Jean Seberg


 

Die innere Sicherheit (2000)

 

Clara and Hans are left-wing terrorists who have been sought by police for almost fifteen years. Their increasingly rebellious daughter Jeanne begins to pose a threat to their security when she falls in love with a boy she meets on the beach.

Intense and perceptive study of a young girl (Julia Hummer in a perfect performance) forced into an existence outside of any social system; although embedded in clear and realistic locations and envisioning a comprehensible political background of the parents, there is a sense of irreality throughout.

Peppermint Frappé (1967)


 

Julian, a physician, gets increasingly infatuated with Pablo's wife, Elena. Upon seeing her, he realises the striking resemblance she bears to his assistant, Ana. Subtly, he transforms Ana into Elena.

Intense psychological drama tells a slightly surreal, but also fascinating and creepy tale with a hint of both Bunuel and Hitchcock influence to it; Geraldine Chaplin is mesmerizing in a triple role.
