nearly four hours long ,
home from home
is imbued with the villagers' attachment to the land, but while dutifully capturing the period, the film feels less layered than mr. reitz' s past work .
i really enjoyed this touching, quirky, sweet and happysad film. thanks. i will be looking for more from jae and chelsea in the future. i hope more get a chance to see this film .
home from home is especially strong at presenting neighboring towns as separate worlds, a la thomas hardy, far enough apart by horse or foot to be as distant as foreign lands .
home from home: chronicle of a vision is a daunting four hours long, but so immersive and exquisitely photographed that time shoots by in the manner of the best box set .
from the perspective of those who’re about to leave it behind. though the second
a magnificent, career - capping achievement from one of the great storytellers of our era .
deeply embedded in a sense of local community and the familiar rhythms of the changing seasons, the grape harvest and annual festivals, home from home evokes the work of thomas hardy and the look of photographer ansel adams .
thank you nfb for having this unique film / documentary available to screen. i really enjoyed learning about rae spoon, and i now consider myself a fan. the film seemed very creative, and i enjoyed the unique style that chelsea mcmullan utilized. i will watch for more work from her .

reitz has his fans and festivals should have no problems selling out houses for home from home, though theatrical action will again be hampered by the project’s super - sized running time, unless distributors want to release the film in two parts (it was shown in venice as one feature but with the word “intermission” in the subtitles about 100 minutes into the 230 - minute feature) .
“home run is a powerful parable showing us what god can do for a person who hits bottom. many who come from dysfunctional homes or deal with addictions will find a ray of hope as they watch this film. this is a tool churches and ministries can use now and for decades to come. ”
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans. it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
my prairie home is a beautiful sensitive film that complicates gender through a combination of spoon' s autobiographical storytelling, her evocative contemplative music, and the alienating lonely prairie landscape. a fine example of using a local individual story to examine larger issues of gender discrimination, religious baggage, and the difficulties of coming home. as well, the film possesses a quintessential nfb aesthetic that evokes how landscape shapes our identity as canadians .
“home run is a powerful story of recovery and redemption. i would encourage churches and individuals to fully support this important film and its impacting message. as opening weekend is so critical to the future potential reach of the film, i cannot encourage others strongly enough to join me in attending a showing the weekend of friday - saturday, april 19 - 21. it is well worth the effort! ”
“home run shows us that a change is possible by turning to god' s power. ”
celebrated german auteur edgar reitz again returns to the fictional hunsrueck village of schabbach and the simon family in home from home: chronicle of a vision (die andere heimat: chronik einer sehnsucht), though the events take place in the 19th rather than the 20th century, of which reitz is one of the foremost german - language chroniclers .
against the background of rural germany in the middle of the 19th century when whole villages suffering from famine and poverty emigrated to faraway south america, edgar reitz tells a dramatic family and love story that centers on two brothers who are forced to choose between leaving and staying. a valuable addition to reitz’s internationally renowned heimat project, home from home is a compelling portrait of a time of flux and change. originally shown at the venice biennale, the film has been rapturously received and now finally arrives to enthrall and engage uk audiences. the writing, direction and performances are absolutely first - rate and if this does down bring the curtain down on the director’s heimat series it is a more than fitting conclusion .
the protagonist of home from home is jakob (newcomer jan dieter schneider), a bookish lad who is one of the three children of margarethe (marita breuer) and johann simon (ruediger kriese), the latter the blacksmith of reitz' s fictional schabbach, in the hilly hunsrueck region in the rhineland in what is now the western part of germany, near the border with luxembourg .
german filmmaker edgar reitz' s latest epic' heimat' project is a four - hour black - and - white film that looks at life in rural schabbach in the mid - 1800s .
“home run portrays the church in its beauty—true life transformation through real and honest relationships with one another and with jesus. ”
“home run is an entertaining, well - written movie with a powerful evangelistic message that should be seen by everyone. ”
“home run really hit home for me. i' m a former pro baseball player with an alcoholic father. only through a personal relationship with jesus was i able to avoid going down the road of addiction. god bless this movie. ”
“home run is a great reminder that our problems in the flesh can be healed through christ and his redeeming love. ”
“home run is not only a great movie, it' s a story of hope that people have to see. ”
reitz (who was in his eighties during production) directs with peerless finesse, as he mines authenticity from an inexperienced cast and brings a bygone era to vivid and engrossing life .
“home run is a powerful story of the redemption of our past, present and future for the glory of god. this timeless message is delivered through a baseball story and a man' s key relationships. we can all relate at some level to parts of this story which makes this movie so compelling. i would highly recommend this film to everyone. ”
“home run reminds us of the power of forgiveness, the richness of redemption, and the wisdom of trusting god to revive us. ”
in this feature documentary - musical by chelsea mcmullan, indie singer rae spoon takes us on a playful, meditative and at times melancholic journey. set against majestic images of the infinite expanses of the canadian prairies, the film features spoon crooning about their queer and musical coming of age. interviews, performances and music sequences reveal spoon’s inspiring process of building a life of their own, as a trans person and as a musician. official selection at the 2014 sundance film festival .
“i wholeheartedly support the new movie home run. inspiring and entertaining are just a couple of words to describe this faith - based film. the message,' god is there for anyone—it is never too late to come to him and he will help—no matter what circumstance you are facing' comes through loudly and clearly. don' t miss your chance to support this great movie. ”
“home run is a great example of how our pride and the world' s view can get in the way of god' s plan. ”
“home run is a must - see story of change and redemption—a story all of us need to hear and know. freedom is possible with god in our lives! ”
movies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75% or higher after a set amount of reviews (80 for wide - release movies, 40 for limited - release movies, 20 for tv shows), including 5 reviews from top critics .
“home run is a gripping movie that reminds us with god' s help, we can break free of whatever is holding us back. this movie is a solid hit! ”
“i was amazed to see how home run paralleled my life and career in baseball, and the addictions and issues i have dealt with in my lifetime. only through the grace of god and my personal relationship with jesus christ, my lord and savior, i have been transformed and redeemed. without question, i truly believe home run will help transform people' s lives. glory to god! ”
“i love the heart and the message of home run: no matter what you' ve done or what you' ve endured, with christ … freedom and redemption is possible. i am living proof. ”
sometimes a movie has to take four hours. if you stay that long, you not only learn to know the characters, they get under your skin. a prussian village. not boiling yet, because 1848 revolts are some years away, but there are signs. so far people just emigrate, to brazil in this case, leaving centuries of traditions behind. a sign of something arriving. the minds aren' t satisfied. but the main story is about the village, as a small society and universe there the borders are too close. but the film is anyway focused on individuals. trying to get shelter from the storm. which goes on in their souls

