User Reviews

Like the moon, partly shadowed, in more than one sense...

In the beginning, there is stress: How annoying the cadrage is..., how breathless the editing... Of course you notice that the camera concept is about to make sense, because our Hero Hanna is breathless and emotional quite over the edge. But glorious DP Florian Foest (watch out for "Jagdhunde!") is taking it too far, in the first, maybe, forty minutes. He doesn't like too much indoor or incar light either. BUT what comes out of that is pure painting, watch it in a dark cinema, on TV you maybe will not see a thing in this brilliantly organized shadows... The beauty of this film is... well I'll tell you... But first it's important to point out that the storytelling is tending to be quite scrappy, it's like a whole cup of dramas that happen to Hanna, but it has broken to peaces and the biggest parts are adjusted in a slightly imperfect way. A lot in this film is too big, too much color on the lips of thalbach's, too much emotional rock in the score. but after all, this is a film, that seems to be... reigned by love. and like live and love, it doesn't care too much if it's getting on once nerves, sometimes too much. it's funny, it's sad, it's touching. and has great photography, at last.
