The Art of Love

Beautiful story about loneliness in a business that usually has people come together. Excellent acting, stunning camera, exquisite shirt-patterns and funny props.

It is very rare to see a movie that can charm an audience without the extensive use of special effects, worn-out clichés and action set pieces these days.

I "discovered" this movie at the Zuerich Film festival ZFF. I got to see the movie on it's last showing, and all I can say is that it will not pain me one bit to pay to see this gem a second time.

Assembling the best and most unlikeliest of ensemble casts you may probably see for a long time, Great directing, beautiful camera work and when the more touching moments arrive, they don't seem forced but natural and honist, because these moments are truly earned. But WHAT a collection of characters this is. Alexandra Gilbreath absolutly stunning as Eva Parker I can't describe in words - you must see! Oliver Walker is perfect as tired influencer Adam Kowinski, searching for a real meaning in life. The crazy "Boss"; Kenneth Collard finds new shades of darkest despair and comedy as the man with the master plan; "Ted Lasso's" Jeremy Swift does amazing things with little more than facial expressions as Eva's Husband who's deep into potatoness, and many more perfictly casted supporting actors. A MUST see!

Heartwarming, sad and beautiful story. And then it's funny too. The two protagonists are ideally cast. The set, designed with great attention to funny detail, deserves extra praise. Definitely watch it.

The film begins somewhat superficially and lovelessly. But the development that the protagonists then go through and the unexpected twists that the film makes, have touched me, made me laugh and fascinated me. The film is about loneliness, about the difficulty to show feelings and the courage to be oneself and to stand by oneself. All this is packed in a very funny story that tells about the development and testing of sex toys. The approach of the two main characters is enormously touching, the dialogues funny and yet very close to reality. It is a great pleasure to watch these two and what a transformation they go through. The film is absolutely great and the actors brilliant!

Imaginative, witty, quirky, full of humor, with quiet moments of touching power and truth. It's about loneliness, love, sex, the meaning of life and "likes". Highly topical and yet full of deep truth. A lovingly and lightly told story, full of whimsical ideas, with excellent actors and images that you will not soon forget.

This film is a stunner. Absolutely worth seeing!!
