the twelve - year - old emil and his father are haunted by bad luck. to take a break from a series of family disasters, emil is allowed to spend a few days with a friend of the family, the female priest hummel in berlin. in the train he runs across the slick max grundeis who anaesthetizes emil and steals his savings of 1500 dm. when he finally arrives in berlin, emil and a gang of street kids, led by the cheeky girl pony hütchen, try to find the gangster, who haunts the posh hotel adlon as a hotel thief. meanwhile, to prevent anyone from finding out about emil' s mishap, gypsi, a member of the gang of kids, passes himself off as emil, thus wreaking havoc on the home of the priest .
when the train pulls in to berlin’s zoo station, emil, who has never been in the big, bad city before, succeeds in trailing the thief to a cafe, where he meets pony, a girl his own age who has all the street smarts, and the contacts among children of all backgrounds, to muster a formidable force of detectives’ to foil the bad guy .
crew: camera (color), hannes hubach; editor, patricia rommel; music, biber gullatz, eckes malz; production designer, albrecht konrad; costume designer, eveline stosser; sound (dolby digital), manfred banach, michael kranz; children casting, jacqueline reitz. reviewed at cannes film fest (market), may 12, 2001. running time: 110 min .
production: a bavaria film - und produktions presentation of a lunaris film production, in co - production with zdf. (international sales: bavaria film intl. , munich .) produced by peter zenk, uschi reich. co - producers, christoph holch, susanne van lessen. directed, written by franziska buch, based on the book by erich kastner .
rest of the film involves a great deal of good old - fashioned adventure, suspense and comedy, as the kinder track the thief down to the swank hotel adlon, where he’s robbing a few safes. meanwhile, gypsy, whose parents have so many kids they won’t notice he’s gone missing, is ordered to take emil’s place and stay at the home of the minister, where he wreaks a fair amount of havoc .
while his father is recovering, emil’s teacher sends the boy by train to berlin to stay with the teacher’s sister, a minister in a protestant church, and herself a single mother. but during the journey, emil makes the mistake of talking to a stranger (jurgen vogel) about the possibility of obtaining an illegal license for his dad; as a result, he is drugged and robbed of his money .
franziska buch produces a wonderful adaptation of emil und die detektive (1928), sensitively preserving the core of the story – namely a strong sense of family and comradeship – while transporting it to the 21st century with the help of excellent actors. hip - hop music, stylish clothes, and the use of cell phones and laptops show berlin as a vibrant, modern metropolis .
the story of a young viking boy who accompanies his father, the chief of their village, and his men on their adventures - - and often is the person who uses his wit and instincts to help the men in their times of need .
this engaging film takes a german children' s classic of the 1920s and updates it to today' s multicultural berlin. the main characters appear to be between 8 and 12 years old, old enough to understand a lot about the world. . but not everything, which adds some humor to the plot about a gang of children trying to track down a thief who has stolen money from the title character, young emil. some of the children are immigrants, some are homeless, and one is the son of a woman pastor. they travel through the streets of berlin on skateboards, they rap about their adventures, and they are definitely not dutiful or respectful. i saw this movie at a film festival, and i think it would make a good family movie. unfortunately, young americans don' t have much patience with subtitles, and it has never been released in the u. s. , nor, apparently, is it on dvd .
after the children' s book
emil und die detektive
was published in 1928 this first screen version was made in 1931 under the supervision of the author erich kästner himself. the story seems simple: young emil gets to visit his granny in berlin and is given 140 marks by his mother for his grandma. on the train to berlin the 140 marks are stolen by a man with a stiff hat while emil sleeps. arriving in berlin he tries to follow the thief and receives help from a well organized and nice
gang
of berlin street
detectives
in his age. a happy end seems possible. while the movie contains a very entertaining story itself, an even more interesting detail of this movie is in its backdrop: an authentic berlin of 1931 with open cabs, cars driving next to coaches, wide streets with lots of space for cyclists and so on. i always wondered when viewing older city maps what street life was like in the twenties of the last century when the streets were not as crowded as today, when the speed difference between pedestrians, cyclists, cars and coaches was still comparable in human measures. the camera work, special effects (emils dream on the train) and movie music are distinctly thirty - ish which made this movie even more interesting to me. all in all a very enjoyable movie for kids and adults alike .
i had to watch this for german class and maybe the fact that the class is literally the bane of my existence right now is affecting my attitude towards this movie or maybe it' s the vaguely racist undertones, but at least i appreciated the best scene in the movie: the rap .
