Die Sex-Spelunke von Bangkok

Der erotische Comic feiert sein Comeback. Davon zeugen Luxus-Neuauflagen der Meister des Genres und eine neue Autorengeneration, die sich dieser Kunstform bemächtigt. ARTE begibt sich auf die Reise in die Welt des erotischen Comics, seiner bewegten Geschichte und seiner Rolle in der Gesellschaft. Neben den sehr persönlichen Missgeschicken und Schwächen, die auf erotisch-sexuellem Gebiet lauern, geht es in diesen Werken auch um Fantasievorstellungen, Gesellschaftssatire und Zensur. Die Autoren sind legendäre Zeichner wie Robert Crumb, Milo Manara und Ralf König, gefolgt von Nachwuchstalenten wie Aurélia Aurita, Aude Picault und Zep. Durch die Sendung führt Molly Crabapple. Die New Yorkerin ist eine ausgewiesene Kennerin des Faches: Sie begann ihre Karriere als Model, performt in Burlesque-Shows und illustriert selbst erotische Werke. Das Szenenbild der Dokumentation, durch das sich Molly Crabapple bewegt, ist den behandelten Comics nachempfunden.

Nawin ist Befehlshaber einer thailändischen Spezialeinheit, die im Regierungsauftrag heikle Operationen ausführt. Eine jener Missionen führt den loyalen Elitesoldaten mit seiner Einheit ins abgelegene Grenzgebiet, wo er allerdings unerwartet auf heftige Gegenwehr stößt. Ohne jegliche personelle Verstärkung oder gar militärische Unterstützung – die politischen Lage des Landes hat sich zwischenzeitlich radikal geändert; General Anusund muss notgedrungen die Truppen zurückziehen – wird die Sondereinheit mehr oder weniger ihrem Schicksal überlassen. Nawin und seine Männer werden von hochgerüsteten Drogenschmugglern bedrängt und aufgerieben, wenigen Überlebenden gelingt ein Rückzug, darunter auch Nawin. In seinem Heimatland gilt er – wie auch seine Kampfgefährten – seitdem als tot.

"To make the film Goddaddy was a great challenge, because it covers almost forty years of Milan Bandić's activity, a seemingly hyperactive and Trump-like character of the Croatian political scene. Bandić has been elected six times as the mayor of Zagreb, which is not only the capital city of all Croats, but also the capital city of all Croatian criminals. Three times Milan Bandić has rejected to give us an interview for the film, so we made an audition to find him a double." - Dario Juričan

Released as a memorial for the great Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, who passed away on 27 April 2007, this DVD contains one bonafide cello concerto, the Schumann Cello Concerto in A minor, and two tone poems with prominent cello parts, Ernest Bloch's Schelomo and Richard Strauss' Don Quixote. Rostropovich mastered the Schumann in several famous recordings. Here, conducted by Leonard Bernstein, he provides a splendid performance. Featuring his trademark powerful technique, smooth legato and crisp vibrato, the Romantic roots of the concerto are never hidden for long, despite the relatively cool playing of the Orchestre National de France.

A carefree young man gets into a live-in relationship with his colleague, and gets her pregnant. What happens next?

Nyblandad Grogg features sketches with Robert Gustafsson, Johan Wahlström, Sissela Kyle, Anna Björk, and Stig Grybe. A DVD with a late-night vibe, a relationship drama with old men hanging out at the bar when they should be at home. An explosive version of the TV series Grogg with all the favorites, lots of new material, and sketches that should never have been given a second chance. Sexist improvisation at its best. Robert Gustafsson as an aggressive Östermalm woman complains about "blacks with sharp fangs who ritually slaughter puppies in the bathtub." And the blind Indian sings his classic tribute song to the tram. So, just like usual, it's the triumph of non-normative creativity in the spirit of Schlegel, when Sweden's funniest man strikes again.
