010<br />
Berlin fest — are still shaping<br />
the scene.<br />
Harter worries that the<br />
hype around Berlin could<br />
ruin the vibe. “Hype is<br />
always dangerous,” he says.<br />
But so far, this city hasn’t<br />
lost its mojo. Twentysomething<br />
clubbers still hop<br />
budget fl ights to Schoenefeld<br />
Airport for a 72-hour<br />
pilgrimage to the techno<br />
temples of Berghain, the<br />
Watergate and Tresor. <strong>The</strong><br />
illegal scene still thrives in<br />
the rougher Neukolln district,<br />
where they celebrate<br />
Sparkasse parties: taking<br />
over an ATM enclosure and<br />
clubbing till the cops come.<br />
Berlin has cleaned up a<br />
bit during the past 20 years.<br />
You can dine at a Michelinstarred<br />
restaurant, hit<br />
Friedrichtstrasse for your<br />
pret-a-porter accessories or<br />
spoil yourself at Soho House’s<br />
Cowshed Spa. But it’s by<br />
keeping it street that Berlin<br />
has kept its edge. “Berlin’s<br />
underground culture,<br />
that’s the appeal — that’s<br />
why the stars want to come<br />
here, and that’s why people<br />
keep coming back,” says<br />
Christoph Fisser, co-head of<br />
Berlin is everything<br />
Germany is not: spontaneous,<br />
exciting, open and cosmopolitan.”<br />
— K.P. KOFLER, CHEF/CATERER<br />
Studio Babelsberg, whose<br />
recent guests included Liam<br />
Neeson and January Jones<br />
in Unknown and Quentin<br />
Tarantino and the Inglourious<br />
Basterds crew.<br />
“London might still have<br />
the class, if you’re looking<br />
for that,” he says. “But for<br />
the underground, Berlin<br />
still beats them all.” THR<br />

“Speaking of a crisis<br />

<strong>The</strong> old financing<br />

With healthy dealmaking<br />
at Sundance<br />
melting into the memory,<br />
the EFM marks the<br />
year’s first major global<br />
test bed for the hardedged<br />
optimism among<br />
buyers and sellers alike.<br />
Former Filmax<br />
International director<br />
Vicente Canales, who<br />
exited the Spanish indie<br />
giant to set up his own<br />
sales banner Film Factory<br />
Entertainment, is<br />
wary of the prospects<br />
for mid-range or undefined<br />
projects.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> market is working<br />
very well for big<br />
films and for special or<br />
different films, regardless<br />
of the budget,”<br />
Canales said. “<strong>The</strong><br />
mid-range or undefined<br />
product is what’s very<br />
complicated to sell. Distributors<br />
are conservative<br />
and if they have any<br />
doubts, they’ll wait to<br />
see the finished film.”<br />
Canales’ debut sales<br />
slate in Berlin includes<br />
Dick Mass’ Saint<br />
and Daniel Sanchez<br />
50<br />
Vampire<br />
Arevalo’s Cousinhood.<br />
Alexander van Dulmen<br />
of Berlin-based A<br />
Company is also cautiously<br />
optimistic ahead<br />
of the EFM, noting that<br />
most markets in Eastern<br />
Europe where A Company<br />
does its business<br />
have bounced back.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re are more, and<br />
more interesting, projects<br />
for pre-sale this<br />
year than I’d expected,”<br />
van Dulmen said. “And<br />
the ones that have<br />
cast attached have big<br />
names. <strong>The</strong> only thing<br />
really missing is horror.<br />
We don’t see any<br />
high-end U.S. horror<br />
titles like the Saw films,<br />
which have done so well<br />
for us in the past.”<br />
Market optimism is<br />
born out in the EFM’s<br />
hard data this year.<br />
Attendance has jumped<br />
some 250 to 6,700 with<br />
nearly 100 more buyers<br />
in town.<br />
“I’ve noticed screenings<br />
are getting fuller<br />
and fuller,” Canales said.<br />
“You can’t say we<br />
are back to the years<br />
of plenty,” added EFM<br />
director Beki Probst,<br />
“but you are starting<br />
to see a recovery. If<br />
companies used to send<br />
five people and during<br />
the crises they sent one<br />
or two, they are sending<br />
three this year.”<br />

will be screening eight<br />
minutes of footage from<br />
Bob Marley documentary<br />
Marley, directed<br />
by Oscar-winner Kevin<br />

