hulk
Fantasy, RTL 2, Saturday, 8:15 p.m
A Marvel Adventures by Ang Lee, 2003, a version of the fairy tale of Beauty and the Beast. Eric Bana’s Hulk is the saddest of all superheroes, whenever he gets excited and angered he becomes a brutal, misshapen, hideous green monster. Finally a hero who isn’t constantly pushed to save humanity! Only Jennifer Connelly understands and redeems him, very tenderly – she just took care of the new one top gunMovie about Tom Cruise. Emilia Clarke also works in all green Last Christmas, 2019 (RTL, Sunday 8.15 p.m.), costumed as a Christmas elf, all year round. Clumsy and clumsy like the Hulk, she is just as in need of redemption – which Henry Golding gives her. Directed by the brilliant Paul Feig, who knows exactly how the heart of American comedy beats.
The Huntsman & The Ice Queen
Adventure, ZDF, Saturday, 11.30 p.m
Storytime for grown-ups, 2016, by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan. A free variation of the Snow White myth – the film is the continuation of Snow White & the Huntsman, starring Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman, as the Hunter, Kristen Stewart as a martial Snow White. She is no longer there, but Charlize Theron as the ice-cold queen. Julia Roberts also snapped up this fabulously nasty dream role, in Mirror, Mirror – The Really True Story of Snow White, 2012, by Tarsem Singh (Sat 1, Sunday, 8:15 p.m.). Walt Disney’s snow white-The 1937 classic airs Sundays at 10:10 am on Disney Channel. Because there really isn’t that much to tell, you can see the wonders of the work in detail: Snow White and the forest animals cleaning the house, the dwarfs washing their hands extensively.
The Venus of Tivoli
Comedy, 3sat, Saturday, 5:25 p.m
A Swiss comedy by Leonhard Steckel, 1953, about a small theater company. Stranded in post-war Switzerland, she wants to go home to South America, but first has to pay off a debt to the Swiss government. Hilde Krahl as the reluctant principal, the gnarled Heinrich Gretler as the bailiff, and his assistant, a young actor with a Swiss accent, just back from Hollywood: Paul Hubschmid. A year later, in 1954, Kurt Hoffmann’s was created The Flying Classroom, based on the novel by Erich Kästner – who plays himself. A moving boarding school story between loneliness and solidarity, a wonderful Christmas film. It ends with a theatrical performance of the student play that gives the film its title (RBB, Sunday, 9 a.m.). The templates for both films were successful in the thirties.
To the Wonder – The Ways of Love
Love film, The First, Monday night, 1:20 a.m
A crazy love, 2012, as always with Terrence Malick, Ben Affleck falls in love with the Ukrainian Olga Kurylenko in Paris, they go to Normandy, then he takes her and her daughter to his native Oklahoma. She goes back soon, Affleck renews a relationship with rancher Rachel McAdams. The film is a powerful forward tracking shot, made up of the smallest individual shots: “I just want to spend some time with you,” says Kurylenko. “Terry didn’t want me to read the script,” says cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, “so that I could film the scenes purely as a documentary.” (On Saturday, Arte, 8.15 p.m., there will be a documentary on Mont-Saint-Michel, “the enigmatic labyrinth”, which in Malick’s case keeps the hereafter present in this world.)
