90s Gems: Romper Stomper
Some films shine brightly in their time but deserve renewed attention. This series brings four underappreciated gems from four different countries back to the big screen. In April, we present Romper Stomper (1992), Geoffrey Wright’s raw and unflinching look at violent right-wing extremism in Australia. A young Russell Crowe delivers a chilling performance as the leader of a neo-Nazi gang, in a film that remains disturbingly relevant today.
📽️ Screened in the original language with English subtitles.
Easter Mass with Pasolini: The Gospel According to St. Matthew
It may come as a surprise that one of the greatest films about Jesus Christ was made by Pier Paolo Pasolini, a Marxist and outspoken atheist. Yet, The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1964) is a deeply reverent and strikingly raw portrayal of Christ’s life. Inspired by a chance reading of the gospels while confined in a hotel room during a papal visit, Pasolini chose Matthew’s account, believing John was too mystical, Mark too crude, and Luke too sentimental.
Favorite Things presents: Rino Sivathas (NO) | Copenhagen Jazz Festival
Drummer and composer Rino Sivathas has made a name for himself on the Norwegian jazz scene in recent years with a forward-thinking and visionary style. Alongside his participation in various projects, his own ideas and compositions have been simmering over time, culminating in an energetic and unpredictable solo project. Here, jazz, hip-hop, and electronic music merge into a soundscape characterized by beats, synths, and fluid improvisation. It’s groovy, super tight, and raw all at once—a fresh and open space where listeners are invited into the warmth.
