A famous actor is ... For this, it is re-using the wonderful music of Christoph Willibald Gluck's Opera. I love the main actors and the trailer was good. Featuring.
honestly i don't think, that this movie wants to prove that everlasting love is a myth. i have seen it few hours ago, and i found it really, really good. Don't watch. the thing i love about that movie is, that it goes deeper than most other romantic movies. One of his best works was the TV series of "Monaco Franze" in the late 70ies, here he succeeds again in showing REAL feeling. The scenes in the underworld are generally well done, but when Venus (aka Eurydice) sings out her love for Mimi (aka Orpheus), even the God Hermes starts crying and EVERYBODY in the movie theatre will start crying too.
Much more beauty in this one.

But sadly, this one here is equally weak as the Schweighöfer films of the 21st century for example, just for other reasons. filmportal.de - die führende Plattform für umfassende und zuverlässige Informationen zu allen deutschen Kinofilmen - von den Anfängen bis heute.
The movie comes with a reflection of feelings of love and loss but only to those who already learned about this before. Was this review helpful? There were moments when the actors (especially Bleibtreu) managed to elevate the material and make it look not so bad, but these were clearly in the minority compared to the amount of weak moments.
The visual effects and the direction of Helmut Dietl perfectly compliment the writing (script by Dietl and Patrick Süßkind) and the superb cast. Especially the casting of Alexandra Maria Lara as "Venus Morgenstern" is as brilliant as it gets.

The movie comes with a reflection of feelings of love and loss but only to those who already learned about this before. Film details. Sadly, I don't think it was, though it would have failed as a black comedy regardless due to its being extremely unfunny.
Fits of laughter followed by uncontrollable sobbing. Venus wants to return to Mimi, but finds out too late that he's dead. With Moritz Bleibtreu, Alexandra Maria Lara, Uwe Ochsenknecht, Anke Engelke. Thumbs-down.
For all the others, it will be just "kind of a weird story" as some of the comments here already show. Next time I wait till it comes on TV then I can switch the channel.

A renowned artist must uncover a young dancer's secrets in order to truly capture her likeness for a commissioned work. ), just shows, that even the smallest sentence, without any meaning, can brake a whole relaionship.
She is not only a stunning beauty; she also has so much soul and amiability in her eyes, she should get an academy award for it.
actually its a very good romantic piece. The imaginative opening credits (reflected in the watery-background theme in the close) set the tone for the film as a whole: convincing and witty dialogue without sounding too clever; surreal scenes of the underworld in the latter half of the movie; engaging twists in sexuality (a husband not interested, a wife who is, then their romance is rekindled via threesomes); and a soundtrack that is in turn banal-pop or highbrow-opera. The scenes in the underworld are generally well done, but when Venus (aka Eurydice) sings out her love for Mimi (aka Orpheus), even the God Hermes starts crying and EVERYBODY in the movie theatre will start crying too.
