BREAK YOUR HEART / BREAK YOUR NECK

Back from the break! Our late-night program with love and horror movies called BREAK YOUR HEART / BREAK YOUR NECK, is back from the break (no pun intended…)!

This time we have selected six movies:

We start by celebrating Vincent Gallo’s 65th birthday with his feature film debut, “Buffalo ’66” (1998). This strange love story was an influential role model for many subsequent indie films with its melancholic minimalist aesthetics and narcissistic antihero.

Once again, two films are dedicated to Pride Month. “Seduction: The Cruel Woman” (1985) depicts various sexual fetishes and desire between women. The film, which was provocative at the time of its release, can be seen as an important milestone in feminism, queer self-expression and avant-garde surrealism. With this film we also pay homage to the legendary star of German cinema, Udo Kier, who passed away last November. “Stranger by the Lake” (2013) is a sensual mix of homoeroticism and psychological thriller, where desire and morality collide to extremes.

“Greener Grass” (2019) takes on hyperbolically hilarious satire dimensions, when making fun of sugarcoated suburban ass-kissing activities. “Jennifer’s Body” (2009) aka ’“Twilight” for bisexual girls’ manages to take on a serious topic of exploitation and turn it into an entertaining high school slasher!

And finally: we bring you some awesome horror straight from Mexico. “Don’t Leave the Kids Alone” (2025) proves only one: please don’t leave the kids alone! Here you will find very skillful tension-building, which will drive your adrenaline flow wild (especially when being a parent)!

Movies, but later! See you at the cinema 😊
