Black Sheep

Saturday 3rd February, 2007

The Electric Cinema Screen 2 | 23:00

With: Marc Hosemann, Barbara Kowa, Bruno Cathomas, Jule Bowe, Milan Peschel

Oliver Rihs' second feature is a tender, dirty, free-wheeling comedy full of characters roaming 'the new Berlin' for kicks, money or a combination of the two. Amongst five loosely-connected plotlines we find a Satanist reading bedtime stories to his comatose grandmother, three horny teenagers who get unwittingly dosed with rhino tranquilisers and a river-boat guide mercilessly heckled by her alcoholic boyfriend. Shot in monochrome dv with occasional splashes of colour, it's breezy new wave style and comic set-pieces have been winning noisy fans at festivals from Edinburgh to Montreal.

Showing with Sherlock Holmes vs. Sherlock Holmes (dir: Domitien Chen, 5 mins), a nutty French short from Stratford-on-Avon.

Dir: Oliver Rihs (Germany 2006, 94 mins)
