Talk Straight: The World of Rural Queers
GER 2003, directed by: Jochen Hick, 99 min, with English subtitles, rating: 12
FRG 1988, directed by: Bettina Flitner, 17 min, with English subtitles, age rating: 0
The fictional portrait of a young, internationally famous female director humorously exposes male vanity and the hyperbole surrounding celebrated filmmakers such as Jean-Luc Godard, Wim Wenders and Jim Jarmusch through a simple reversal of gender roles. Bettina Flitner underpins her ironic self-portrait with interview passages, some of which are taken verbatim, such as this one: “When filming a movie, I really only think about myself.” Hella von Sinnen appears alongside her in various roles.
