💗 💗
Thank you so much for having us .14films and 💐

And thank you again and for curating and supporting this evening and of course with being on our side for this special project !

A second screening is taking place this Wednesday !

22/11/2024

💐 Berlin Premiere of BOOMERANG coming up at 💎 💎 next Sunday, 01.12.24 8pm at Kulturbrauererei with a second screening on the 4th of December at 9.15pm at Delphi. See you there !!

Danke für eure Einladung und euren Text zum Film!!

„Boomerang“ ist ein ungewohnlicher Film aus dem Iran. Leicht, philosophisch und verspielt erzählt er von sich verändernden Frauenrollen und dem Verfall traditioneller Männlichkeitsbilder, ohne in düsteren Nihilismus zu verfallen. Shahab Fotouhi verbindet Naturalismus mit surrealen, traumähnlichen Momenten und lässt seine Figuren durch die vielbefahrenen Straßen Teherans gleiten. Dabei fängt er die intime Dynamik einer ganzen Stadt ein.
Dies gelingt vor allem durch eine präzise Montage, für die der georgisch-deutsche Regisseur Aleksandre Koberidze verantwortlich ist, dessen spielerischer Erzählfluss „Boomerang“ prägt und die lebendige Darstellung des urbanen Lebens in Teheran ermöglicht. Einen derart hoffnungsvollen Blick erlaubt sich das iranische Kino selten.
„Boomerang“ feierte seine Weltpremiere bei den Filmfestspielen von Venedig in der renommierten Nebenreihe Giornate Degli Autori.
