“Asking the head I have now to explain its own thinking is as pointless as dialing your own telephone number on your own telephone: Either way, you get an engaged signal. Or your own answer message, if you have that kind of phone system.” — Nick Hornby, A Long Way Down

Stephen Frears, Nick Hornby – „State of the Union“ (Serie, 2019)

Ich wurde durch den Fußball zum Hornby-Fan. „Fever Pitch“ (1996) war Arsenal London, Sehnsucht, ironischer Blick auf Männlichkeit und dazu eine Liebesgeschichte, die nicht kitschig war. Alles traf. Seitdem las ich ihn mit Genuss. Er konnte Alltag in was Komisches und gleichzeitig schmerzhaftes verwandeln. Genau das, was gutes Kino braucht. Dass er dann wiederholt mit Stephen Frears zusammengearbeitet hat, war für mich einfach konsequent und logisch. Denn Frears wusste immer schon, wie er Figuren mit minimalem Aufwand groß macht. Und zusammen ergibt das eine Mischung aus Tempo und Zurückhaltung, aus Wortwitz und beredetem Schweigen. Ein echtes „Match made in Heaven“. (ARD)
