His metier is gossip about the rich and famous of Russia, and Paul easily helps restore the mag to its former glory and a higher circulation. Everything seems to be good again; his life is like one big party. Then he meets the beautiful KatJa (Kasia Smutniak) and is smitten. Paul only has eyes for the mysterious Russian woman who persuades him to run a politically motivated obituary in his magazine. An action with consequences, because from now on events happen thick and fast in Paul’s life. He has to watch as the woman he loves is killed in a bomb attack. He is subsequently accused of aiding terrorism and ends up in one of Russia’s notorious prisons. Paul goes through hell. When Onegin is finally able to use his influence to get him released Paul thinks he is safe. But he has underestimated his true enemies. Paul is suddenly thrown back on his own devices and goes on the run in the merciless Russian capital. Soon he realises that he must face his own past to solve the political conspiracy. He doesn’t have much time as his pursuers are hot on his heels. A race against time begins… PRESS RELEASE THE FOURTH STATE tells the gripping story of society Journalist Paul Jensen, who while trying to find himself in Moscow falls victim to Russian domestic political intrigues. The action-packed thriller paints a captivating, politically volatile picture of contemporary Moscow, where archaic power structures, extravagantly decadent lifestyles and political activism collide unchecked. The UFA Cinema production, for which director Dennis Gansel (‘The Wave’, ‘Before the Fall - Napola’), also provided the idea and script, was shot in Moscow, Kiev, Landshut and Berlin. It is Gansel’s first English-language film. The lead role is played by Moritz Bleibtreu (‘Soul Kitchen’, ‘The Baader Meinhof Complex’) currently one of Germany’s most talented and exciting actors. Other German stars like Max Riemelt (‘The Wave’, ‘Im Angesicht des Verbrechens’) and Stipe Erceg (‘The Baader Meinhof Complex’, ‘The Edukators’), as well as international actors like Rade SerbedziJa (‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II’, ‘Thick as Thieves’, ‘Love Life’) and Kasia Smutniak (‘Paris with Love’) complete the first-rate cast. THE FOURTH STATE is a UFA Cinema production. The producers are Thomas Peter Friedl, Nico Hofmann and Nina Maag. Daniel Gottschalk is director of cinematography. THE FOURTH STATE is a co-production with SevenPictures for ProSieben, funded by Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, the FilmFernsehFonds Bayern (Bavaria Film and Television Fund), the Federal Film Board (FFA) and the German Federal Film Board (DFFF). THE FOURTH STATE will be distributed in German-speaking countries by Universal Pictures International Germany in the cinema, and in cooperation with UFA Cinema 4 for home entertainment and by SevenPictures for ProSiebenSat.1 for TV. Celluloid Dreams will handle world distribution. LONG SYNOPSIS Society Journalist Paul Jensen (Moritz Bleibtreu) is sick of Berlin. His marriage has Just fallen apart and he longs for a change of scene. Thanks to newspaper publisher Onegin (Rade SerbedziJa), an old friend of his late father Norbert Jensen, he easily finds a Job on the successful tabloid newspaper ‘Moscow Match’ where he is responsible for covering society parties and restoring a bit of glamour to the magazine. Until his tragic death five years earlier, Paul's father, a prominent political and business Journalist, also worked for ‘Moscow Match’, which was then a much more serious and mainly politically motivated magazine. In the luxury apartment Onegin has rented for freelancers and where Paul's father also used to live, Paul discovers old photos, documents, and Super 8 films left by his late father. But Paul doesn’t want to deal with these old stories, and certainly not to be reminded of the fact that his father was disappointed in him for 'only' becoming a society Journalist despite his elite education. After all, he’s here to explore Moscow and Russia’s dazzling society. More than that, he really has to immerse himself in this society to report on public celebrations and private parties in a way that is more exciting, up close and with more insider knowledge than anyone has done before at 'Moscow Match'. the young photographer Dima (MAX RIEMELT) becomes his guide to the Russian capital’s party scene, because he knows the city’s hotspots and puts Paul in the picture by providing scandalous details about celebrity figures. Paul begins to settle in, writes his first article - and enJoys the exciting (night) life of the metropolis with all its possibilities to the fullest. Life in Moscow starts out pleasant and very promising. Paul experiences his first crucial test when a dissident Journalist is shot in front of his eyes on the street. His is deeply shocked - and this is reinforced by the fact that at the high-circulation ‘Moscow Match' everyone wants to quickly get back to business as usual by keeping silent about the attack in their own pages. To prevent this, KatJa (KASIA SMUTNIAK), a beautiful Journalist who works for a small opposition paper, visits Paul's editor-in-chief. Paul witnesses their vociferous row that ends with Katya walking away empty-handed. Fascinated by her beauty and courage, Paul does everything he can to see the mysterious woman again. In fact, the two meet again a few days later. KatJa takes Paul with her on political demonstrations, introduces him to her brother, and shows him a different, distinctly unglamorous side to life in Moscow. The two spend the night together and fall head over heels in love with each other. But their happiness is short-lived. One evening as Paul and KatJa enter the metro to travel into the city, a bomb goes off the moment they enter the station. Paul loses consciousness - and regains it in hospital, slightly inJured. He is then confronted with terrible news: Katya was not only killed in the attack, she was also the killer. The authorities seem convinced Paul was also involved in the attack - photos prove that for a while he wore the backpack in which the fatal explosives were hidden. Paul defends himself vigorously against the absurd allegations, but in vain: without formal charges, he is thrown into Jail and locked up with murderers, thieves and terrorists in a narrow, filthy cell. Every attempt to get Paul released, even by Onegin, 5 fails. The innocent detainee undergoes weeks of brutal attacks, which he only survives by befriending fellow prisoner Aslan (MARK IVANIR), who protects him. Just when he has almost given up hope, a Russian lawyer surprisingly persuades the authorities to exercise leniency and Paul is told he can leave the same day – as long as he signs a statement saying he was properly treated during his detention and promises to remain silent about the matter when he returns to Germany. Paul, who would sign anything Just to get out, agrees and after signing the statement is picked up by two close-mouthed officials who are ostensibly assigned to take him to the airport by limousine. But on the way Paul suspects that the two men really have orders to make him inconspicuously disappear somewhere beyond the city limits. He causes an accident and manages to escape from his minders in a hail of bullets. After carefully making his way back through Moscow's grey suburbs to the city centre, he contacts Dima, the only person he now trusts. He advises Paul to take the bus to Kiev to hide at Dima’s sister’s place for a while. But when two militiamen suddenly show up at the station, Paul takes to his heels, disappointed and frustrated. But what he sees shortly afterwards on the metro astonishes him: KatJa is alive and well! From then on, things start happening at breakneck pace, and gradually Paul begins to see his father’s work with different eyes.

