The Czech adaptation of Norwegian TV crime series MAMMON was broadcast under the title MAMON. Together with the Polish adaption of the same series, PAKT, the FilmFestival Cottbus this year showcases the first two episodes of both productions. One storyline, two series: the locations, as well as character disposition and ultimately the way in which the works were addressed to their respective audiences, these aspects differ strongly. How do the works compare and contrast in terms of character portrayal? What about depictions of violence, aesthetic values, or the division of roles amongst men and women? BB
