The original Heimat followed the rural life of Maria Simon and her family through the changing landscape of 20th century Germany an epic journey from the end of the First World War to 1982. In Heimat 2 originally titled 'Die Zweite Heimat' (The Second Homeland) we travel back to 1960 and take up the story of Maria's son Hermann who turns his back on his small village and heads to Munich to follow his dream and study music. During this era-defining decade of cultural social and political revolution Hermann finds love and friendship among the Bohemian collection of musicians filmmakers and writers that populate his new life. Edgar Reitz saw this Chronicle of a Generation as a journey to 'that place which we as adults find: the place we choose of our own free will and which we call our second home'. He achieved the seemingly impossible a second Heimat over 25 hours in length to equal the monumental achievement of his original masterpiece once again enthralling audiences around the world.
Raymond Chandler's cynically idealistic hero of The Long Goodbye, Philip Marlowe, has been played by everyone from Humphrey Bogart to James Garner--but no one gives him the kind of weirdly affect-less spin that Elliott Gould does in this terrific Robert Altman reimagining of Chandler's penultimate novel. Altman recasts Marlowe as an early 70s Los Angeles habitué, who gets involved in a couple of cases at once. The most interesting involves a suicidal writer (Sterling Hayden in a larger-than-life performance) whom Marlowe is supposed to keep away from malevolent New-Ageish guru Henry Gibson. A variety of wonderfully odd characters pop up, played by everyone from model Nina Van Pallandt to director Mark Rydell to ex-baseballer Jim Bouton. And yes, that is Arnold Schwarzenegger (in only his second movie) popping up as (what else?) a muscleman. Listen for the title song: it shows up in the strangest places. --Marshall Fine
