Blinded by the LightVon Gurinder Chadha, GB 2019; 117 min.
Comedy
Gurinder Chadhas movie is set in 1987: The London suburbs that are on fire, neo-Nazis through the streets, Thatcher is annoying to the Power of the tradition-obsessed father. That is why the Pakistani high school student Javed (Viveik Kalra) way want. Up to two Bruce Springsteen cassettes change everything: The singer donates to this young man of sense. A great deal of sense.
The situation is as seductive as familiar. You might think that the writer Hanif Kureishi, and Nick Hornby would have concocted the story in Tandem: a cross-cultural feel-good Movie, a popbeladene Coming-of-Age Story. “Blinded by the Light” would not be a more interesting movie if it were constantly only to spring teen ash enlightenment moments.

Good BoysVon Gene Stupnitsky, USA, 2019; 89 min.
Comedy
Three sixth-graders prepare for the first kiss, the party, and the drone of the father for the purposes of research on a couple from the neighborhood. From there, everything goes wrong, what can go wrong.
In the footsteps of Judd Apatows dirty comedies with heart, Lee Eisenberg (screenplay), and Gene Stupnitsky (screenplay and Director) have crafted a sort of “Superbad”-a Prequel. His Comedy of the Film arises from the discrepancy between the good guys and the dirty words, drugs and sex toys, with which you are handling as clueless as researchers and from the touching charm of the young actors.

Un homme presséVon Hervé Mimran, F, 2018, 100 min.
Comedy
A successful car company Manager (Fabrice Luchini) spares neither himself nor his environment. Then he has two strokes and speaks only gibberish. By using a speech therapist (Leïla Bekhti) has to learn the Impatient talk again.
It’s full of clichés in this Comedy, based on the fate of a former Peugeot and Airbus Manager. However, see the value of the Film thanks to the acting performances of Bekhti and especially Luchini is: As of this unintelligible stuff is bubbling away, and at the same time the indignation that he is not understood, is simply stunning.

MonosVon Alejandro Landes, Col 2019; 102 min.
Thriller
In the mountains of Colombia a young group of rebels trained in the application of a vague “organization”. Meanwhile, the young fighters are guarding a hostage, and to take care of a Dairy cow. The two do not go according to Plan.
What is a Teenager, if not a guerrilla group that lives in her own world? The Film combines this idea with the civil war-like conflicts in Colombia, but the borders are aware of in the Diffuse: The question, for what and against whom is this Babyface-soldiers fighting, is blurred in the mountain fog.
More than the nature of symbols, the Thriller qualities to be a part of convince, especially in the Jungle: Director Alejandro country creates surreal-to-noise-like images and has a sense of visual experiments. “Monos” in every Moment, super stylish. (blu)

This on the novel of the Mafia expert Roberto Saviano-based Film tells the story of a group of teenagers, which is transformed, almost without realizing it, into a dangerous gang of murderers.
This visually powerful Film is exciting from the beginning; unnecessary violence orgies how to movies from other Mafia-was fortunately omitted. Minutely is, however, shown the relentless social and especially psychological mechanisms shape the lives of young people in a poor Neapolitan neighborhood. (pfb)
