Plüschkino Film Series: Love
Whether it’s great euphoria or even greater heartbreak—the theme of our new film series is perhaps the most frequently depicted in film history: love. It sometimes makes us laugh and sometimes makes us cry. It gives us hope and, now and then, drives us to despair. It can build bridges just as easily as it can tear them down. That’s precisely why it makes us what we all are: human beings.
In this way, love shapes film and cinema in a way that perhaps no other emotion can: From the great classics of the 1950s and 1960s to revolutionary portrayals from the late 20th century and on to modern reinterpretations—they all move us, the audience, in their own way, allowing us to experience profound emotions and connecting people all over the world.
endstation.kino’s new series invites you on a thrilling roller-coaster ride of powerful emotions that will have you cheering along and empathizing with the characters.
