From the packed screenings at KINO! 2011, the Museum of Modern Art´s 32nd annual 
palooza of recent German cinema, you´d never know the Tribeca Film Festival was in full swing. The series, which brings a taste of the Teutonic to Midtown Manhattan (April 27 to May 2), is as happening as the German economy.
KINO! opened this year with Tom Tykwer’s latest work, Three. The trinity of the title is a married couple and the man both partners have a secret dalliance with. Perhaps best known for his propulsive 1998 hit Run Lola Run, Tykwer was unsure the sexy humor that made this 2010 seriocomedy such a hit back home would travel well. Pronouncing its New York premiere a “test screening” from which he´d forecast its potential stateside fortunes, the jaunty 40-something director returned alter the credits to entertain a lively Q&A, reassured by the near constant supply of audience guffaws during the preceding 119 minutes.
