The cinema has absurd and bizarre films on offer in September. For example, the Argentinian crime comedy "Kill the Jockey", in which a bounty is placed on the head of a race rider, takes a decidedly unexpected turn. Shortly afterwards, Leonardo DiCaprio goes into battle to save his activist daughter in the action satire "One Battle After Another". And things get truly hyperreal in the shark tank of the film industry when the series "Call My Agent Berlin" flickers across the screen on disney+.

With some horses you get to your destination faster, with others you win wars, "but mostly you're on the run with horses." Star jockey Remo knows all about racehorses, life and every kind of escape. The fact that his girlfriend and riding colleague Abril is pregnant and the local gangster, to whom he owes a lot of money, is hot on his heels makes Remo's decision an easy one. But then "Kill the Jockey" makes a daring turn and gallops off with itself into a screamingly colourful travesty of twists, turns, characters and genres.

There is a certain sense of fatherly pride when daughter Willa and her gang set off on acts of sabotage - even if Bob can't quite understand the young people's concerns. But when his former military nemesis Lockjaw arrives in person to arrest Willa, Bob sees red. Time for the dyed-in-the-wool revolutionary to reactivate his somewhat rusty talents. Leonardo DiCaprio and Benicio del Toro against Sean Penn - it doesn't get much more political satire and self-irony than this. All directed and written by P.T. Anderson and based on Thomas Pynchon's "Vineland".

It's not entirely wrong to see the film industry as a shark tank. The most cunning, but also the most biting representatives in it are the actors' agents. They are the ones who set the fees and conditions, but also solve problems and even prevent disasters - at least as far as headlines are concerned. Ten years ago, a highly successful series entitled "Dix pour cent" (English: "Call My Agent") was dedicated to this breed of people in France. The concept: drama, comedy, satire, heartache and a real star at the centre of each episode with plenty of self-irony. This can undoubtedly also be applied to the Who's Who of German filmmaking.

There aren't many places on the Internet that remind us of the good old, innocent and, above all, free beginnings. Back when the modem beeped and games were still playful and pixelated. "Draw a Fish" is one of these few places. The aim here is to draw a fish and watch it spin round with many others in a virtual aquarium. You can feed it there and rate it or chase it with the cursor. The developer MCBPZ even creates an aquarium for everyone who opens an account, for example for groups of friends or office pools.
