Irgendwann werden wir uns alles erzählen

No pun intended - mixing two or rather even three titles into one summary thing. Well you know me - maybe. If you have read some of my reviews. This being a german movie, I did use the term "ossi" which is how germans that are from west Germany used to call people who were from east Germany. Wessi would be the other way around - so we got both.

That being said, the title I sort of took here as inspiration is from the movie Rebel without a cause. In Germany the movie is called "denn sie wissen nicht was sie tun" - because they do not know what they do. Which is also something from the bible. Both applicable to the movie - and that's why I mixed them and used it. Funnily enough, because I had forgotten the title of the movie, I ordered the ticket at my cinema under the german title of the James Dean movie.

Back to the movie at hand though. It may seem and/or feel that the movie has no purpose. No goal for the characters ... well maybe growing up. But especially from the beginning, we do not know what our main character wants ... she lives in the now united Germany ... not that you can feel a lot of it ... and it is not about that overall. It is about her and her story.

That said, the aftermath of the inclusion is being made a topic from time to time. And while this is happening in the background, our main character has an awakening ... a sexual and love awakening. Which means you will be getting quite a lot of nudity ... be aware of that ... it should not bother you. Sometimes it may make you uncomfortable ... long pauses, where you can feel the sensuality ... you can feel an outburst is coming any minute/second ... which is not easy or comfortable for some, especially when watching it with others (in a cinema for example).

A lolita kind of story - embeded in a historical context then. Although as we learn later not exactly lolita. While I was certain the actress was older (22 or 23 I think at the time of shooting), it is never clear how old her character is supposed to be. Which makes her ... sexual life even more ... well weird I reckon. Again, depending on your sensibilities. Towards the end we learn she was 18 at the beginning of the movie - so all legal ... the drama surrounding her ... well there does not seem to be an easy way out ... and I guess in the end there isn't one - at least not without someone losing their mind/head ...

The insultingly low overall IMDb score does this new, fresh, yet classic feeling German film great injustice, as it is a meticulously craftet cinematic tale, that will mesmerize and move those who still have the sensibility and patience to respond to well-crafted art: the art of cinematic storytelling.

I can find no flaws in this gorgeous film: not in the script, not in the actors, not in the cinematography, not in the locations, not in the music. It felt like it was was a classic tale, yet new and fresh, and hot like the hight of summer. This film is a simmering pastoral tale of love and pain, well worth seeing.

... a twenty-something Marlene Burow is the only reason watching this quickly-gets-to-being-boring movie... a seemingly-intelligent-teenager being attracted to abusive-sex with a forty-year-old farmer is a far stretch... a dramatic ending relieves viewers of all nonsensical-possibilities

... when watching a beautiful young woman having sex gets boring, you know the film has lost it's core-interest.. all the East-West reunification symbolism gets gibberished... it's a film that wants viewers to think more about other things, but then directs them to sex-scenes again and again... well made, just not-well-written-directed.

I must admit, that that movie is a something different.

That happens on a hot summer in small, picturesque village. Young, bookish girl met a much older, outcast from the village. She started to be drawn to him even though he's brutal and doesn't speak much. But he reads poems.... Sounds unreal? Why not? I also fell for a much older man, when I was young.

I'm also can relay with her in the other things. I remember the end of the communism in Poland. That unsure what future will bring us, lots of jobless people but also hope and joy that we could buy things that we coudn't afford earlier.

And those amazing pictures, full of summer sun. You could almost smell the greenery, and feel the hot air.

So that's not only a love story, but also a portrait of people during the radical changes. And story about the choices we he to take.

If you are fed up with common movies ended with a weddind bells, watch that. Cos this movie is something else.

A dirty and old(ish), somewhat unattractive brute starts advancing on the local 17 year old beauty. Unfortunately for everybody, he gives off a major rapey vibe. Their first meeting is literally him groping her without consent.

Since her boyfriend is very goofy, she eventually gives in to the brute and allows him to take her very roughly and a borderline sexually abusive affair ensues.

It's a German movie, so this counts as a romantic comedy.

The lack of diversity is fine. This is set in early 90's East Germany and people of colour and the disabled obviously hadn't been invented yet.

The cinematographer needs a big raise though.
