Barefoot to the Neck 2009
Barfuß bis zum Has (original title)
1h 33min | Comedy | 11 June 2009 (Germany)
User review:
If you ever doubted that Germans are pretty cool about nudity, here’s the final proof. This made-for-TV feature film tells the struggle of a nudist campsite in Brandenburg against the new owner, a conservative Bavarian businessman. It also tells the struggle of Jakob, the son of the campsite’s spokesman, against his seemingly open and tolerant father. Nearly every actor in this film had to let his clothes fall at one point or another, some of them had to put them on for some scenes. What might be shocking to some viewers, however, turns out to be mostly harmless. There is good acting, OK dialogue and few surprises in the plot – if you don’t count the unexpected use of the word “eggwarmers”. Still, enough for a nice TV-evening you won’t regret.

User review:
In Kazakhstan life is hard and childhood, as we know it, is virtually non-existent. Children and adults alike do what they can to get by. Emir Baigazin’s remarkable. virtually plot less film is divided into a number of chapters, each one examining boys struggling with the pain of the everyday and a life, if a life it is, far removed from what we in the West are used to.

User review:
This movie was selected in 3 film festivals: Berlin (Germany) 2008, Pusan (South Korea) 2007 and India 2007. I believe it was the first movie that directed Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette which is only 28 years-old. It was from my point of view very well directed and I am looking forward to watch her future work. The main actor of this movie, Maxime Desjardins-Tremblay was also in his premiere, having never acted before. In short, he was OUTSTANDING. He interprets 12-year-old Jessy who has a tough childhood in Hochelaga (an underprivileged area of Montreal) growing up into a broken home. Basically, Jessy uses wrestling to escape from his chaotic family life. Although, the story isn’t about wrestling but about the courage and determination of its 12-year-old character.
