Mario Adorf, The Real Godfather!!!

Mario Adorf still regrets that he refused parts in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather (1972) and Billy Wilder's One, Two, Three (1961). He also turned down the role of General Mapache in Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch (1969), because he felt the character was too violent.

Kino Anders proudly presents the legend Mario Adorf in a comedy and in a gangster movie.

Doors open: 20h

20h15: Germany 1966, 90min, german no subs

 

  Ein aus dem Zuchthaus entlassener Geldschrankknacker wird durch seine Braut, eine Prostituierte, in einen Berliner "Sparverein" aufgenommen. Da er seine Aufgabe als Zuhälter nicht erfüllt und sich mit dem Vereinsvorstand zerstreitet, soll er umgebracht werden.

Das Urteil der Cineasten zu "Ganovenehre": aufregend, packend und spannend. In "Ganovenehre" gibt’s ein Wiedersehn mit Gert Fröbe, Mario Adorf und Curt Bois. Die Darsteller werden von Wolfgang Staudte optimal geführt. "Ganovenehre" ist dank Script von Curth Flatow, Hans Wilhelm und Charles Rudolph eine gelungene Story. Die Filmredakteure sagen zu "Ganovenehre": "Eine Unter- und Halbweltkomödie, die ihren Humor vor allem aus der Umkehrung und Spiegelung bürgerlicher Anstandsregeln bezieht." (Lexikon des Internationalen Films).

Sehr kurzweilig ist der 94 minütige aufregende Kino-Film für Krimi -Fans. Zugang zum Streifen: ab 18 Jahren .

 

          


22h: Italy 1972, 100min. italian with english subs

  Just out of prison, ex-con Ugo Piazza meets his former employer, a psychopathic gangster Rocco who enjoys sick violence and torture...

 No less than Quentin Tarantino referred to "Milano Calibro .9" as the absolute greatest Italian film-noir ever made, and who the hell are we to question that statement? This truly is one of the most grippingly fascinating and shockingly straightforward crime portraits ever filmed and I wouldn't hesitate for one second to call it a genuine masterpiece of cult cinema.

 Even without all the political involvement, "Milano Calibro .9" is a phenomenal film, with non-stop suspense, rough action, realistic character drawings and head-spinning dialogs. The intro alone is fantastic, as more action and brutal violence occurs in ten minutes than most Hollywood movies have to offer throughout the entire playtime. I hate to give away too much about the convoluted plot, but I can assure it contains all the necessary ingredients: treason, vengeance among criminals, strip bars, executions, corrupt coppers and the ongoing search for a stolen loot of $ 300.000! The atmosphere in this film is continuously gritty and ominous, because literally no one can be trusted and any character risks to get shot in the back at any given moment. Di Leo brilliantly uses Milan as the location for all the mayhem, and the city inexplicably plays one of the most important roles in the story, because it forms the home of the economic crisis, high level of delinquency and police forces reluctant to alter their methods of crime-fighting. 

The Sountrack is just a bomb! Listen.


Artisten-Orje (Mario Adorf) kommt frisch aus dem Knast. Seine Geliebte, die Hure Nelly (Karin Baal), bringt ihn als Zuhälter im Sparverein Biene unter. Doch als der Hallodri mit Puffmutti Olga anbandelt und Vereinsvorstand Paul (Gert Fröbe) verärgert, ist sein Schicksal besiegelt… Wolfgang Staudte verlegt die "honorige" Geschäftswelt in die Unterwelt - leider mit mehr Klamauk als mit Satire.

 Larry Cohen's best and one of the most underrated horror/exploitation movies of the 1970s.


I must have seen close to twenty movie written and/or directed by Larry Cohen ('Q', 'Black Caesar', 'Maniac Cop', 'It's Alive!', 'Best Seller', 'The Stuff', 'Uncle Sam',etc.etc.) and I have greatly enjoyed most of them, but 'God Told Me To' is without a doubt his best movie. It's an extraordinarily original picture, one of the best low budget horror movies of all time. Horror movie? Horror, mystery, science fiction, whatever you want to call it! Tony Lo Bianco plays a religious cop who is faced with a seemingly random series of murders committed by various people who, when asked why, simply say "God told me to". This is just the beginning of a very strange and fascinating story that will leave the viewer continually guessing! Lo Bianco was a last minute replacement for Robert Forster who was sacked after two days filming and a personality clash with Cohen. Lo Bianco gives a terrific performance, his best in my opinion after 'The Honeymoon Killers'. The movie features a strong supporting cast: Deborah Raffin, Sandy Dennis, screen veterans Sylvia Sidney and Sam Levene, plus cult favourite Richard Lynch ('Scarecrow', 'Open Season', 'The Ninth Configuration'), and even the movie debut of the enigmatic comedian Andy Kaufman. 'God Told Me To' is one of the 1970s most underrated horror/exploitation movies. Any fan of the genre must, I repeat MUST, see it!written by Infofreak on imdb.com

Killer Santas and Crucial Reindeers - A Holy Night in Deep Red

Start 20h15

DEAR KINO ANDERS GUEST, LIKE MOST XMAS GIFTS ARE  A SURPRISE, IT WILL HAPPEN IN TOMORROWS' PROGRAMM.

I JUST ANNOUNCE 

 

Harry Stadling (Brandon Maggert) is obsessed with Christmas! In fact he wants to "be" the authentic Santa Claus, with a real suit, sleigh and reindeer. Ever since he learned the "truth" about Santa, he's tried to make Christmas a reality. Growing up a toy maker, Harry is met with naysayers and critics who mock him for his yuletide beliefs. but he wants people to get the presents they deserve, even if that means giving the gift of murder! Cynics and uptight hypocrites beware!

Lewis Jackson's classic black comedy horror film, CHRISTMAS EVIL (aka YOU BETTER WATCH OUT!) is, according to cult film director/auteur John Waters, "the best seasonal film of all time. I wish I had kids. I'd make them watch it every year and, if they didn't like it, they'd be punished!"
