Schweiger returns with Two-Eared Chick
One film stands out among today’s new releases and promises to be a huge hit: Two-Eared Chick [+see also:
trailer
film profile], by and starring Til Schweiger.
The film is a sequel to box office champion Rabbit Without Ears [+see also:
trailer
film profile] (2007), a romantic comedy in which Ludo (Schweiger), an unscrupulous tabloid journalist, ends up sentenced to community service led by an old classmate, Anna (Nora Tschirner), who is now a schoolteacher. Hostile at first, their relationship soon turns into love.
Two-Eared Chick, also produced by Schweiger’s Cologne-based company, Barefoot Films, but this time co-directed by Torsten Künstler, resumes the story of the couple, picking up two years after the end of the first instalment. Their life together, affected by their routine, is turned upside down by the reappearance of their former lovers.
Once again, the screenplay is co-written by Schweiger and Anika Decker. The film is being released by Warner.
This week’s line-up includes two documentaries. Hannes Karnick and Wolfgang Richter’s Wenn Ärzte Töten ("If Doctors Kill") looks back at the implications of the holocaust and other ethnic "cleansings" for the medical staff who were involved. The title is distributed by W-Film.
Meanwhile, Eduard Erne and Christian Schneider’s Austrian/German co-production Herrenkinder traces the lives of two former pupils of the Napola schools (set up to train the Nazi elite) and their families up to the present day, reflecting on the psychological legacy of this inhuman education. The film is distributed by Salzgeber.
Pandora is launching Sergey Dvortsevoy’s international award-winning comedy Tulpan [+see also:
