Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
VividSimon Simply Perfect
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
cloverboy75 Welcome men. Welcome to the post-feminist dystopia male nightmare writ large. It's overt nihilism is spine chilling in it's ability to inspire confusion and dread flowing from the abyss of irrationality. It should honestly be classified as a horror film. It has no redeeming value other than it's perverse ironic one as feminist critique.It's bleak and nasty when 60+ year old women are subject to uncontrolled hypergamy rooted in the limbic heart of darkness. How the heck did this ever get such rave reviews? The feminist matrix moves beyond the screen and shrouds the seemingly most astute reviewers with it's insidious social pervasiveness. If this doesn't cause you enough anxiety to opt of the marriage game then nothing will. The only reason this film doesn't get a zero is for it's unintentional instructive value. Go your own men. Go and be done with lunacy.
carloyn50 I was disappointed by this movie. The meaning in German Wolke 9 or Cloud nine means that a person is full of happiness through being in love and passion with another person, hence sailing on Cloud 9. I don't argue that this could not happen to a well mature couple, but it was lacking in this movie. From an aesthete point of view it was not necessary to show closes ups of the aged bodies. I remember the movie Cocoon, which had a lot more sense, action and humor, also relating to older couples that enjoy or rediscover love and passion. Even the few spoken dialogs were motionless. I believe that the story had more potential than it showed. Well, just my opinion.
writers_reign Definitely not one for the Multiplex so score one for the art house circuit. Ursula Werner is in her sixty sixth year as I write and she leaves actresses half her age dead in the water. She bears a passing facial resemblance to the great Simone Signoret in her Mama Rosa period and her acting compares favorably with that of Signoret and I personally can offer no higher praise than that. There will be those who take exception to a movie like this for all kinds of reasons, graphic - albeit tasteful - sex between geriatrics being one of them, pace being another but the trick is to ignore the sex scenes and the pace and decide if 1) this is a movie with something to say and 2) does it say it, with an optional 3) how well or badly does it say it. Ultimately it is a fine art house film built around an outstanding central performance.
Stephan Ortmann Sometimes you watch movies that are pretty empty. Well, this is one of them. A woman falls for another man in an affair that seems to be only motivated by sex. After some arguing, she decides to choose her new boyfriend and leave her husband for 30 years. After that, her husband dies, probably of suicide. (That is really not explained). This all takes a very long time. Except for the songs of a choir, there is not really a soundtrack. This makes it more difficult to understand the emotions and also makes some very long scenes very boring. What stands out for me, is that this woman decides against her love for life even though she still loves him, for a life of sex. And that her daughter agrees with her and even encourages her to continue. If that were my mother, I would certainly advise against a thing like that.While some acting was good, others was not very convincing. I especially think the directing lacked coherence. The use of rain and colors did not clearly add to the meaning of the film. Perhaps, the lack of a score did really make this movie really appear empty. This is reinforced at the end, when the "new" couple hold to each other shortly after the tragic event. All this adds up to a very poor movie. Definitely not recommended if you want to have an enjoying evening.