  • Memory and Myth: the Bombings of Dresden and Hiroshima in German and Japanese TV Drama
    Memory and myth: the bombings of Dresden and Hiroshima in German and Japanese TV drama GRISELDIS KIRSCH Abstract Japan is often blamed for not coming to terms with its own wartime past and for focusing solely on its role as a victim of the war. Germany, however, is often seen as the model that Japan has to emulate, having penitently accepted responsibility. Thus, in order to work out how these popular myths are being perpetuated, the media prove to be a good source of information, since they help to uphold memory and myth at the same time. In this paper, it will be examined how the “memory” of the bombings of Dresden and Hiroshima is being upheld in Japan and Germany2 and what kinds of “myths” are being created in the process. In focusing on two TV dramas, it shall be worked out to what extent Japan and Germany are represented as “victims” and to what extent, if at all, the issue of war responsibility features in these dramas. Keywords: Hiroshima; Dresden; war memory; television; television drama. 記憶と神話：ドイツと日本のテレビドラマにおけるドレスデン爆 撃と広島 グリゼルディス・キルシュ 日本は過去の戦争について清算せず、被害者意識ばかりに焦点を置い ている。それに対してドイツは反省して自らの戦争責任を受け入れて おり、日本は倣うべきであるとしばしば言われる。こうした 「神話」 がいかに受け継がれて来ているかを検証するにあたって、メディアは 重要な情報源であり、過去の記憶と同時に 「神話」を広め続けている。 本稿はドレスデン大空襲と広島の原爆の記憶が両国でどのように継承 Contemporary Japan 24 (2012), 51270 18692729/2012/02420051 DOI 10.1515/cj-2012-0003 © Walter de Gruyter Brought to you by | School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London Authenticated Download Date | 1/20/20 3:33 PM 52 Griseldis Kirsch され、どのような「神話」 が築き上げられてきたかを二つのテレビド ラマに焦点をあてて見ていきたい。ドイツと日本が単に「犠牲者」 と して描かれているのか、そして、戦争責任についてどの程度触れられ ているかを検証する。 1.

Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

Jule is a student who is horribly in debt as a result of an automobile accident. Early in the film she is evicted from her apartment, despite having finally paid six months worth of back rent. Her boyfriend, Peter, invites her to move in with him and his friend Jan. Jan and Peter are more than friends; they are partners in a political/social activism scheme. Calling themselves “The Edukators,” they break into the homes of extravagantly wealthy people. Instead of burglarizing the homes, they rearrange the valuables and leave a note with a lesson. The one at the beginning of the film reads, “Your days of plenty are numbered.” Jule learns of this secret life when Peter goes to Barcelona for three days, leaving her alone with Jan. Together, Jule and Jan break into the home of Hardenberg, the businessman whose car Jule crashed into. They leave Hardenberg a lesson that reads, “You have too much money.” Unfortunately, they also leave behind Jule’s cell phone. Jan and Jule return to Hardenberg’s house the following night to retrieve the phone and are interrupted by Hardenberg.
