Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
The film, based on an original script by Jos Stelling and Bert Rijkelijkhuizen, tells the story of the Russian physician Nicolai who returns to an old hotel, the place where he first met his great love half a century ago, and relives his romantic tragedy. A large part of the film is set in the late nineteenth century and is situated in a abandoned hotel/sanatorium in Tannenfeld, Thuringia (formerly East Germany), where most of the recordings also took place. The hotel still has traces of an impressive past. Eventually it becomes clear why he really has returned.
Leave your thoughts about The Girl and Death.
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinSumptuous visuals, vivid emotional beats and memorable turns by Bichevin and Hoeks effectively compensate for the verbal sparseness. |
| Time OutKeith UhlichIt’s unfortunate that Stelling and his cast aren’t able to lift the story much above mawkishness. |
| NPRTomas HachardThere's no sense that the film recognizes its own absurd elements. |
| New York TimesNicolas RapoldThe movie proves to be a fragile conceit. It’s as likely to fall apart and cause frustration as it is to induce a reverie. |
| User ReviewDebra PI loved this movie! Deeply moving story about the passion of youth, the lasting connection between destiny and earthly time. I put this third in my favorite movies this year: The Grand Budipest Hotel, Birdman and The Girl and Death. If this had a Julia Roberts American star, this movie would be getting a lot more attention. That said, timelessness is poetic only in the hearts of lovers. Aliens, zombies, robots and horror geeks won't find a moment to grab here--athough it is a story locked in the ghosts of a lost path, which still has earthly intrigue to those who know its truths. The actors in this piece are all perfection. |
| User ReviewSarah SNot sure what those who seem to dislike the film say, because I thought it was great. |
| User ReviewWS WMoody, & beautifully shot; meanwhile, lingering however. |
