The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick (Wim Wenders, 1972). A film centering the everyday banalities in the day-to-day of the life of a former professional goalkeeper who has just stalked and murdered a cinema usherette before skipping town. An ambiguous character study with a, Taxi Driver-esque sense of alienation and detachment. Based on a novel by Peter Handke. #Film #Movie #CineMastodon #PhysicalMedia #BluRay #NewGermanCinema #NowWatching

When the inventor of the Simulacron, a virtual reality world, dies in the eve of the huge conglomerate taking an interest in the project, they bring in a springy scientist Fred Stiller to take over the research. Fred has some reservations for the job since his predecessor died under mysterious circumstances, but happy to oblige to the given task, as the project is a scientific milestone. Odd things start happening around him though: he suffers from constant headaches, his friend at the company disappears in mid-conversation & nobody notices that he is gone. What's more, no one acknowledges that his friend ever existed. Then there are blackouts and memory lapses. Something is definitely wrong.
#RainerWernerFassbinder taps into the concept of virtual reality, way before Matrix. Its obvious influences are everywhere- the phone booth, contact/oracle and whatnot. The film’s got a lot more to do with identity crisis in the technologically infused world- our world. #newgermancinema #scifi