through the many books he’s devoured, jakob has become able to decipher texts in spanish, french, english and portuguese (a little suspension of disbelief is required here, since no school teacher or much study time ever seems to make an appearance, though education had become compulsory in prussia by 1815; as in his other historical films, reitz clearly picks and chooses what he wants to incorporate). tales about the amazon have jakob’s special interest and his dream of making it to the new world and escaping the dreary and poverty - stricken village of his birth seem to inch closer when a flemish man (jeroen perceval, from cannes competition film borgman) comes into a nearby town to look for men who’d be interested in emigrating to the empire of brazil .

“home run is great for not only baseball fans, but anyone looking to be inspired. the story provides an important reminder that no matter how successful we are, we are all affected by the issues that come along. only through jesus we can find the peace and comfort to live this life. ”
“home run is a compelling story of redemption and restoration. it' s a powerful tale that offers hope for anyone struggling with past or present hurt or addictions. the well - told narrative reminds you that no matter where you' re at today, tomorrow can be better. definitely a must see. ”
“home run is a very inspiring and uplifting movie that helps both believers and non - believers realize hardships in life can be overcome with the help of god and god alone. it proves life is not about what has happened to us, but how we choose to respond. with god any response is possible. ”
“the message of home run is one every baseball player, coach, and parent needs to hear. without christ in one' s life true peace and contentment can never be found. god can mold us and make us when we allow him to do so! a great movie with an even greater message. ”
though in several ways related to the previous heimat films, this beautifully shot black - and - white feature is accessible even for those unfamiliar with reitz’s previous work. in its essence, it’s the story of a poor but knowledge - hungry son of a provincial blacksmith in the 1840s who dreams of emigrating to south america, though the almost four - hour film also offers a look at the protagonist’s extended family and their neighbors, acquaintances and lovers that again suggests much wider things about german (or, rather, pre - germany prussian) society as a whole .
jakob’s sister, lena (melanie fouche), has already moved out of the village to live with her husband (martin schleimer), a winegrower in the moselle region, while there’s a gentle rivalry between jakob and his older brother, gustav (maximilian scheidt), though the latter is a more practical young man - - even when it comes to impregnating the beautiful jettchen (antonia bill) from the village down the road, on whom jakob has had his eye but whom gustav’ll be forced to marry .

