Don Siegel’s classic crime thriller "Charley Varrick," made in 1972 in the wake of the immensely successful "Dirty Harry," stars Walter Matthau in what is probably the actor’s finest dramatic role, airshow pilot turned crop duster turned bank robber turned mob target Charley Varrick. This feature-length documentary takes the viewer back to the time of the shooting of this cult item and features original interviews with Siegel’s son, Kristoffer Tabori, actors Andy Robinson and Jacqueline Scott, stunt driver and actor Craig R. Baxley, composer Lalo Schifrin and Howard A. Rodman, whose father co-wrote the screenplay.

For little money, a used kitchen worktop changes its owner and environment. Starting at the older, refurbished middle-class buildings of Prenzlauer Berg, going past the hip ice cream parlours with tussled Hawaiian sunshades, a boy and a woman in her twenties are carrying the newly purchased and slightly dilapidated worktop to the fringes of Berlin. The high summer midday heat makes the sweat roll into their eyes and the noise of the construction sites swallows the last speech fragments as the lines of cars pushes them into ever smaller corridors. Three Trees Don’t Make a Forest subtly describes a classist and neoliberal city architecture which develops a centrifugal force that inevitably pushes the precariously living inhabitants to the outside.

It has hardly been seen before that a 83-year-old actor has starred in a Danish film, but it is the case here, where Kai Holm says goodbye to a long life in film and theater service. He plays an old peasant who on his deathbed is waiting for his son (Jon Bang Carlsen). In a few days he relives the village life, he comes from, and which was marked by a hard and authoritarian upbringing. He is at his father's deathbed despair because it is still impossible to make contact, and in a crisis situation, he recognizes his father's brutality in itself. The film draws a bitter picture of human relationships where dreams while they die, degenerates into power relations.
