Baden Baden
Darum geht's
Als Ana ihren verhassten Job als Set-Runnerin bei einem großen Dreh in Belgien hinschmeißt, trifft sie eine impulsive Entscheidung, die ihre bisherigen Pläne umwirft. Den Sommer über, als eine alte Liebe wieder aufflammt und Anas Großmutter ins Krankenhaus muss, tut sie ihr Bestes, um klarzukommen.
Darum sehenswert
Dies ist der Höhepunkt der Ana Trilogy, und gleichzeitig Rachel Langs Spielfilm-Debüt. Mit einer unterhaltsamen Balance zwischen Comedy und Tragedy erzeugt sie hier eine seltene Vitalität, die so ansteckend wie bewegend ist. Mit einer Heldin, so zeitlos wie Frances Ha und doch einzigartig gut.
It’s very fresh and often very funny stuff, communicated in a direct, unforced style. The movie is so unconcerned with narrative momentum, however, that the viewer may be apt to forget there’s even a story in the first place. This is not nearly as annoying as it might sound. That’s partly because Ana is such good company.

Another Gaze
Shots of Ana removing the bath and instaling a shower, alongside the docile Gregoire, who she met at a DIY store, become one of the film’s many architectural vignettes. The scenes work to uproot and reimagine film history’s use of the shower scene as a space where physical and metaphorical violences against women take place. Baden Baden’s bathroom is the backdrop for Shakespearian comic relief and gives structure to the film’s intentionally aimless, episodic narrative.

If the abbreviated version of Ana was self-assured, Baden Baden’s is the opposite. Unsure, doubtful, and vulnerable. She is, however, refreshingly in embrace of her confusion that at this juncture in her life that marks more a digression than regression.
