Unconventional Recommendations: Films and Series to Watch at Home or in the Cinema

In this section I would like to recommend films or series that you should watch in the cinema or on the screen at home. I would like to draw your attention to the rather unusual.

On DVD today I would like to point out “CAVEAT The Warning”, an extremely strange, almost experimental fantastic film. A man is supposed to guard a young woman who is showing mental problems. But somehow everything seems to be completely different and the time levels also begin to mix. This is intelligent cinema that requires concentration, but it is worth it.

Countess of Horrors is a very nice atmospheric horror film from the early 70’s directed by Peter Sasdy. This hammer production once again tells the story of the so-called “Blood Countess” Bathory from Hungary, who supposedly bathed in the blood of virgins in order to stay young forever. Released on Blu-ray by PIDAX, picture, sound, extras and the film itself are convincing. Actually, a mother-daughter story is told, which is enriched with elements of the fantastic.

Science cinema can be seen again in the Moritzhof. And because it is organized by the city and the “SILBERSALZ Science & Media Festival” from Halle, it has the advantage of being free on the one hand and, on the other hand, after the film, not only me as moderator, but above all Prof .Dr. Ortwin Renn and Prof. Dr. Anne Albrecht, who deal scientifically with the topic of fear. The accompanying film is called “The Scent of Fear” and also has a well-known actor in the narration voice of Katja Riemann. It’s about fear and how to deal with it, but also about how fear can determine our actions. Definitely worth seeing and only on 23.5. at 6 p.m. you can do that. I definitely recommend “Wenzel – never believe what I sing” to anyone who doesn’t have the time. It runs more often and is also definitely worth seeing if you like Wenzel, the lively singer-songwriter and ex-clown.
