The love is the central theme of the show. With "Believe" will be around to the left and right wings of huge red roses inflated. The stage backdrop run very expensive videos produced by the renowned photographer David LaChapelle come.

Beautiful fail - "New York for Beginners"

The biggest crime of satire is harmless. Razor-sharp satire must be hurt. So if such a satire, such as on the business with the beautiful glow of the celebrity world, so no age restriction released, may not agree with anything.It begins "New York for Beginners" quite promising and funny: Sidney Young (Simon Pegg) is a young gossip reporter who successfully little access to London's celebrity world. Mostly he is already at the door and dismissed if he is but once on a top event has geschlichen, flies the dizziness and Sidney soon on a high arc out.

But his self-published critic leaves at least has an influential readers: One day Sidneys phone rings and Clayton Harding (Jeff Bridges), chief editor of the famous glossy magazine Sharps, which offers young journalists for a job in the editorial department at New York. Already during his inaugural visit occurs in the rough Sidney is offered each Fettnäpfchen and shines through a barely tolerable mixture of ignorance, arrogance and pushiness.All hate him, his boss, colleagues, the celebrities. But at least he is now on all the parties, of which he has always dreamed of. He verguckt into a Filmstarlet (Megan Fox) and must realize that he apparently only by corrupting on the Vanity Fair may exist.

"New York for Beginners" is based on the unveiling novel "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People" (German edition: "High Snobiety or How I was irritated by it all") of the British journalist Toby Young about his rise and fall as employees of the American society magazine Vanity Fair. The chronicle of his failure is a smart-corrosive look at the mechanisms and Strippenziehereien in the Celebrity industry.

In the perfectly entertaining movie version will be staged from the evil media satire, especially in the second half, however, a fairly tame, romantic slapstick comedy, including invented Liebelei with an editorial colleague.That takes the story about his appearance and not just their sharpness, but with the slapstick on specialized Actor Simon Pegg ( "Hot Fuzz - Two exceptions professionals") as a love hero occupy even less convincing. Really hurts because only the happy ending.

Amy Winehouse is preparing for divorce before

The indications of an end to the marriage between the troubled soul singer Amy Winehouse (25) and her husband Blake Fielder-Civil (26) condense.

According to a report of the newspaper "The Sun", the singer has already taken with lawyers to discuss a divorce. Winehouse's father Mitch had a meeting with legal representatives, which take place in the hospital had organized.

The drug-addicted British singer is currently in hospital because they, according to her spokesman a "negative reaction to the combination of its drug" had shown.

According to media information stands before the marriage off, also because Fielder-Civil a German model had met.

The lullaby of money

A nice coincidence brings Ben Hopkins' tragicomedy "Pazar - the market" in the same week as Ken Loach's "It" sa Free World "in the cinema. There are sister films. Both tell how a man in the globalized capitalism loses his soul. While Loach its findings primarily on psychological evidence and effects not waived, is the tone in "Pazar" clearly satirical and lyrical. The Song of money that Ben Hopkins is giving you, is gentle and sweet, a lullaby: It sleep all scruples On.

God makes you just not do business with the devil perfectly. That must also black marketeer Mihram (Tayanç Ayaydin) learn of Allah promises to stop drinking, if that he can give fifty million. "Everything has its price" believes Mihram, and actually seems to Deal with God fold: A hospital asks Mihram doctor, a vaccine for children to perform, pay, there is not, but with the money for the substance can be ultimately lucrative business.

A poor man is not Mihram. Tayanç Ayaydin was for his portrayal of this differential slit ear in Locarno as the best leading actor awards. Director Ben Hopkins, with "The Nine Lives of Tomas Katz (2000) and" 37 Uses for a Dead Sheep (2006) became known, is British; for the film but he has learned Turkish and a lot of time spent in the country, which is why his Film very "Turkish" effect. The film festival in Antalya was the German-British-Kazakh-Turkish co-production because even in a national competition with the main prize, a nice confirmation of this work.

That Loach's story from London attracts more attention than Hopkins' picaresque pieces from eastern Anatolia, has been with the quality of the films in any case nothing to do. It reflects the market conditions. Also, the global bazaar has its centers and peripheries, and the area in which Mihram herumschlägt, now belongs to the outermost times. One million lira, we learn, meet ten U.S. dollars. Because the millions with which Mihram handled, so little worth, can be distancing its business as a children's game, even though it to the dealer this is about survival.

On comical nature unhappy

With the money to buy vaccine Mihram one - unnamed, coming from Africa - commodities, smuggles him across the border to Azerbaijan, where it expensive to supply a Finnish mobile phone manufacturer sold. His uncle, an impoverished chemist, had given him the tip. In Turkey famous actor and director Genco Erkal plays this uncle, as "Italian nobleman who likes to comical manner is unfortunate," as he characterizes Hopkins. To roar are some funny episodes with him, the short story about his social descent: once in his life, tells his uncle, he drank - that is devout Muslims of course forbidden. But, said the uncle, there was nothing happening, not initially. Then he rewinds a disaster chain. In Suffer, he had abused his wife. Whose brothers had beaten him and the house demolished. And under the influence of his Kater, he had the next morning in an explosion in chemical plant caused, whereupon he would have lost his job. Actually, the women. . . They want a dishwasher and that their men into the sky, and do not realize that the two together does not work.

Even Mihram by his family strongly motivated, he wants Azerbaijan to the business enough money for the legal license to sell mobile phones deserve. The mobile in this film follows the connection of East Anatolia to the rest of the globalized world, which, it seems, is everywhere under the same laws work. With all his cunning and life experience plays at the end of each Mihram only if the local mafia in the hands. In the world of trade just hang everything together. Basically, it was clear from the outset as a customer Mihram same antenna cable had sold to this previously had been stolen.
