Filmschnite 03: Impatience of the heart
One night of bowling, one misunderstanding — and one moment that changes two lives forever. Driven by shame, pity and a desire for purpose, a young soldier feigns affection for a disabled woman, giving her hope that she might walk again. However, her growing distrust and his obsession with her recovery create a frantic downward spiral that pulls everyone into misfortune.
Sentimental value
Director Gustav Borg (played by Stellan Skarsgård) has always prioritised work over his relationship with his daughters, Nora (played by Renate Reinsve – The Worst Person in the World) and Agnes. When Nora, now an acclaimed stage actress, refuses a role in his new film, Gustav turns to the young and ambitious Hollywood star Rachel Kemp (played by Elle Fanning).
Based on a tragedy that took place in their family home, Gustav's new film eventually captures the attention of his daughters, too.
Filmschnite 03: The Devil's Bath
Upper Austria, 1750. A deep, dark forest engulfs the sunlight. The body of an executed woman is displayed on a hill. As evidence. As a warning. As a sign.
Deeply religious and highly sensitive, Agnes (played by Anja Plaschg) gazes at the dead woman with compassion and longing. She feels like a stranger in the world of her recently married husband, Wolf (played by David Scheid). It is a cold, work-filled world of obligations and expectations. Agnes increasingly withdraws into herself. Her inner prison grows ever tighter and her melancholy grows ever stronger. Soon, violence seems like the only way out.
The Bride!
Set in 1930s Chicago, the film tells the story of a lonely Frankenstein (Christian Bale) who seeks the help of Dr Euphronius in creating a companion. Together, they revive a murdered young woman (Lily Buckley), but the result exceeds their expectations. The newly awakened 'Bride' has an uncontrollable spirit and a desire for freedom. This sparks a radical social movement, attracts the attention of the police and unleashes chaos in the city, turning the quest for love into a violent revolution.
