Absolut Warhola- Stanislaw Mucha
Located in the "Ruthenian Bermuda Triangle" (the land between Slovakia, Poland and Ukraine) is Europe's only Pop Art Museum. Stanislaw Mucha's lighthearted documentary traces Andy Warhol's family roots, which can be traced to the town of Medzilaborce and the neighboring village of Miková. Andrijku, alias Andy, still inspires the imagination of his surviving relatives. Everyone has their own vision of the region's most famous son, though nobody knew him. Warhol sent original works of art to his unsuspecting relatives back home, but they made them into toys for their children and a flood ruined others. With a gentle humanistic touch, Mucha swings from Warhol's art and the museum, to his relatives-all characters in their own right-and their "art" of coming to grips with a life of poverty and hopelessness with an eternal supply of apathy and cheerful attitude. Winner, German Film Critics Prize for Best Documentary Film and the Audience Prize at the Mannheim-Heidelberg Film Festival. (80 mins.)
Filmography: Back Home To the Reich, With Buba (01).
Showtimes: 2/15, 9:15pm GU and 2/18, 6:30pm BW.

Grill Point- Andreas Dresen
Winner of the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival, director Andreas Dresen collaborated with his ensemble cast to develop the story, pacing, and dialogue that create a lively roundelay of shifting marital mores. In the German city of Frankfurt an der Oder, near the Polish border, two couples in their late 30s have become unknowingly set in the banality of their relationships. Chris, a drive-time radio dee-jay, is mildly distanced from his second wife, Katrin. His friend Uwe, owner of the bar and grill of the films title, has become neglectful of his wife, Ellen. When Chris and Ellen develop a little "thing" on the side and get caught in the act, the four characters become shaken from their stupor. Concerned with the small and intimate moments that make up life, Dresen's tragicomic film recalls is at once funny, painfully honest and deeply affecting. Winner of numerous German film prizes including the German Film Critic's award for Best Film. (105 mins.) Print courtesy of Bavaria Film.
Selected Filmography: Silent Country (92),
Night Shapes (99).
Showtimes: 2/14, 7:15pm and 2/19, 8:45pm BW.

I'm the Father- Dani Levy
Dani Levy focuses on the family-in this case, on a young, well-to-do couple and their six-year-old son-who find that the dreams of their early days have been tempered by the realities of career and ambition. Melanie and Marco have been trying to make the best of their marriage. Like so many couples of their generation, however, they have found that demanding office hours and responsibilities make it difficult to devote enough time to their relationship, household duties or, most importantly, their son, Benny. Marco is an architect who feels he is on the verge of breaking into the professional upper ranks, but the increasing emphasis he places on his career is straining his marriage. His growing irresponsibility is apparent, and when he hits Melanie one day during a fight, she decides she has had enough. What ensues is a classic story of two people who have decided that compromise will not work in their relationship and, therefore, start to draw lines in the sand. When Marco realizes that his access to his son is about to be restricted, he retaliates by raising the stakes. (98 mins.) Print courtesy of Bavaria Film.
