Halt auf freier Strecke / Stopped on Track - by Andreas Dresen (2011)

Der 44-jährige Frank Lange wird mit seiner Krebsdiagnose konfrontiert: der entdeckte Hirntumor ist bösartig und nicht operabel, wie ihm sein Arzt im Krankenhaus mitteilt. Dem Familienvater, der mit Ehefrau Simone und den beiden Kindern Lilly und Mika in einem neuen Reihenhaus am Berliner Stadtrand lebt und einer geregelten Arbeit nachgeht, werden nur noch wenige Monate gegeben. Unterstützt von seiner Familie nutzt er sein iPhone, um täglich das Fortschreiten seiner Krankheit zu dokumentieren.

Red Angel / Akai tenshi - by Yasuzo Masumura (1966)

In 1939, Sakura Nishi is a young army nurse who is sent to the field hospitals in China during the Sino-Japanese war. She has to assist the surgeon Dr. Okabe with an incredible number of amputations. In the crowded wards, she gives sympathy to some of the soldiers, including sexually servicing one who has lost both arms and has no hope of returning home. She falls in love with Dr. Okabe, and follows him to the front, even though he is impotent from his morphine addiction.

No Direction Home is a documentary film by Martin Scorsese that traces the life of Bob Dylan, and his impact on 20th century American popular music and culture. The film does not cover Dylan's entire career; it concentrates on the period between Dylan's arrival in New York in January 1961 and his "retirement" from touring, following his motorcycle accident in July 1966. This period encapsulates Dylan's rise to fame as a folk singer and songwriter, and the controversy surrounding his switch to a rock style of music. Dylan sits for an extensive interview, as does a variety of people who worked with him during this time period, including Joan Baez and fellow songwriter Pete Seeger.
