Pour fêter le lancement du cycle cinéma "Le choc des cultures", un pot sera offert au Kinosch à partir de 19h !
Culture clash movies are practically a genre in themselves. They can subvert every known genre in moviedom and turn its conventions upside down, making it a culture clash movie instead. Wasn’t „King Kong“ one of the first culture clash movies? From high drama to absurdist comedy, from harsh documentary to psychologically nuanced auteur cinema to roaring blockbuster, the culture clash movie tells us a lot about human experience and the bond we all share. Some of them are, of course, heavy on cliché, but the good ones don’t have to rely on that. A culture clash doesn’t have to turn into a culture war either. Anyone for a „remix“?

EN - Down in Mississippi ... sweltering heat, the sound of crickets. An unsolved murder and two cops: a white redneck and a black detective, homicide expert from Philadelphia. Racism flares, but the two somehow bond. Powerhouse performances by the late great Sidney Poitier and the confirmed ‘method actor’ Rod Steiger. Funky & sublime soundtrack by Quincy Jones and Ray Charles.
DE - Down in Mississippi ... die erdrückende Hitze, das unaufhörliche Zirpen der Grillen. Ein ungelöster Mordfall und zwei Polizisten: ein weißer Redneck, Chef der lokalen Polizei, und ein brillanter schwarzer Großstadt-Detektiv auf Durchreise. Der Rassismus ist allgegenwärtig, aber irgendwie müssen die beiden zusammenarbeiten. Zwei grandiose Darsteller und ein funky Soundtrack von Quincy Jones. Ray Charles singt das Titellied.
FR - Down in Mississippi ... la chaleur est étouffante, le bruit des grillons omniprésent. Un meurtre non résolu et deux flics qui s’affrontent : le chef de la police locale, un redneck, et un brillant détective noir de Philadelphia. Le racisme est omniprésent, mais la collaboration finit par se faire. Deux prestations hors normes de feu Sidney Poitier et Rod Steiger. Une bande-son sublime et funky de Quincy Jones et Ray Charles.
