303

303 is so beautiful and knows how to take its time, edit it all together nicely, use music effectively, and the subtlety of the direction works as well. The actors also are very good and give a sense of honesty to their characters. I wasn't sure if it could actually pull off a runtime of over two hours, but it could and it never got dull or uninteresting. Think Before trilogy, but German and with its own feeling to it.

By the way, I think it's pretty funny the director actually had a role in Before Sunrise as a cafe patron.

On a sidenote, 2018 seems to me like a unusually good year for German cinema from what I have seen so far.

Please give this film a chance if you are a fan of talky movies. I really love this one a lot.

This is inevitably going to be compared to Before Sunrise, the 1995 Linklater film about a girl and boy who meet on the road and spend the film walking and talking about the inane, self-absorbed, philosophical things that young strangers in their 20s talk about. I loved Before Sunrise, but watching it again after decades I was struck by how heavy-handed and affected, albeit charming, it felt, how much the actors felt like movie stars rather than average people.

"303" feels utterly natural, unaffected. The leads are attractive (of course) but their portrayal of the frailties and warmth of two random strangers who find themselves unexpected travelling companions is believable and sympathetic. This is a film about two people in their 20s talking. The conversations are in turns inane, thoughtful, philosophical, naive, imbued with a sense of self-uniqueness and import that is the nature of being in your 20s. There is drama as well on this journey, but it is low key and ultimately isn't the point. The journey is the point.

Where "303" loses a star or two is that it never really pushes boundaries. It is what it seems to be, no more and no less. That's still pretty great.

Many directors try to put out their take on Life what is good what is not into their films... but most of the time they end up making either a messed up movie which nobody understands or some boring documentary like film...

But Here the Directors put out his or rather smthg that everyboy know subconsciously into a very Beautiful film...

The Performance of both the actors was also so Intimate and it truly hits you esp jule...

Everything abt the film.. Cinematography, Music, Acting, Script and esp the conversations are pure Bliss to Watch...

There were many scenes where there is no cut for Minutes on and the actors speak their dialogue... true Film Making and pure Art...

Two brilliant young handsome German university students in a fresh romantic comedy + road movie.

A German road trip movie that develops the tension between two characters during a journey from Berlin to Spain. The dialog is exploratory, with a wide range of topics touched-on, including religion, politics, philosophy, relationships and the development of human survival in history and modern times.

The characters depicted in the movie both explore each others view point without demanding acceptance of their own beliefs. Over time they reconcile each others differences and come to a common understanding.

This is a gentle film with no particular surprises. The acting is good and the characters become likeable for their openess and understanding on the many issues facing them.

Great cinematography with spectacular scenery and locations. Overall A good well made and enjoyable movie.
