Tom Tykwer’s “Drei” will be screened on Sunday at 6:30pm as part of Goethe Institut Bangladesh’s regular venture “Sunday German/Bangla Movie Night,” that features a Bangladeshi short film and a German feature film on every last Sunday of the month.
It is a 2010 Berlin-set drama centered on a 40-something couple who, separately, fall in love with the same man. Hanna and Simon are a 40-ish couple, together 20 years and both with successful careers on the cultural cutting edge. She hosts a highbrow talk show – the kind not seen on American television in decades – and he’s an “art engineer,” translating sculptors’ visions into large-scale installations.
Just as they take the plunge and marry, Simon and Hanna each become involved with the rather pointedly named Adam, an affable blond scientist who in turn finds himself wanting more than his usual one-night stand.The love triangle gets an evolutionary update in Tom Tykwer’s romance “Drei,” whose strong casting makes it involving.
A 6-minute short film “Awakening” by Anwar Patwari will be screened at 6:20pm. This film is based on a poem and it talks about the violation of human rights with a few burning examples.
