The Inventor

Taglines

Overview

In this interesting World War I drama, Bruno Ganz gives a compelling performance as Jakob, an obsessive inventor who lives in a Swiss village. He receives unconditional support from his friend Otti (Walo Luond), but that is about all; the other villagers do not tolerate Jakob's eccentricities very well, and regard him as a crackpot. He perserveres in spite of this obstacle and finally invents a viable carriage that does not run on wheels but on a tread. Unfortunately for Jakob, the military have already come up with the same invention: the tank. The discovery finally breaks him, and he is quickly shuttled off to an asylum.

Overview

Il y a en ce moment une forte actualité sur la peine de mort, avec l'exécution de Troy Davis il y a quelques semaines aux Etats-Unis, et le sursis de quelques mois accordé peu de temps avant sa mort programmée pour Hank Skinner. Si l'Europe échappe pour le moment à cette barbarie d'un autre temps, les USA demeurent avec la Chine et l'Iran les pays tristement leaders pour l'exécution de condamnés, avec en tête du peloton le Texas.

The Inventor

Taglines

Overview

Jakob es un inventor obsesivo que vive en un pueblo suizo. El inventor recibe el apoyo incondicional de su amigo Otti, pero eso es todo con lo que cuenta, ya que los otros aldeanos no toleran las excentricidades de Jakob demasiado bien. Jakob mantiene su trabajo a pesar de este obstáculo y, finalmente, inventa un carro que no funciona con ruedas, sino con una banda de rodadura. (FILMAFFINITY)
