Many of us find the quaint cottages in the country sides of most European countries charming and pretty, as they seem to have leaped out of the storybooks we read when we were little.

Now you have a great opportunity to line your table, display case, study table, or dressing table with 6 charming European Tin Houses. Not only are they beautifully painted on the exterior by talented artists, you will be equally charmed when you open the tin houses. Each and every house is intricately painted with a different interior, making it really fascinating to look from every side of the tin house.

These 6 European Tin Houses are more than mere decoration pieces. You can buy a pretty necklace and put that into one of your favourite house and gift it to your lady-friend. She will definitely be delighted. Or you can fill them up with little pralines and give as gifts during birthdays or Christmas.  Pretty, charming, light and handy, you can easily pop the gifts into your handbag or carrier bag conveniently without fearing that the wrappings will be torn in a crowded public place or while in transport.

What they say about this prouct:
“My boyfriend bought a bracelet and put it in the Bakery European Tin House as my birthday gift. I knew he spent far more on the bracelet than the Tin House, but I l really like the Tin House so much better .” – KiKi Lim

EXIT MARRAKECH

















"(the film) resonates with audiences of all ages" (Toronto International Film Festival)

Genre Drama. Adventure
Year of Production 2013
Director Caroline Link
Cast Ulrich Tukur, Samuel Schneider, Hafsia HerziLength 122 mins
An outstanding family drama set in fascinating and exotic Morocco.
After the worldwide success of NOWHERE IN AFRICA, Oscar-winning director Caroline Link returns to Africa for her latest feature film EXIT MARRAKECH. The film headlines newcomer Samuel Schneider and Ulrich Tukur, stars of Oscar winners THE WHITE RIBBON and THE LIVES OF OTHERS. “It’s very much about feelings, moments, situations and atmosphere. Morocco is the third protagonist.” (Caroline Link).

On the eve of his seventeenth birthday, troubled teenager Ben (Schneider) flies to Morocco to meet his estranged father Heinrich (Tukur), a successful German theatre director staging a play in Marrakech. There he unintentionally confronts Heinrich with his past and his neglected responsibilities. After falling out with Heinrich, Ben loses himself in the shadowy medina and sleazy nightclubs of Marrakech, where he meets a feisty Berber girl Karima and follows her to her remote village in the Atlas Mountains. He enjoys freedom in this very foreign land until the police and parent finally track the “missing person” down. Ben and Heinrich, once reunited, take a road trip of sorts into the uncharted restoration of their relationship.

Cinematographer Bella Halben’s widescreen lensing presents a textured, warm, and richly coloured version of Morocco and its breathtaking and expansive landscapes. A travelogue, a road movie, a touching fable.

MEASURING THE WORLD
















“Imaginative, intelligent, funny!” (TV Direct)

Genre Period Drama
Year of Production 2012
Director Detlev Buck
Cast Florian David Fitz, Albrecht Schuch, Sunnyi Melles, Katharina ThalbachLength 124 mins
Awards Best Costume Design, Best Makeup (Austrian Film Award 2013)
The contrasting lives of two brilliant and eccentric geniuses of the German Enlightenment tie together in a story of passion, loneliness, love and improvement. Carl Friedrich Gauss, mathematician and founder of numbers theory, and Alexander von Humboldt, adventurer and explorer of South America (and the rest of the world).

Most people accept their destiny and survive. Two enthusiastic scientists go on an extraordinary adventure to fight against their predetermination.

An adaptation of Daniel Kehlmann’s global best-seller of the same name, MEASURING THE WORLD follows two brilliant 18th Century German scientists who explore groundbreaking methods of measuring the world. Mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauß (1777-1855), a child prodigy born into a poor family, conceived his major discoveries by the age of 17 - all without ever leaving his home state. Scientific explorer Alexander von Humboldt (1769 -1859), born into a wealthy family, set out to travel the world. Late in life, the two celebrated scientists have the opportunity to meet and talk to one another. They soon discover that they shared a special bond: the passion to understand the world they live in. With luscious sets, exotic locations and a well-chosen cast, the film succeeds in making its subject exciting and entertaining.

Dear Friends,

In our 17th year we noticed all of a sudden that the German Film Festival has grown to a point where it is actually the biggest Film Festival on this charming island.
Thank you, movie buffs, connoisseurs, and expats!

In order to celebrate in style, we bring an “acting” member of the Bavarian Royal Court: King Ludwig II (Sabin Tambrea). He will be with us for the opening ceremony of the festival and meet with the local film industry.

But not only Kings and Queens will be taken care of. The 200 Year Celebration of the German Composer Richard Wagner will be given a special venue and program. Kids will have a blast with our JUNIOR PROGRAM and the GOETHE GOES HEARTLAND series at the Cathay AMK Hub will continue in 2013. In a retrospective, we honor a leading voice in the “New German Cinema” JEAN-MARIE STRAUB, who turned 80 this year.

As a “Leckerbissen” we even managed to get Oscar winning Director Caroline Link’s latest release EXIT MARRAKECH which has just opened the Munich Film Festival.

My team and I have taken the best from Berlinale 2013, added some spice and gravy, mixed it up well to a Singapore dish and now: Dinner is served!

Guten Appetit!

Movie review: "Le Nom des Gens" ("The Names of Love")

The Names of Love

Bahia (Sara Forestier) in "The Names of Love." (Music Box Films)

Director Michel Leclerc and his co-writer Baya Kasmi illuminate the ethnic, racial and religious issues that have beset France from World War II to the present -- through, surprisingly, the unfolding of a classic romantic comedy plot. "Le Nom des Gens" (The Names of Love) is so inspired and insightful that it is frequently hilarious yet does not shy away from tragedy. Leclerc and Kasmi's ability to explore complex, volatile social issues with such exuberant humor won them a screenplay Cesar -- France's Oscar -- earlier this year.

Sara Forestier's Baya Benmahmoud and Jacques Gamblin's Arthur Martin exemplify in the extreme the axiom that says opposites attract. Baya is the uninhibited young daughter of an Algerian refugee (Zinedine Soualem) and a rebellious French heiress (Carole Franck). Arthur, an ornithologist, is the serious middle-aged son of a nuclear scientist and Algerian war veteran (Jacques Boudet) and a Jewish mother (Michele Moretti) traumatized by the deportation of her parents during the Holocaust.

Baya dedicates herself to seducing right-wingers and religious militants into embracing her assimilationist views while Arthur obsesses over possible epidemics spread by birds. With her looks and effervescent personality, Baya's appeal is overwhelming. With his lean physique and wistful expression, Arthur is an attractive man whose subdued manner automatically presents a challenge to Baya; their affair is sure to be a roller coaster of a romance.

The film warmly embraces multicultural diversity while acknowledging the obstacles to its achieving a harmonious fruition. It is critical of conservative Muslims, the lack of interest in the lives and views of ordinary Arabs, the dire plight of undocumented immigrants and, in the instance of Arthur, his detachment and disinterest in his Jewish ancestry on his mother's side.

So many actresses are asked to be adorable even in their characters' most exasperating moments, but few pull it off as well as Forestier, with her spirit of innocent, well-meaning recklessness; her efforts were rewarded with a lead actress Cesar. It helps that she is surrounded by actors as perfectly cast and talented as she is.

-- Kevin Thomas