Fortissimo is also<br />
coming off the global<br />
sales success of Winter’s<br />
Bone. But company<br />
chairman Michael Werner<br />
isn’t quite ready to<br />
announce the crisis over.<br />
“Despite some successes,<br />
there are still far<br />
more films that don’t<br />
work than films that do<br />
work,” he said.<br />
For now, however,<br />
the optimists seem to<br />
have the upper hand.<br />
As one U.S. agency<br />

association for the study of<br />
the Western, a non-profit<br />
group which boasts the<br />
world’s largest collection of<br />
Western literature worldwide<br />
outside the Library of<br />
Congress.<br />
But Bischoff, like most<br />
Germans, sympathized<br />
more with the Indians than<br />
the palefaces.<br />
“When the roles were<br />
chosen (to play cowboy and<br />
Indians), everybody wanted<br />
to be an Indian,” he says.<br />
“It was left to the losers to<br />
play the cowboy. Playing<br />
Indians connected us to<br />
the land of our dreams, the<br />
officially scorned capitalist<br />
America.”<br />
But love of these “imperialist”<br />
movies didn’t suit<br />
East Berlin’s communist<br />
regime. Instead of fighting<br />
their people’s love of<br />
Once Upon<br />
a Time in<br />
the West<br />
Westerns, they decided to<br />
replace American cowboy<br />
movies with state-approved<br />
homemade “Indianerfilms”<br />
or Indian Films. In these<br />
East Germany productions,<br />
the traditional hero roles<br />
are reversed.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> imperialist cowboy<br />
was substituted by the<br />
anti-imperialist Indian<br />
who was honored for his<br />
brave resistance to Yankee<br />
greed and imperialism,”<br />
says Bischoff. “<strong>The</strong>y<br />
were really just agitprop.<br />
But popular. Form 1966<br />
through 1975, DEFA studios<br />
made one ‘Indianerfilm’<br />
a year.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Western has gone in<br />
and out of style in America.<br />
Many are hailing True Grit,<br />
with its 10 Oscar nominations<br />
and U.S. box office<br />
success, as a return to<br />
form for the genre. But in<br />
Germany, East and West,<br />
there’s no need for a Westerns<br />
comeback. German<br />
cowboys and Indians never<br />
hung up their guns. THR<br />

Focus,<br />
Universal<br />
go into Debt<br />
By Borys Kit<br />
THE DEBT HAS FOUND<br />
a distributor in Focus<br />
Features and Universal<br />
Pictures International.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Miramax movie,<br />
which stars Helen Mirren<br />
and Sam Worthington<br />
amongst others, found<br />
itself adrift when Disney<br />
shut down its Miramax<br />
label. After a premiere at<br />
last year’s Toronto Film<br />
Festival, it was due to<br />
open in December but the<br />
sale of the specialty division<br />
scuttled those plans.<br />
Now the Nazi-hunting<br />
espionage thriller directed<br />
by John Madden will be<br />
released domestically by<br />
Focus August 31. UPI will<br />
release it internationally.<br />
<strong>The</strong> movie cuts<br />
between two time periods<br />
to tell the fictional story<br />
of how three young<br />
Israeli Mossad agents on<br />
a secret mission capture<br />
and kill a notorious Nazi<br />
war criminal in 1965.<br />
Thirty years later, a man<br />
claiming to be the Nazi<br />
surfaces in Ukraine, and<br />
one of the former agents<br />
must go back undercover<br />
to seek out the truth.<br />
“We are delighted that<br />
Focus and Universal Pictures<br />
International have<br />
come on board,” said<br />
producer Kris Thykier<br />
in a statement. “<strong>The</strong>ir<br />
enthusiasm for the<br />
movie is palpable, their<br />
track record is second<br />
to none, and we couldn’t<br />
wish for better partners.<br />
We are especially grateful<br />
to the new Miramax<br />
for their commitment to<br />
finding the right home<br />
for the film.” THR<br />
