I have some questions (or basically in need of opinions) about the events and it's time length in the film, that I really need to have covered.
To begin with,
1) How long do you think it was from Marc and Kay becoming friends at the beginning of the film to the point where Kay confronted Marc sexually in the forest?
I'm not sure how long from the time they were in the pool to the forest, but it couldn't have been too long - maybe a week or two?
2) How long do you think Kay and Marc's affair lasted?
Mariska and I talked about this, we figured about 4 months. Bettina was probably 7, maybe even 8 months pregnant when they met at the bowling alley, and Kay left soon after the baby shower/party, and the baby was about a month old.
About the movie itself:
3) Do you think the movie should've been longer than 1 and 40 minutes, to cover up some things it could have potentially skipped, or give us new information about things/characters (Like Kay?).
Mariska has the DVD with commentary by the actors and director, the US DVDs don't have that, and she gave a lot of info directly from Hanno, Max and Stephen. They said Kay was supposed to be a mystery, with not much known about him, it was intentional to have no background about him. He came into Marc's life, turned it upside down and Marc couldn't handle it, then Kay was gone.
It's good to talk about this again!
