Feuerrose

The Brandls (the brothers Helmut & Günther and their sister Monika) are German independent no-budget filmmakers with a quite astounding filmography (50+ movies!!) This is their _first_ short movie (36m) and I must say, I am quite impressed. It's about a sad and serious topic and the Brandls do deliver their story in their inimitable way. This time, it is not a trashy fun-flick, but a serious drama. Chapeau to Monika Brandl. She plays the leading role in a strong and brave although desperate and and vulnerable way. Hollywood lovers ye be warned! This is not a polished glamour chick, but a strong, real woman!

Try this, if you want to be impressed by raw truth in a raw movie.
