  on POLITICAL CINEMA

Her movies hardly match the common german film genres. Sadomasochism, refuge, emancipation and roadtrips. Even her episode for the tv series "Tatort" WEM EHRE GEBÜHRT (2007) evoked a kind of political controversy. With THE LOOK (2011) director Angelina Maccarone portrays the actress Charlotte Rampling through the eyes of others. In our interview she talks about the power of looks and the narration with eyes.

Ihre Filme entziehen sich oft einer Zuordnung innerhalb der jüngeren deutschen Filmlandschaft. Sadomasochismus und Asyldrama, Emanzipation und Roadtrips. Auch ihre Tatort Episode WEM EHRE GEBÜHRT (2007) löste eine Art politische Kontroverse aus. Nun hat die Filmemacherin Angelina Maccarone mit THE LOOK (2011) einen Blick auf die Schauspielerin Charlotte Rampling geworfen. Mit uns hat die Regisseurin über die Kraft der Blicke und die Erzählung durch Augen gesprochen.
