Ladybird(2017)
Comedy
“I wish I could live through something.“ The yearning for experience is what director Greta Gerwig expresses through her protagonist. A yearning that‘s especially big when you‘re just starting your life and feel as though you haven‘t seen anything and your own bubble is too close to recognize its individual beauty. Christine McPherson (Saorise Ronan), who calls herself “Lady Bird,“ is bored of idyllic Sacramento, her sheltered California, and the year 2002. She lets it out on her mother (Laurie Metcalf). She works double shifts in the hospital, her husband has become unemployed and has to compete with younger people on the job market. The daughter and mother are constantly fighting: Lady Bird is annoyed by the adult problems that seem to stand in her way, her mother doesn‘t feel valued for all of her sacrifices. At the surface the two have friction because of something like the car radio, but actually it‘s the process of cutting the cord that is hard for both of them. It‘s hard for the parents that their child doesn‘t need them anymore. It‘s hard for the children to still need their parents. Lady Bird has her first time in the film. It isn‘t like she imagined it would be, of course. His name is Kyle, he‘s in a band, smokes rolled cigarettes, and lives on the “right side of the tracks,“ meaning the dream houses of the wealthy and not where Lady Bird and her family live. When she leaves his house close to tears, she walks past the father who is sleeping in an armchair. Her mother is waiting outside in the car and she falls into her arms crying.

The Florida Project(2017)
Drama
On a highway right right next to Disney World there aren‘t any real “projects,“ there are just hotels, most of them built in the 80s. The hotels try to take part in the Disney tourist stream in and have copied the Disney look in a way that is possible with no license from the cooperation. Tourists used to live here, but by now the hotels are permanent interim solutions for people who have lost their homes. Permanently living in a hotel is expensive and it‘s illegal in Florida on top of that. The state doesn‘t want to have poor ghettos in hotels. Sean Baker‘s THE FLORIDA PROJECT is set in one of these hotels, the brightly purple Magic Casle Motel. Little Moonee lives here with her 22 year old mother Halley who lost her job as a stripper. The film follows Moonee and her kid clique in their daily shenanigans: spitting on cars, scrounging up money for ice cream, and annoying Bobby (Willem Defoe), the grumpy but caring hotel manager. Life in these colorful dens is a constant adventure for the children, while the adults are busy getting enough money for the rent. Bobby has to make sure that his permanent tenants move out once a month. He keeps a room free for them, tries to find a replacement hotel, and gives them a loan that he doesn‘t except to get back. Sean Baker calles his film a „modern version of Hal Roach‘s THE LITTLE RASCALS.“ Like in STARLET and TANGERINE, he finds glamour and solidarity on the fringes of bourgeois society. THE FLORIDA PROJECT is fun, moving – and looks great to boot. Hannes Stein (INDIEKINO MAGAZIN) Translation: Elinor Lewy
