Love in Thoughts review by GS
Intelligent & Atmospheric German Drama
(1) of (1) members found this review helpful.
This is a story of tangled relationships and, to some extent, obsession and is based on true events set in the 1920’s. Paul is in love with Hilde who is currently enjoying sex with the ex boyfriend of her brother (Gunther). Gunther, of course, is still in love with his ex which all leads to a complex and emotional battle of wills. The movie unfolds slowly and some people might find the pace too slow. It is however beautifully shot with atmospheric lighting and excellent performances all round. The score adds to the atmosphere and highlights an underlying tension and eroticism between the four main characters. There is also a constant feeling of sadness throughout the whole of the film. Not one for action lovers….more for lovers of deep, sophisticated and moody European films.
