A movie
that dares to be completely different from what you’ve seen. From the makers of
Matrix, it does remind you at some point of the futuristic blockbuster.
However, the six interwoven stories that build up this special experience of
cinema are something new for everyone.
Based on
the novel of the same name, the story centers around individualists; people who
try to make a change. In how far the stories are connected, that you have to
find out throughout the movie which makes it an event almost equally exciting
and challenging as “Inception”, one of my favorite movies of all times.
The acting
performances are absolutely outstanding. I don’t want to spoil why, as you know
only by the time the end credits appear, what has really been behind those
weird characters that have been introduced to you. The contents amazed me in
every single way. Thrilling, touching, making your heart race. For those who
have seen the film: I thought the best story was the Seoul-future-story and the
70ies-complott-story. Those who didn’t work as well were the
future-village-story as well as the 19th-century-sailor-story.
I don’t want to complain on a high level, as
Tom Tykwer made this German production an absolute cinema highlight of the year. Warning: THIS IS NOT for everyone. You like it or you
hate it. I adored it.
