Loved the trailer. A German review labled it as a comedy/drama mix, which I like anyway.
I think I'm gonna see that one. Opens on Christmas in Germany. Is it already released in the US?

Yes, Chrissi!



Opens in New York on Friday, September 16th at the Angelika.
Opens in Los Angeles and Pasadena on Friday, September 16th at Laemmle's Sunset 5 and the Pasadena Playhouse




"Directed by Tom Tykwer. From the director of Run, Lola, Run  and The International  comes a sexy romantic drama with a nod to classic Hollywood's screwball comedies. Hanna and Simon, a couple in their early forties, live together in Berlin. With their 20th anniversary looming, they both become restless despite being truly and deeply in love. Unbeknownst to one another, they become acquainted with Adam, a younger man, and fall in love with him. Clearly not your typical 1930's romp, this reinvention of those classic films with Tykwer's sleek direction is a playful update: an intellectual study of a modern couple looking for redefinition in a world of absolutes. Official Selection, Toronto International Film Festival."

Yes, Chrissi!


Now how is this fair? It's not. We EuroBrokies always have to wait for months till we can see new movies our fellow Brokies are talking about. For once now, there's a German film - and what happens? It's released in the US first. *grumble, grumble*

Yep, pretty much what the German review said. I think I'm really gonna like this one. Hubby also loved the idea of it. Heck, WE are a couple in our forties, being together for 20+ years. I think we match the target group. ;D :laugh:

Doesn't seem fair, does it? Probably has something to do with money.  :(

Money's a good point. ;D
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's about the money, even though I don't get it how it works. Where's the difference between releasing a movie worldwide at once, in contrast to releasing it bit by bit for several countries?
Okay, sometimes there might be a big blockbuster movie in one country which you don't want your smaller film to run against. But over all?

Releasing a film selectively just encourages the underground market, IMOl  >:(

The plot reminds me of Teorema, by Pier Paolo Pasolini, starring Terry Stamp in the younger man role.

and also Jules and Jim, a movie by Francois Truffault.

Guess what? The film started on Dec, 23rd 2010 in Germany!

My second 'ooops' moment this morning, and it's only 7:48am. ::)

So for once, the Europeans (or Germans at least) were better off, and I missed it, LOL. But at least the DVD is already out here, and cheap at that. On my list now.

Just saw it.
Sorry, this is gonna be a bad review. :-\
Hubby, daughter and I saw it together and none of us liked it.
The idea of it was so nice, too bad it was ruined. The film tried much, much too hard to be artsy, intellectual, prized - whatever. Instead, it ended up with the worst mistake a movie can make: it was boring. :P
There were some nice scenes in it, but not enough to carry such an overly long movie, not by a far cry. Of the three main characters, one went on my nerves, to one I was totally indifferent, and only one of the three was at least likeable, but still boring.


****WARNING*************SPOILER**************************








On the upside, I liked how the relationship between the original couple developped: from bored almost-phlegm to understanding and sweet care for each other. Once they both had started an affair with Adam (the third guy) things started to liven up a bit (but it took way, way too long to get to that point). And of course I liked the idea of tolerance and understanding, of including a third person into their intimacy.

Well, thanks for trying, Chrissi!

Here's an odd question from the very odd me--I've still only seen the trailer--one of the images I thought beautiful was the bubble structures with the very large swimming pools--very striking! Do you know where that complex is? I'd like to know more about it, who designed/built it...





If you might know--??

 :)

Not odd at all. Or otherwise I'm just as odd as you are. :laugh:
I was also fascinated by the pool, and looked it up. It's the Badeschiff ("Bathing Ship") in Berlin, built from the hull of a ship. It was part of an art project and the the artist is Susanne Lorenz.


In winter, as seen in the movie:




In summer:




Here's the english wikipedia entry about it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badeschiff


I've never heard about Badeschiffe before, but they have a long tradition. For anyone who can read German, here's a very interesting article about it:

Thank you, Chrissi, très cool!

And thanks to you, now I've learned about the artist Susanne Lorenz!
