Liebe Filmliebhaber **ab 15.45 Uhr Kochen** für Interessierte **17.30 essen** diejenigen zusammen, die gerne Freundschaften aufbauen und pflegen wollen. **ab 19.00 Uhr privat Film anschauen** **ab 21.00 Filmbesprechung** Wir besprechen die 122 Minuten dauernde Familienkomödie «Madame Mallory und der Duft des Curry» (Original «The Hundred-Foot Journey») aus dem Jahr 2014 Das Drehbuch stammt von Steven Knight, die Regie von Lasse Hallström, Produzenten sind Oprah Winfrey und Steven Spielberg Wir freuen uns über jeden, der kommen kann und Freude am gemeinsamen Besprechen hat. Ihr könnt sehr gerne diese Einladung an andere Interessierte verschicken. **Handlung:** Der Film «Madame Mallory und der Duft des Curry» (Original «The Hundred-Foot Journey») basiert auf dem gleichnamigen Roman aus dem Jahr 2010 von Richard C. Morais. Im Film wird an vielen Beispielen deutlich, wie sich sogar eine Antipathie und ein ausgefeilter und lang andauernder Konkurrenzkampf nach und nach zu einer Freundschaft und sogar zu einer Liebe wandeln kann. Wie ist das möglich, fragt man sich in Zeiten, wo allerorten darauf hingewiesen wird, dass man sich von sogenannt narzisstischen und toxischen Menschen trennen müsste und sein Glück in der Selbstbeglückung finden sollte? Grundlage ist das Wissen darüber, dass der Mensch seine Gefühle, sein Denken und Handeln in den ersten Jahren in den sozialen Erfahrungen mit seinen Bezugspersonen entwickelt. Er ist sich dann sicher, wie er andere Menschen und die Welt wahrnimmt und wie er sie zu beurteilen hat. Auch glaubt er, seine spontanen Vorurteile seien real. Im Gegensatz dazu kann der Mensch seine Fehlwahrnehmung und seine irrtümlichen Haltungen sogar dann ändern, wenn er aggressiv belästigt wird. Es braucht dazu einen Anlass, seine Vorurteile zu überprüfen und sich an den zunächst feindseligen Menschen anzunähern und seine Motive zu verstehen. Der Regisseur Lasse Hallström zeigt ganz feinsinnig im Film, dass gute Beziehungen wichtiger sind als Karriere, Geld und Ruhm, genauso wie in der 75 Jahre dauernden Longitudinalstudie aus Boston untersucht worden ist ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KkKuTCFvzI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KkKuTCFvzI)). Dass solche tragenden Freundschaften und sogar Liebesverhältnisse auch unter extremen Bedingungen entstehen können, zeigt der Film symbolisch: Eine indisch muslimische Familie Kadam (indisch: Beginn des Lebens) verliert die sehr gut kochende Mutter im Feuer bei Massakern hinduistischer Nationalisten in Mumbai ihr Leben. Die Familie flieht nach Frankreich. Bei einer Autopanne erfahren sie grosse Hilfsbereitschaft der aufstrebenden Spitzenköchin Marguerite. Gleichzeitig begibt sich der Vater mit seinem neu eröffneten indischen Restaurant ausgerechnet in Konkurrenz mit einem französischen Spitzenrestaurant, deren Leiterin Madame Mallory (Die Unglückliche), alles daran setzt, die Inder zu vertreiben. Das indische Restaurant wird auch in Frankreich Opfer eines Brandanschlages. Der gegenseitige Kampf der beiden Restaurantbesitzer wandelt sich zu einer zunehmenden Freundschaft dadurch, dass sie Gemeinsamkeiten – hier im Engagement für einen kulinarischen Feingeschmack, am gemeinsamen Vorankommen, an der Exaktheit und im Entdecken von Genüssen - insbesondere aber daran, dass sie sich beide an der Beziehung und füreinander da zu sein in einem sanften Miteinander bei beiden in den Vordergrund rückt. Die Turbulenzen und Missverständnisse entfachen eine Geschichte über Akzeptanz, Liebe und eine Verbindung von Kulturen durch die universelle Sprache der Freude an der Beziehung. Der älteste Sohn Hassan der indischen Familie verfeinert nicht nur seine kulinarischen Fähigkeiten durch die Geheimnisse der französischen Küche über eine zunehmende Freundschaft und Liebe zu Marguerite, der aufstrebenden Köchin im französischen Restaurant, sondern entdeckt die Zutaten zu einem erfüllten Leben. Weitere Daten für Filmabende: Immer am letzten Samstag des Monats (ausser Juli und Dezember) – zum Eintragen in die Agenda 29\. August 26\. September 31\. Oktober 28\. November 19\. Dezember

Manche Kämpfe werden nicht mit Stärke, Worten oder besseren Plänen gewonnen - sondern im Gebet. In unserem Living Room «War Room» wollen wir gemeinsam entdecken, welche Kraft im Gebet steckt und wie wir Gott mitten in unseren Herausforderungen begegnen können. Wir sprechen über persönliche Erfahrungen, offene Fragen und Situationen, in denen Beten leicht oder auch schwer fällt. Neben einem gemeinsamen Austausch erwarten dich verschiedene Gebetsstationen, Zeiten der Stille und die Möglichkeit, Anliegen vor Gott zu bringen. Egal ob du schon lange betest oder dich fragst, ob Gebet überhaupt etwas verändert - du bist herzlich willkommen. Anschliessend geniessen wir ein gemeinsames Mittagessen und lassen den Nachmittag in gemütlicher Gemeinschaft ausklingen.

Based on the novel Roadside Picnic, it is NO picnic, but rather one of the masterpieces of world cinema. Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 Soviet sci-fi classic, recounts the expedition of a writer and professor led by a mysterious guide called "The Stalker." to a futuristic wasteland called "The Zone." Dripping with existential dread, it continually presents strange occurrences that will have us debating the meaning of what we've just viewed right through the ending. *Stalker* (1979) can be streamed for free on HBOMax, the Criterion Channel or Kanopy. It's also available for rent on Amazon Prime and AppleTV. The Columbus Library has two copies on disc.
