Josef Grübl: Javier Espada was born in the same small Spanish town as Luis Buñuel – and has dedicated his entire professional life to it: with a museum, a festival, exhibitions and films, he wants to commemorate the master director and legendary surrealist, who died in 1983. So the man knows Buñuel. He skillfully strings together photos, texts and film clips. But he does it so dutifully and well-behaved in a way that you wouldn’t necessarily expect in a documentary about a man who experimented throughout his life and frightened the bourgeoisie.

Philipp Bovermann: Christoph Maria Herbst plays an old book enthusiast who befriends a nine-year-old book enthusiast; together they manage to open up to a repressed pain that they both share. Books help, of course. The film adaptation of the novel by Carsten Sebastian Henn is, so to speak, radiantly golden from the beginning with the happy ending that everything leads to. You notice that The Chau Ngo has so far mainly made TV fairy tale films – but younger book fans in particular shouldn’t be bothered by this, because the fire-warm, somewhat flowery tone of the production fits the story about the healing power of reading.

Martin Wittmann: Googoosh, 74, is a national heroine without a nation, because the Iranian has not been allowed to perform in her homeland for a long time. The Iranian director living in Germany Niloufar Taghizadeh visits the singer in her house in California and lets her look back at a country that no longer exists and at a time that has long since passed. Both are only memories since the Islamic Revolution in 1979. An impressive biography of an unknown superstar.

Fritz Göttler: Three young Americans trying for a stage career, Jeff Daniels, William Hurt, Christopher Reeve. The latter is supposed to fly to London for test shots for the planned big Superman blockbuster. Don’t do that, warns Hurt, you’ll sell yourself. Reeve does it, becomes Superman, a huge success, he fully embraces his role as a hero. Then, in 1995, the terrible riding accident: Reeve was paralyzed from the neck down at the age of 42. He is desperate, has the darkest thoughts, is only slowly finding a new role, and is involved with his foundation for paralyzed people – his best friend is there: Robin Williams. Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui create a network of private archive material, film clips, Oscar appearances and moving conversations with Reeves’ children, a fate of lofty dreams and pragmatic courage to face life. When Reeve’s father heard that his son had landed the role of Superman, he ordered champagne: he mistakenly thought his son would be starring in George Bernard Shaw’s play “Man and Superman.”

Susan Vahabzadeh: In 2044, Gabrielle (Léa Seydoux) wants to convince the artificial intelligence that is in power that she is good for more than factory work. But people are only allowed to play here if they have undergone a cleaning process – that’s what she tries to do. The fears and hardships that have been embedded in her DNA for generations are supposed to disappear, and so she wanders through two previous lives and the catastrophes that shaped them. Bertrand Bonello Based on a novella by Henry James, it explores the limits of reason. He cranks it up a few volts too much, the individual time levels seem too long-winded and move too far away from the actual plot. But in the best moments it is painful and magnificent to see how emotions depend on each other and without fear there is no hope.

Sofia Glasl: Grandma Thelma fell for a grandchild trick and now $10,000 is gone. However, the shame of their misjudgment weighs more heavily than the money they lost. The woman in her mid-nineties knows that her independence is at stake because her daughter Gail now finally considers her to be senile. A classic premise for a family drama, but director Josh Margolin turns it into the most unlikely of films: an action comedy about the underestimated power of wise-cracking stubbornness. At 94, June Squibb enchants in her first leading role as a shrewd senior citizen who sets out to regain money and dignity with a borrowed gun and stolen mobility scooter.

Fritz Göttler: The film by Josh Cooley is set on Cybertron, the home planet of the Transformers before they discovered Earth – so it’s only natural that this is a purely animated adventure. You experience how enmity arose between Optimus Prime and Megatron. At first they are chubby buddies and workers in the planet’s energon mines, called Orion Pax and D-16. Miners have none Cogsno gears to transform into fast speedsters, but the two cheekily take part in a car race. Then they stumble into a rebellion against the planetary ruler Sentinel Prime, who is of course a mean dog and collaborates with the alien Quintessons. D-16 therefore wants to have him executed, Orion Pax refuses. This is where the fast-paced action adventure becomes politically philosophical: You cannot start a new rule with a crime. The eternal enmity between the two friends, who are now called Optimus Prime and Megatron, is already there.

Anke Sternenborg: To the sounds of Henry Mancini’s “Moon River”, Joey looks into the window of a store where a red Ferrari is on display. The store is located in the shimmering three-river metropolis of Taipei. Luc Besson fell in love with its special flair while filming “Lucy” a good ten years ago. Now he returns with a script that… George Huang filmed for him, in a not always entirely coherent, but always original mix of fast-paced action with high Bodycount and quick-witted small family rom-com. Everyone involved, Luke Evans as an agent of the US drug squad, his “Fast and Furious” colleague Sung Kang as a drug lord and Gwei Lun-Mei as a Taiwanese action Audrey have secrets in this glossy B-movie, of which the flashbacks are a bit more reveal as necessary.

Sofia Glasl: Greg Gardens Body swap film turns the party game “Who am I” into a question of identity: Instead of sticking sticky notes with names on each other’s foreheads, eight friends wire themselves up to an obscure machine that beams each person into a different body at the push of a button. The premise is correct and Jardin has a knack for visual feints, but the film wastes both the socially critical and comedic potential of the genre: women only swap bodies with women and men with men, ideals of beauty and role clichés remain untouched. When guessing, people lie and cheat as much as they can, but in the end it’s only childlike sensitivities such as envy and resentment that decide the game.
