Benjamin Heisenberg’s DER RAUBER Trailer

source QuietEarth 

DER RAUBER (The Robber) is the second full length feature from new German director Benjamin Heisenberg and stars Andreas Lust as Johannes Rattenberger in a true story of an Athelete who became obbessed with robbing banks as a "hobby".

Even during robberies he still thinks like an athelete by measuring his heart rate, stamina and efficiency. Even hidding his passion from his girlfriend  he needs to get his regular fix of heists but he has no goal and like an athlete he must always be alert and on the go.

Like our source QuietEarth I dont know much about the story of Rettenberger apart from the movie is based on a Martin Prinz novel about the athlete who was knicked named "Pump Gun Ronnie". The movie is part of the Berlin International festival  which is currently happening in the city at the moment.

The movie is actually an Austrian movie and according to Imdb the movie is due to be released in Austria sometime this month so it may already be out, anyway check out the trailer below:

Trailer for British Indie post apoclayptic thriller THE LAST SEVEN

Above is the teaser trailer for British Indie thriller THE LAST SEVEN  which stars Tamer Hassan, Simon Phillips, Daisy Head, Sebastian Street, Rita Ramnani, John Mawson, Ronan Vibert and Danny Dyer. .

The movie is set in London after an cataclysmic event leaves only seven people left in the world (just all happen to be in London!). No one has a clue what happened and as they try to come to terms of the event  they dont realise that there's something nasty tracking them!!

Right away you can see films like I Am Legend and 28 days later  have inspired this movie and the teaser does what it does does n't give you much away. The only quarrel I have with this, is there isnt any household names with Tamer Hassan and Danny "F*****g" Dyer not really crowd pullers, but it does look ok just  just wondering how good it'll do? Possibly would do better as a TV mini/ one off drama?

The movie is the directoral debut from Imran Naqvi and I dont have a release date but Ill think it'll be very soon in UK as its advertising as winter 2010 and will probably come out as a limited release.

Classy Crime-Noir POUTA (Walking Too Fast)

source TwitchFilm
Nothing better than a old style crime drama set behind the former iron curtain, full of conspiracies, backstabbers and 'missing' persons. I have a friend who now lives in Scotland and was in Slovakia (then part of Czech Republic) and she would tell me about how bad it was and even simple things we take for granted it would have been a miracle then, so a crime genre during the cold war is perfect setting.

POUTA (Walking Too Fast) is the latest movie from Czech director Radim Spacek which is based in 1982 Czechoslovakia when the country was ruled by a totalitarian regime and Anton is an secret Police member. Bored of life, bored, uneasy of the current regime at time seen as pyschopathic he breaks the rules he has followed for many years by not as civic or political statement but a rebellious statement of boredom. Anton is also fascinated with a girl called Klara not through love but for a chanel of escape but his passion sees him up against the people he works for and works against

POUTA is out now in Czech Republic.
