1942年,在交出《象棋的故事》的手稿後不久,褚威格選擇與妻子雙雙自盡。這部遺作也成為他最著名的作品,同時被認為是曾經驕傲自持的歐洲文化沒落的一首輓歌。
Dr. B在維也納蓋世太保總部被單獨囚禁,永無了期的禁錮磨蝕身心。直到一次偶然發現一本國際象棋書,從此迷上了這項遊戲。他在囚室廁所打造棋盤,與自己進行一場又一場的對弈。這些一切都是記憶,還是幻覺?直到最後一場棋賽中,鬼魅般的人物和場景又再隨每一顆棋子出現。
褚威格的文字從不易改編,導演施托澤描繪一個精英階層在納粹折磨下逐步的身心崩潰,演員Oliver Masucci深刻地演活無法走出棋局及歷史創傷的精神狀態。
Shortly after handing in the manuscript of The Royal Game in 1942, Stefan Zweig chooses a double suicide with his wife. This last work is also his most famous: a swan song to the values of the once proud European culture. The remake now focuses on the story of Dr Band his time in solitary confinement at a Gestapo headquarter in Vienna. There, by chance, he comes across a chess book and learns entire games by heart. Unlike earlier film adaptations, Stölzl adheres less meticulously to the original: the depiction of the physical and mental collapse of an elite class that believes it is immune from the mob until the very end is just one of the new accents that this new film sets.

最美的風景,從來就在不遠處。攝影師Marlene 因兒子Jason 遇上滑雪意外,要送他到瑞士接受康復治療。母子二人由柏林出發,駛過大半個德國,踏上一段意料之外的旅程。以結果為目標的 Marlene 對兒子呵護備至,卻忽略了他的真正需要,令隨時打死罷就的Jason 頓感窒息。
導演Lena Stahl 首次執導,細緻刻劃兩代矛盾,複雜親情剪不斷理還亂,充滿如加拿大導演多藍式的母子愛恨,在親近與疏離之間互相了解,成就這部寫實動人的公路電影。
Her daredevil son Jason's serious accident is a turning point in the life of photographer Marlene. When it becomes clear how severe Jason's injuries are, only a special rehab in Switzerland can help. Marlene decides to drive her son herself all the way from Berlin across Germany. While she has a clear route in mind, Jason does everything he can to convince his mother that life takes place mostly on detours. Mother and son struggle for closeness and distance, disappointing their respective expectations and inevitably ending up in old conflicts. Marlene finds controlling her fear for Jason difficult, while he seems to fear nothing at all. The contrast could not be greater. Something from the past is making its way to the surface, and it takes up more space with every kilometer they drive.

東德彌漫著肅殺的政治氣氛,但Thomas Brasch不羈的光芒無法被暗黑時代所掩蓋。
父親一心效忠東德,但湯馬斯只想寫作,藉此發洩憤怒和空虛。他在酒精和情場中打滾,並以過人才華考入電影學院,但首部劇作即遭查禁。當蘇聯入侵布拉格,他是發起聲援對抗極權的一員。
入獄、政治審查、至親背叛,都沒有讓他的筆桿停下來。他寫詩、寫愛情、寫革命、寫生死,一生不羈放縱愛自由,以文字作為武器,質疑一切權力和制度。即使後來逃至西德,這個浪子仍是無法泊岸。黑白的迷人影像,紀錄德國當代文學鬼才Thomas Brasch的永不屈服的一生。
A powerful biopic about one of Germanys most important writers, shot in black and white, featuring a tour-de-force performance from Albrecht Schuch. East Germany is still young, but Thomas Brasch is already an outsider. He is obsessive, a dreamer and a rebel. Neither the banning of his very first play nor his expulsion from film school stops him from pursuing a career in writing. When Soviet tanks roll through Prague in 1968, Thomas joins the protest on the streets of Berlin, only to be reported by his father and sent to prison. Released on parole, he continues to write about love, revolt, and death. With no prospect of being heard, Thomas flees with the woman he loves, but he does not find fulfilment in the West either.
