FOLLOWING TALK IN PRESENCE OF DIRECTOR JULIAN RADLMAIER
Big fun! Apple harvest in Brandenburg. A colorful group of Berlin art bohemians muster. Right in the middle of it all: film director Julian and his object of adoration Camille (Deragh Campbell). She is lured with getting the main roles in a film, for which he conducts the on-site research. The theme: Post-communism plus Utopia (s).
“In times of neo-liberalism, it is important that other social concepts exist and have existed”, said 32-year-old director JULIAN RADLMAIER. His degree film at the dffb Berlin became the insider tip of the “PERSPECTIVE” series at this year’s BERLINALE. Because he is so easy-going and yet far away from fooling around. Radlmaier: “The most radical communist among my friends had to play an Afd-like guy for punishment.” And what about the dog? This greyhound always provides an ideological superstructure. And, because JEAN RENOIR and PASOLINI inspired Julian the essayistic satire culminates in the dreamland of all Communists, Italy (“Festa de L’Unita”, such a long time ago).
“None of the hopeful directors in the Perspektive Deutsches Kino [Berlinale] dares such a light tone. No author invents more sensitively and fantasises more resolutely than the 32-year-old DFFB graduate.” – Gunda Bartels, TAGESSPIEGEL
_“So much criticism of the system art will be punished with an enthusiastic hug!” _– Thekla Dannenberg, Perlentaucher.de
