Geschwister – Kardeşler

Directed by Thomas Arslan

Synopsis

Thomas Arslan's second feature film and part of his Berlin-trilogy is a slow-paced milieu study of German-Turkish youth in Berlin-Kreuzberg. The film depicts the every day life, domestic conflicts, dreams and disappointments of three siblings and their aimless, meandering strolls through the Kreuzberg district.

    Thomas Arslans Berlin Trilogie Teil 1
    Geschwister

    Berlin/Kreuzberg
    Hier leben die Geschwister Erol, Ahmed und Leyla mit ihren Eltern, Vater Türke Mutter Deutsche. Probleme gibt es viele untereinander, aber auch jede einzelne hat welche in seinem Leben.

    Da ich zu letzt "Mach die Musik leiser" von Arslan gesehen habe und der mir gefallen hat, wollte ich noch andere Filme von ihm sehen.
    Meine Wahl ist dann auf seine Berlin Trilogie auf MUBI gefallen, wo das hier der erste Teil ist.
    Regie/Drehbuch T.Arslan. Im Cast: Savaş Yurderi (besser bekannt als Rapper Kool Savas), T.Yigit, S.Turhan, H.L.Kuhlenberg und F.Yurderi.
    In den 81 Minuten Laufzeit, begleiten wir besonderst die Geschwister durch ihr Leben. Ihre Probleme sind aus dem Leben junger Türken in Deutschland…

  • Review by berkosaurus ★★★

    die dialoge und das schauspiel sind teilweise krass schlecht, aber die szenen und der vibe sind so cool dass der film auch cool ist

  • Review by girl ★★★★

    don’t take it as bad acting, take it as very raw expressions that make you de naturalise the things that are said. so direct and empathetic, i love arslans movies

  • Review by Torben He ★★½

    Kool Savas nutzt in diesem Film morgens Cola als Mundspülung.

  • Review by the_non_human ★★★★

    As girl has already stated, bad acting is not a category for reviewing Thomas Arslan's Brothers and Sister (Geschwister – Kardeşler). The alienation effect caused by amateur actors reciting written dialogue is intentional. It brings us into a freer relationship with the work of art and activates our own thinking and feeling. In this process, something paradoxical happens: the alienation effect creates a distance and at the same time a particular intimacy with the characters. Thomas Arslan succeeds in this in a truly beautiful and touching way.

  • Review by r_emmet ★★★½

    Aimless Turkish teens wander Berlin and drink an obscene amount of Coca-Cola in Arslan's engaging low-key MEAN STREETS variation.

    Also: MORTAL KOMBAT poster sighting.

  • Review by ned ★★★½

    kool savas wacht auf und das erste was er macht ist cola direkt aus der flasche zu trinken wenn ihr ein jubeln in der ferne hört bin ich das

  • Review by everista ★★½

    didn't vibe with this one so much. maybe the dialogue felt kinda stilted because the subtitles were translated poorly but i got the sense from the acting that they just sounded unnatural at times. interesting conceptually but i really think they could have done more with it.

  • Review by Abaton ★★★

    Yes, the dialogues between the teenagers are terrible but that's exactly what makes them so realistic

  • Review by jrhovind ★★½

    Early Berlin School statement of purpose from Arslan as an intimate study of character and space; an immersive portrait of a group of young Turkish-Germans in their rough corner of Kreuzberg. “You want to grow roots here, or what?” Sensitive to the plight of the hyphenate citizen who’s sometimes going to feel never quite enough of either half of whatever ethnic label they never even asked to have. The way Erol feels drawn to a Turkey he only dimly remembers, his family baffled as to what he would possibly want to do in a place that’s never really been his home. “What am I doing here? Can you answer that fucking question?” At its best when it’s just moodily following…

  • Review by Max Dø ★★★½

    Auch wenn die Dialoge selbst für deutsche Standards extrem hölzern sind, ist das der Film den ich mir von Sonne und Beton erhofft habe. Bildet die Stimmung der Spätneunziger in Berlin authentisch aber doch irgendwie poetisch ab und geht mit den Struggles seiner Charaktere empathisch um ohne sie zu dämonisieren oder zu glorifizieren.

    Und Baby King Kool Savas (Yurderi) mit dem cuten awkward autistic swag ist sehr relatable

  • Review by sinocan ★★½

    Wäre der Film in schwarz weiß, hätte er 5 Sterne bekommen
