    Coming round the mountain

    Lenz is the ultimate alpine castaway, feeling his isolation all the more strongly because his affection for his lost love Natalie and their son keeps him tied to the world below. He sets up his makeshift base camp in the Swiss Alps to deep-freeze his heavy heart and make a movie we know next to nothing about. Outstanding performances by Milan Peschel as Lenz and Barbara Maurer as Natalie, inter-cut with enticing shots of Mount Matterhorn, heavily edited to fit the maniac's frame of mind. "Lenz" is a fine sample of director Thomas Imbach's unique blend of grim solipsism, visual daring and absurd comedy. On a par with Carsten Knoops "The Cold Rage of Makalu" and Werner Herzog's very own "Fitzcarraldo".