jakob’s pompous voice - over, read from his diary - - which sounds pretty much like what a young man who tries to imitate the great writers he reads would sound like - - helps guide the audience’s eyes, which is further aided by the work of regular heimat cinematographer gernot roll, whose supple camera moves around schabbach as if it had lived there all its life. again, roll and reitz experiment with contrasting black - and - white footage with color, here by very occasionally giving small elements a dollop of pigmentation in the otherwise crisp monochrome visuals. it’s a gamble that doesn’t quite pay off, as it lends an artificial sheen to the proceedings and draws attention to matters that don' t always have an obvious narrative value (one of the first things to show up in color is part of an interior wall, which turns out to be baby blue for no discernable reason) .

ere is the fifth epic in edgar reitz’s supra - epic heimat series about the fictional german village of schabbach in the 20th century; this takes us back to the 19th, with dirt - poor farmers and labourers dreaming of escape by emigrating to brazil. the movie’s german title is die andere heimat (that is, the other homeland) and it’s subtitled chronik einer sehnsucht — the english version translates this last word as “vision” though “longing” is more accurate and apposite .
reitz films in a beautiful, crystalline monochrome with incidental details picked out in colour, which often has the effect of flattening the perspective of each shot and making it close to a hyperreal engraving. it is nearly four hours, but never dull for a moment; indeed, there is a boxset addictiveness to the whole thing .
jakob (played by jan dieter schneider, looking weirdly like a germanic zach braff) is a dreamer, a romantic, a reader, always getting yelled at by his blacksmith dad for idling. he has conceived a passionate desire to leave the grind and oppression and emigrate to the promised land of brazil — a “homeland” that is an alternative both to germany and the church’s feebly promised heaven .
perhaps, like the godfather movies, the heimat series will be re - edited in narrative sequence, and this will confer a greater, or a different meaning to the events in this movie. at present, it is superlatively well performed and well directed with a real narrative grip .
this beautifully shot black - and - white feature is accessible even for those unfamiliar with reitz' s previous work .
on paper it is a yawn, especially when you clock the four - hour running time, but you will be sucked in to the lives of the characters and the mesmerising detail of their existence .
the first masterpiece of 2015. spellbinding, lyrical and breathtaking. epic in scope while intimate in its humanism. i could have watched 4 more hours .
for all of its evident toil in recreating historically accurate environments and researching the precise conditions in varying regions, it has little force as a work of cinema .
it is nearly four hours, but never dull for a moment; indeed, there is a boxset addictiveness to the whole thing .
a four - hour plunge into rural prussia and the hopes, dreams and misfortunes of a blacksmith' s family. twitter
, which is often translated as “homeland”) still means if a person decides to pack up all his belongs and leave not only their village but their country of birth to start completely anew on the other side of the world. much more than a specific place, the characters seem to hang on to a particular feeling of belonging to a family and community with its shared joys (weddings, babies ...) and sorrows (illnesses, deaths ...), something they paradoxically might quite easily find in brazil as well .
reitz’ sense of composition is often striking, however, with especially the landscapes with its placid rivers, abundant vineyards and solitary cherry trees lending the day - to - day activities of the poor characters an appropriate grandeur that suggests each single being has its role in the epic of their own lives. by contrast, the austere and dilapidated interiors of the late production designer tony gerg offer a grim visual reminder of the abject poverty of rural prussia in the mid - 1800s that was a direct cause of the mass emigration to other shores .
acting, much of it in a mix of german and the hunsrueckish dialect, is uniformly solid, with non - professional newcomer schneider a true find. filmmaker and occasional actor werner herzog has an amusing if somewhat distracting cameo as well - known naturalist, linguist and explorer alexander von humboldt .
and several songs sung by philine lembeck, who plays a dear friend of jettchen who' s also practically folded into the simon clan. the old - fashioned score is sometimes grating and too often used to glue the narrative' s occasionally disparate parts together .
