Beschreibung

The last monks left Ittingen Charterhouse in 1848. The buildings, which had been built over centuries, passed into the possession of the Canton of Thurgau and later private owners, who used them as a stately residence and model farm. Since 1977, the Ittingen Charterhouse Foundation has operated the complex as a cultural and meeting centre, which also houses two cantonal museums. The excellently preserved site provides a lively insight into the history of the place and its former inhabitants. The monks’ cells, cloister gardens and richly furnished rococo church allow visitors to form a direct impression of how the Carthusians perceived of themselves as hermits in the community.

    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Tenet is a 2020 science fiction action-thriller directed by Christopher Nolan. The film follows a secret agent, known only as the Protagonist, who is recruited by a mysterious organization called Tenet. Tasked with preventing a global catastrophe, he learns to manipulate time through "inversion," a process that reverses the entropy of objects and people. As the Protagonist teams up with his enigmatic ally, Neil, they navigate a complex world of espionage, time manipulation, and hidden agendas. The film explores themes of fate, free will, and the cyclical nature of time, all wrapped in high-octane action sequences and mind-bending concepts. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Filming the car chase sequence took three weeks and required the crew to close off eight kilometers of a six-lane highway in Tallinn. Cars were shot moving both forward and in reverse during the chase.” 
      
    “When the coronavirus pandemic hit the United States in spring 2020, the film's score was about eighty-percent finished. The main effect was on an orchestral session that was scheduled for April, which was completed later by individual recordings of musicians at their homes.” 
      
    “Actor Robert Pattinson shared that there was much secrecy around the project before its release. He could only read the script in a locked office at Warner Bros. studios. Michael Caine, his co-star, wasn't allowed to read the entire screenplay, only his scenes. Caine admitted he had no idea what the movie was about.”

    Once upon a time I was falling apart. Now I'm always falling in love. 
    Pick up the microphone. 
    When Rob Sheffield moved to New York City in the summer of 2001, he was a young widower trying to start a new life in a new town. Behind, in the past, was his life as a happily married rock critic, with a wife he adored, and a massive collection of mix tapes that captured their life together. And then, in a flash, all he had left were the tapes. 
    Beyoncé , Bowie, Bon Jovi, Benatar . . . 
    One night, some friends dragged him to a karaoke bar in the West Village. A night out was a rare occasion for Rob back then. 
    Turn around 
    Somehow, that night in a karaoke bar turned into many nights, in many karaoke bars. Karaoke became a way out, a way to escape the past, a way to be someone else if only for the span of a three-minute song. Discovering the sublime ridiculousness of karaoke, despite the fact that he couldn't carry a tune, he began to find his voice. 
    Turn around 
    And then the unexpected happened. A voice on the radio got Rob's attention. The voice came attached to a woman who was unlike anyone he'd ever met before. A woman who could name every constellation in the sky, and every Depeche Mode B side. A woman who could belt out a mean Bonnie Tyler. 
    Bright Eyes 
    Turn Around Bright Eyes is an emotional journey of hilarity and heartbreak with a karaoke soundtrack. It's a story about finding the courage to move on, clearing your throat, and letting it rip. It's a story about navi- gating your way through adult romance. And it's a story about how songs get tangled up in our deepest emotions, evoking memories of the past while inspiring hope for the future.
