Der Wendepunkt

Sometimes you meet someone and you know this is it. Not romantically speaking (no pun intended), though it may seem so at certain points of the story. Especially when it feels like one of the parties is showing jealousy and the other may not be as .. grateful as the other one thinks is necessary.

Trying to be as vague as possible, because I do not want to reveal anything - it is my credo after all. So this story of two individuals who are different, but hit it off from the moment they meet, is well told. It may get a bit too hectic for its own good towards the end ... and live too much on chance ... but hey, it is fun to watch overall, that cannot be disputed.

I have seen worst in new wave crime films and this one is a good surprise. An interesting psychological study of characters thru a crime scheme with mobsters. It is violent, sad, but cheap in the production design and directing too. Maybe a bit more ambition could have brought some more fresh blood, but the main thing is saved to keep interest from the audiences.

A chance encounter between the film's two protagonists sets in motion a series of events that are foreseen and unforeseen, in this simple and direct well-told story. The building tension in the film's last part is fairly palpable, as we see the thief meet his denouement.

Good story, but kinda slow. I liked all characters, esp ludoviko. When it started, i thought its gonna be a great crime thriller, but then , it had a story, and was like a normal movie. Not boring.. but once a watch movie.

Unexpectedly very sweet and gentle film, well written, acted and directed. Both actors and characters are very good and likable.

The script is also quite funny and sad at the same time. Not a masterpiece but a very enjoyable watch. Apart from a little tear at the end.
