KINOKINOKINO und Kultur:

Bei Rush waeren wir zwar nahe des Todes, aber wie jemand mal gesagt hat, diese zwei ganz grossen Rennfahr-Rivalen, einer ein britischer Playboy, der andere ein humorloser Oesterreicher, von Daniel Bruehl bestens bi shin zum Akzent gespielten Niki Lauda gespielt. Schnelle Formel Eins Autos, aber die nie den beiden Maennern die schau st6ehelen. Ein grosser Unfall mit schweren Folgen, die Lauda gerade durch seinen Ehrgeiz, den Rivalen zu bezwingen, ueberstand und ueberwand, ein Film , der einen mitreisst. Die deutschen Szenen sind nicht synchronisiert, und die deutsche Schauspielerin Alexandra maria Lara schaut true und etwas verschreckt in den vielen Szenen, grosse Charakterentfaltung, was sie bestens kann, blieb ihr versagt, aber einem internationalen Publikum mag sie auffallen.

Unter den Filmen gibt es einen erstaunlich unterhaltsamen Film der Gruppe Metalica, und eine um so unergiebigere Moechtegern Kommoedie , die seicht und unwahrscheinlich die Suche einer all black cast fuer einen Ehemann auf die schnelle zeigt, einfach Zeitverschwendung, beides, danach den letzten Film des Schauspielers James Gandolfini , wo e s auch um Gewicht und Gesundheitsgefahr geht, obwohl e seine schonen Lebensnahe Liebesgeschichte ist, dieses Enough Said. Genug sol les sein, aber da haben wir Dieter Pfaff, auch er recht korpulent. Starb auch in diesem Jahr.

Otto Sander, der mit dem traurigen Blick ist auch nicht mehr, Marcel Reich Ranitzki kann nicht mehr straiten, als Literaturkritiker war er unermuedlich. Und gebt dem Mann am Klavier maln Bier war das Motto von Paulchen Kuhn.

Die neue Saison der St. Pete Opera beginnt naechste Woche, drei Auffuehrungen von Romeo und Juliet im Palladium Theater in St. Petersberg, und dann kommt Beethovens Neunte in alle drei Hallen der Bucht . In ein paar Wochen freuen Sie sich auch auf eine Kuba Kollaboration mit Musikern beider Laender. Und nun viel Spass beim Entdecken all dieses, Tschuess, Ciao und Servus, seien Sie net zueinander.

Ihre Susanne Nielsen

PS Freuen Sie sich auf unsere Operninterviews am kommenden Sonntag! Kaufen Sie jetzt IHRE Karten.

Romeo und Juliette Produktion an der St. Pete Opera.org, tickets on sale NOW! www.stpeteopera.org. Oct 4,6 (matinee),8
