Do outro lado...






Já não ia ao cinema há algum tempo. E valeu bem a pena o regresso para ver este "Do outro lado", do realizador Fatih Akin. Um filme que retrata bem a "Nova Europa", de fronteiras cada vez mais fluídas, em que a Fortaleza já não faz qualquer sentido. Mas acima de tudo, uma grande história, com grandes personagens. Afinal, sempre o mais importante...

Info sobre o filme.

Hi! U r the 3rd (and 1st non-German, non-Turkish, non-German-Turkish) who was quicker than the rest and strongly recommends the new Fatih Akin… No doubt, the most impressive talent in current German cinema. Is it like in the other Akin´s (Head On, etc), namely drawing upon a very shaking and particular case which seems extraordinary at first sight but, out of its niche, proves the very general? A destiny connecting different people (by chance at first sight), apparently extreme, but one concludes that their fate just happens all the time – only that we normally dont happen 2 watch (out beyond the walls of boring, comforting, self-centred burgoise leisuretime privacies)…?

Yes, yes, yes. And also yes for the "most impressive talent in current German cinema.
And all served by great actors. You really have to watch it. I'll wait for your comment here after watching it.

Hi! Here goes the very late comment. Late, because I remained seated and silent in front of the last take of this moving movie for some days or a week... That´s what Akin does with the audience: his ends dont set an end but make us imagining the never ending story of his characters with whom we tend to fall in love.
Remember the last take of Head On? Him, in the leaving bus? Very probable, this had not been the last word of the story spoken, either...
Back to the Other Side: Lotte´s mum was the biggest surprise to me. Hannah Schygulla grew old with dignity (she was THE VERY blond in post-war German Critical Left cinema, often directed by Rainer Werner Fassbender, playing e.g. Lilli Marlen!).
In favour to other bloggers who still might want to watch this movie, I keep it cryptic:
1. Thanks for the fact that trips to India were so famous in the late 1960s.
2. Dr. House is so wrong when stating Death Ends Everything ;-).
3. So many options how the story might go on. Curiously, one doesnt need to limit their future to only one. Or do you?
