A wonderful, surprising film. It’s a rare treat these days to genuinely not know where a film is going. Johannes Krisch is great in the lead role, one of those actors whose mere physical presence is fascinating.
I also loved the way it started out as fairly typical European arthouse miserabilism (a lot of which I enjoy, by the way), but ended up being something warmer and very human, with a good deal of compassion and forgiveness at its core.
