(2022) 99 Moons
(In German with English subtitles)
ADULT DRAMA
Written and directed by Jan Gassmann that opens with a defenseless woman that looked like she was being attacked by a man wearing a mask in an underground bridge. And as it turned out it was nothing but play acting or foreplay by the woman herself, Bigma (Valentina Di Pace) to which she gets turned on if someone were to attack her. And because no money was exchanged it may be one of those online hook up requests. She then drops him off as we witness Frank's (Dominik Fellmann) daily routine is like where he interacts with other people while she is at an office trying to compete with other members for sponsor money and wins after her presentation. The next thing we know, he either pursues her and vice versa. To which when Bigma tried the same playacting at the opening but this time with some other person, it was not the same thing. When Frank succeeds into finding out where she works and so forth, she then returns the favor. This is not like any relationship movie for it after the hour mark, we find out she is an already married woman searching for a bad boy to help her relieve some of her fantasies. Will she stay with her faithful, successful husband, Georg Huber (Danny Exnar)!
I tried watching this movie until it got to the scene where they both decided to ditch from paying for their meal! I thought that was too cliche and corny since Bigma was supposed to be the wealthy one who should be able to afford to pay for it after that grant. I have no idea what Frank does for a living, for on one scene, it is presumed he works at a club or at a bar, the next thing we know he is a waiter. The entire movie meanders like that to which if she is actually somewhat supposedly be an upper class scientist, the movie does not do a very good job about showing it.
