    Deathly dull

    Once again all the positive reviews of this film are 'worthy'.

    When you break it down to reality this is an exceedingly dull piece of filmmaking. Makes you wonder what you have to do to win these awards. . . . let's see . . . .

    1. Does the film look ugly. . . . tick!

    2. Is the subject matter worthy or controversial. . . . tick!

    3. Is it dull as a viewing experience. . . . tick!

    4. Is it subtitled. . . . . double tick for that one!

    5. Are there supposedly meaningful lingering shots or interminable scenes. . . .tick, tick, tick!!!!!!

    Hmmmmm, will think twice about 'award winning films' in future then!!

    If you want to be entertained, avoid this one!

    Disturbing but moving

    I thought this was one of the best films I have watched in a long time. It won't suit everyone though - it is dark, disturbing and thought provoking. Don't watch it you like happy Disney fairytales! Bleak at times.

    It centres around the relationshop between two young girls, one of whom is very naive and in trouble. She relies on her friend (the 'stong' one) to help her out, but her naiveity gets them both into a bad situation and she ends up asking far more of her friend than anyone should ever have to give.

    Made me question what I would do in the same situation.

    Berlinale: Day 3 and 4

    • 12 Feb 2009

    German film goes international: Highlights and flops from the opening weekend. Marinca. Ever heard that name before? No, it's not a Hungarian opera, nor is it a hotel in Corsica. It's actually the surname of a young Romanian actress who takes the lead in the highlight of Day 3 at the Berlinale, Storm, the story of a young Bosnian woman who is called before the war crimes tribunal in the Hague to testify what she witnessed in the Yugoslav wars. In fact, German director Hans-Christian Schmid's... Read more
