teenage drama thankfully free of cliche-conflicts

[m_mckechneay · 9/10 · 17 July 2001]

This short drama of very young Austrian director Marie Kreutzer tells the story of a "forbidden" first love in a very subtle way. There is no scandalisation about the fact, that 14-year old Theres falls in love with her older brother Jakob. Just gentle, telling gazes, secret gestures amidst a general feeling of desperate loneliness. Marie Kreutzer proves talent not only in script-writing but foremost in her work with amateur-actors.
