Schneeflöckchen

When you read Snowflake (english title), you may think this is about politics, but it has absolutely nothing to do with that. So in case you were thinking in that direction, forget about it. I actually don't know if there could've been a different title for this movie. It is really something crazy and almost unique. At least for Germany and it's filmmaking culture.

This really goes full throttle when it comes to crazy. It takes one idea and runs with it. No prisoners taken. That means it may have issues from time to time and the movie feels like it's done in chapters (when you realize it was shot over a period of 4 years, mostly on weekends, due to money/funding problems, it makes sense) ... if you don't mind that and like movies to take it to the next level, break the 4th wall (and any other walls nearby with it), then you could do a lot worse. This is fun and silly, but especially driven to be different. And it very much succeeds in that regard. If you have an affinity for low budget movies with hillarios ideas ... come on in and enjoy the show!

Out of my head I can't recall if I saw alot of good German movies before, but if there is one thing for sure is that I will remember this one. They came up with a very original story, entertaining and worth watching. Not only is the story original but it's also well told and filmed. In the end the whole weird thing is just making sense. As for the cast I don't know any of the actors but they did a very good job. All ingredients to make a good movie. And it has some good humoristic parts that made me laugh more then once. Schneeflöckchen will please people that like weird stories. A German movie that I will remember.

I really loved this film. Saw it at the Fantasy Film Fest in Berlin. Finally Germany has made a great fantasy film. It's a great plot too: Someone murdered their families and these guys have to hunt them down, but they get caught in a wicked fantasy. It's soooo Berlin of the future. Very original. Hooray!

I have to say, although i'm German, that our movie industry sucks... We are producing one unfunny comedy with Schweiger/Schweighöfer after the other and our glory days in filmmaking are long gone, nearly forgotten by some... but then there was Schneeflöckchen a brillant, funny and bloody movie from some friends who wanted to make something different... and they totally nailed it.

Well, the story was seen before but not with those twists and strange characters and on top of that, it maybe started a new wave of cinema for Germany, but we will see about that in the future. All i have to say is, that this is a fantadtic movie with a brillant ending and a bright future to look forward to.

Special thanks to Capelight, who made a cinema run for the movie possible...

Great humour, very original, good storyline, actors on top. I enjoyed it so much! It should be on every big screen!
