Day 205 - Two Lives (German)







"
It is based on an unpublished novel, Ice Ages, by German author Hannelore Hippe. (It has since been published.) She was inspired by reports in the late 1980s of the discovery of the half-burned body of a young woman near Bergen, and there was speculation as to her identity. This was just before the fall of the Berlin Wall and reunification of Germany.
The film gradually unravels the story of Katrine Evensen Myrdal (Kohler), a happily married woman with a grown daughter and granddaughter, and of her mother Ase Evensen (Ullmann). Katrine is known to have escaped from East Germany and made her way to Norway as a young woman to be reunited with her birth mother, Ase Evensen."

Didn't like it at all! It was boring and very predictable. I didn't even like the cast nor the characters in the film but I do like the subject matter. Though I don't like the execution of the plot because it was quite bland despite the subject matter.

0/5
