HIT SO HARD<br />
Dir: P. David Ebersole, Scr: P. David Ebersole & todd hughes, <strong>2011</strong>, USA, 101<br />
min.<br />
Patty Schemel, the hard hitting drummer of Courtney Love's seminal rock band<br />
Hole, is not only a master of the sticks, but a true survivor. After growing up as<br />
an outsider near Seattle she shot to stardom in the early 90’s and was engulfed<br />
by the music scene. Patty casually documented her life as a rock star – at band<br />
practice, on the road, backstage and in front of millions of people. She captured<br />
rare, precious moments behind the scenes with Hole and Kurt Cobain and the<br />
intense highs and lows of these dynamic relationships often shaped by an<br />
addiction that consumed her and almost killed her.<br />
Director P. David Ebersole has masterfully woven Patty’s Hi8 videos with<br />
contemporary interviews of Patty, her band mates (including Love, Melissa Auf<br />
der Maur and Eric Erlandson), other musicians, and important figures in Patty’s<br />
life to craft a story that is as beautiful and inspirational as it is a significant<br />
cultural record.<br />

Dir/Scr: tom tykwer, 2010, Germany, subtitled, 119 min.<br />
In one of his most singular and stylish films, German filmmaker Tom Tykwer (RUN<br />
LOLA RUN) returns to Berlin for the setting of this seductive drama centered on an<br />
upscale middle-aged couple whose routine coexistence is upset when they<br />
separately encounter the same man and explore their sexual fluidity.<br />
Complementing an inventive narrative with a slick visual polish and dynamic<br />
soundtrack, Tykwer crafts a sophisticated film full of ideas and themes that range<br />
from erotic to darkly comic to cruel and fatalistic. Sophie Rois (Hanna) and<br />
Sebastian Schipper (Simon) deliver pitch-perfect performances as the married<br />
couple, and Devid Striesow brings a unique dimension to his role as their unwitting<br />
lover, Adam. When a complication threatens to expose their carefully guarded<br />
secrets, the resolution is both surprising and inevitable.<br />
3 premiered at last year’s Venice Film Festival and screened at the Toronto<br />
International Film Festival and earlier this year at the <strong>2011</strong> Berlinale.<br />
