Young Man (Jeune Homme) Switzerland, 2006

Sebastien, 18, is running away from a family-owned printing firm future for an au pair job in Geneva with a modern and too busy family. Overwhelmed by the events, he gets attached, reveals himself and discovers what he really wants: to become a haute cuisine chef. He also falls in love with a girl he meets in Geneva. Yes, it is a very "family" movie, and it is actually quite entertaining. Sebastien comes from the German part of Switzerland, so half of the movie is spoken in Swiss-German, while the Geneva scenes are in French. It is rare to see a Swiss movie make this language alternations, but it adds to the originality of the film.

The Serpent's Egg (Das Schlangenei), West Germany, 1977

The only movie from Swedish director Ingmar Bergman to be shot in Germany. This is the story, like many German movies, about a woman who tries to save herself from the growing menace of fascism in Berlin. She works as a cabaret girl, and with her connections she is able to live a reasonably comfortable life in the middle of economic crisis. An unemployed American acroba, Abel Rosenberg, decides to look for his brother, who apparently committed suicide in Berlin during a severe personal depression crisis. Doesn't sound like your typical comedy movie, right? Things get worse for Abel, who is interrogated by the State police regarding a couple of murders that took place near the appartement he is renting.

The movie reflects the situation of Germany before the Second World War. Bergman strives for a movie that is more expressionist and direct than his usual storytelling technique. The shocking ending prepares the audience for what is about to happen in that country. It's like a serpent's egg, we see the form of the beast just before it comes out.
