Film start: Anora - a colorful love swarm in the cinema

Film start: Anora - a colorful love swarm in the cinema

Lately, several important developments in the film world have become known that affect both old classics and new works. Above all, the award of Sean Baker's film "Anora" at Cannes Film Festival causes discussions. This variant of "Pretty Woman", which was moved to New York, was able to win the Golden Palm and will soon be seen in German cinemas. Kamil Moll describes the film as a mixture of colorful love swarm and an urban crime grotesque. The dynamic narrative moves parallels to previous Hollywood films, but has its own, distinctive note that does not meet enthusiasm for all critics.

The reviews are split; Tobias Kniebe from the Süddeutsche Zeitung is skeptical about the award of the film because he sees a certain absurdity in the present time. Kniebe notices that the representation of the main character, a young and attractive man, puts Richard Gere's image in the shade from the original history. Such performances lead to the question of the authenticity of portrayed relationships and show how far entertainment from realistic representations can be.

The fight against anti -Semitism in the film

Another important point that stimulates discussion comes from Günter Rohrbach, a former film producer. In a conversation with the Zeit he expresses his concern about the increasing anti -Semitism in society. Rohrbach, which is known for having spread the US series "Holocaust" despite resistance in Germany, emphasizes that the current fear of Jews on the street is alarming. He wonders whether the constant representation of Jews as victims in films could contribute to a social understanding that requires a change.

The latest reviews and discussions about films such as "Anora" and the intolerance of anti-Semitism issues require lost reflections about the way stories are told. The film sector is at a point of the re -evaluation, which contains both challenges and opportunities.
