A Damn Fine Cup of Culture
A Damn Fine Cup of CultureA Damn Fine Cup of Culture Podcast Christmas Special 2024 It is that time of the year again: snow, carol singing, and Bruce Willis crawling through air vents muttering to himself before he delivers the presents. Which also means: it’s time for our Christmas Special! This year, we’re taking the topic of the summer series as the starting point, remakes – but as everyone knows, these can be naughty or nice, so we’ve asked our guests as well as our regulars to talk about their dream remakes, the ones they would like to see made, or the nightmare remakes which they wouldn’t even wish on the people at...

A Damn Fine Cup of CultureA Damn Fine Espresso: August 2024 Imagine not only being a cinephile, and not only writing and talking about film – but doing this professionally: being a film critic is something many of us in the blogosphere dream of. Meet Alan Mattli: Alan is not only teaching and doing research into literature and film at the University of Zürich, Switzerland, he is also a reviewer for the German-language Swiss film and TV platform Maximum Cinema and (Swiss German) the Maximum Cinema podcast. While his reviews at Maximum Cinema and on his website Facing the Bitter Truth (which he launched in 2008, while still at school), and whi...

Maximum Cinema Filmpodcast#65: Zwei schwarze Vögel zu HalloweenHappy Halloween! Zum Abschluss des Gruselmonats Oktober haben sich Olivia und Alan die neue Netflix-Miniserie von Horrorexperte Mike Flanagan («Midnight Mass») angesehen – doch kann «The Fall of the House of Usher», inspiriert von den Werken von «The Raven»-Autor Edgar Allan Poe, die beiden Literaturwissenschaftler*innen hinter den Mikrofonen überzeugen? Weniger gruselig, dafür ähnlich ornithologisch, geht es bei der Diskussion über das georgisch-schweizerische Drama «Blackbird Blackbird Blackberry» von Elene Naveriani zu und her: Hier sprechen Alan, Olivia und Olivier über starke Figuren, Charakterköpfe und die konventionellen Fallgruben, in die Naveriani nicht tappt. Und zum Schluss...

Zu reden gibt es jedenfalls genug: «Les cinq diables» von Léa Mysius besticht mit seinen Mysteryelementen, sorgt mit gewissen Inszenierungsentscheidungen aber auch für Diskussionen. Der gefeierte Sundance- und A24-Hit «Past Lives» wiederum findet zwar Anklang, vermag Alan und Olivia aber nicht ganz so stark zu begeistern wie den Rest des Internets.

Nach einem Hinweis auf das noch bis am 20. August dauernde Allianz Cinema in Zürich wirft jedes Mitglied des Moderationsteams einen Titel aus der Schweizer Filmgeschichte in die Runde: Alan hat Alfred Rassers Weltkriegssatire «HD-Soldat Läppli» (1959) mitgebracht; Olivia stösst mit Barbara Millers Dokumentation «#Female Pleasure» (2018) eine Diskussion über den sich verschiebenden feministischen Diskurs an; und Oliviers Vorschlag, das Marco-Rima-Vehikel «Handyman» (2006), sorgt für viel ungläubiges Kopfschütteln.Präsentiert von Allianz...

Maximum Cinema Filmpodcast#60: Blaues Meer, roter HimmelOlivia, Olivier und Alan erholen sich immer noch von ihrem «Fast & Furious»-Abenteuer und fragen sich, wie wohl der nächste Film der Reihe heissen könnte. Danach richten sie das Schlaglicht auf das diesjährige Hofkino, das Open-Air-Kino im Innenhof des Landesmuseums in Zürich. Für viel Diskussionsstoff wiederum sorgen die beiden Filme der Woche: «The Little Mermaid», Disneys neuester Versuch eines erfolgreichen Realspielfilm-Remakes eines animierten Klassikers, wirft Fragen über Sinn und Unsinn dieser Übung auf; derweil Christian Petzolds Drama «Roter Himmel» nur zwei Drittel des Moderationsteams begeistern kann.

Dann muss sich Animationsfilmexperte Olivier beim Gespräch über «Suzume» von «Your Name»-Regisseur Makoto Shinkai seinem eigenen Anime-Snobismus stellen, bevor sich das Moderationstrio an die knifflige Frage wagt, ob «Cocaine Bear» gut, schlecht, oder «gut, weil schlecht» ist.Präsentiert von Allianz.

Maximum Cinema Filmpodcast#57: Chris Rock motzt, Elvis Presley patzt, Tom Cruise stirbtOlivia, Olivier und Alan feiern eine Premiere: Zum ersten Mal beim Maximum Cinema Filmpodcast steht ein Stand-up-Comedy-Special zur Debatte. Schade nur, dass es sich dabei um Chris Rocks «Selective Outrage» handelt, in dem der US-Komiker hauptsächlich unlustiges Facebook-Meme-Material vom Stapel lässt – bevor er ein bisschen von Will Smiths Oscar-Ohrfeige erzählt. Und auch die animierte Netflix-Serie «Agent Elvis» verbreitet beim Moderationsteam nicht allzu viel Freude. Zur Kompensation wird aber, anlässlich der Tom-Cruise-Retrospektive im Zürcher Kino Xenix, auch noch über Doug Limans hochgradig unterhaltsamen Sci-Fi-Actionfilm «Edge of Tomorrow» (20...

Dann sind sich alle drei einig, dass Regie-Star Steven Spielberg mit dem autobiografischen «The Fabelmans» einen Film geschaffen hat, den man nicht verpassen sollte. Und dann widmet sich das Moderationstrio Darren Aronofskys «The Whale», in dem der einstige Hollywood-Star Brendan Fraser sein grosses Comeback gibt.

But before the main event, there is this amazing time called advent, where you get to be excited about Christmas for about 3 weeks.

The gem, the German movie GOOD BYE LENIN! delves into the thorny issue of nostalgia, when said nostalgia happens to be about living in a socialist dictatorship. We also briefly discuss Ridley Scott’s THE LAST DUEL and are confused by the title situation of the movie formerly known as EDGE OF...

The gem is Zaho’s second movie THE RIDER ( 24:44 ) about a young cowboy named Brady, who is trying to find his feet again after a devastating rodeo accident.

Is there anything beyond the shiny surface of movie quotes? Or is it enough to simply be cool? We also ask ourselves, whether having a woman revenge herself on a guy who cannot take no for an answer is enough to hail the movie as feminist or whether the situation is more complicated than that. A similarly thorny question arises when that white woman is the undisputed master of martial arts she has learned from East Asian masters. And that...

What better starting point than the sensational FURY ROAD that set cinema screens on fire in 2015 with its epic imagery and the refusal to slow down for a moment. Yet, arguably, the emotional highpoint of the movie is the moment the main character reveals his name. We discuss how director George Miller manages these seeming contradictions with great elegance before looking at how we got here. That means going back to the very beginning of Miller’s career and MAD MAX, very mu...
