Da jeg traff Jesus… med sprettert 2000

Storyline:

Little Oddemann uses every means available to find Jesus, including his slingshot. The film takes us to Norway in the late 30’s, where we meet a series of burlesque and humorous characters, whose antics convince Oddemann that growing up may be a bad idea. Yet Oddemann finds there are certain rewards to being grown-up, such as partying and chasing women, that merit closer examination. The film is based on a book of childhood reminiscences by beloved Norwegian poet and Jazz lyricist Odd Børretzen.

1h 45min | Comedy, Drama, Romance | TV Movie 28 November 1993

The beautiful Hebe has been cast out by her family after a teenage pregnancy to a masked stranger during a fiesta in Italy.

1h 28min | Family, Adventure | TV Movie 25 December 1977

User review:

It’s not easy to describe this film to non-Germans, unfamiliar with either Max von der Grün’s children’s novel or those that are unfamiliar with Germany’s post-ww2 social issues. However, if you born after 1970 in (then) West-Germany, it is likely that you have read the book in school or saw the following film on TV.

Le ring 2007

Le ring 2007
1h 27min | Drama | 14 October 2007 (Canada)

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.
