classical swiss movie, 12 May 2005

Author: magbeides5691 from Germany

A great "classical" swiss movie in black and white about a friendship of two men, who formerly were lovers, and when they see again after three years, one of them, Wendel, who is bi, has decided to marry and the other, David, one continues to live gay. a wonderful film about love and freedom in life and how people change their minds during their life. I saw this film 10 years ago, and it is very fresh in my mind and i would say this is one of the movies who really influenced my life because i was in the same emotional position as Wendel who decided easily to love a woman and not to stay only gay. the film showed me, that this is a real option in life. and: the movie is very easily filmed, it has, although it has a grave theme, no gravity at all, all is very human. the movie got a prize in Germany, the Max Ophüls Prize 1988. the movie is rarely to see, if you get the chance to see it, do it.
