Haute Couture - Die Schönheit der Geste

I enjoyed watching this movie from the first to the last moment. A story about friendship, collegiality and believing in each other when we need it.

It depicts how every one of us has its own struggle, or, in words (at least in rough words) of one of the characters, we all have our cross. But bearing one is easier when we have someone beside us.

The storyline is simple and beautiful, just like haute couture should be.

The atmosphere and the possibilities are just beautiful, but the impossible attitude of the young lady is like covering with mud a fine dress. Too stubborn, blind, and impossible to be a likable character, while everyone around her just call her to life. Exasperating. Then it is quickly resolved, but leaves too many scars in the way. The theme and the lady's character are absolutely fascinating.

For anyone who has never been given a chance in life or, when young, been paid no attention, the attention of someone who gives you a chance to make a life that will go nowhere into one that could be glorious, is often a rare thing.

A story of mentorship, friendship, and craftsmanship. Real life isn't a hollywood movie with snappy lines and over rated actors, it's about struggles of the ordinary kind.

Here we have a young woman who, in the circumstance of having robbed someone, is urged by her friends to make it right. And in that turn of events that sometimes happens, friendship and kindness become a part of her life rather than poverty and hopelessness. A very nice way to spend an afternoon.
