Bedways

It's really a brilliant film about sex, love and desire. With great music, located in Berlin and yes, with graphic sex scenes, but no porn! I've seen this film at cinema, also on DVD (with interesting bonus material. It's shot in an unusual ratio, in 4 : 3. But I think, it works, because it looks like a portrait of the 3 heroes, because of this format. It's German, but I think, this is of course not a normal German movie. Bedways is much more international, really! Some words about the actors: The performance of the lead actress Miriam Mayet is awesome! She has a remarkable presence, not only at the great masturbation scene in one take, without a cut for around 10 minutes! BEDWAYS is for me a fascinating film project and real independent cinema from a wild brand new director from Berlin/ Germany, called RP Kahl! May be in some areas you will see this movie only in a "soft" version. So check out the original DVD ore the original festival print from Germany!

The movie is about making a movie about sex they did a good job in my opinion of making it look like it was two people in love not just a cheap porno. It look realistic and honest too bad more movies weren't done like this. There's nothing wrong with showing sex in my opinion, but make it look like it's real make it look like it's loving make it look like the people that are making love to one another are enjoying each other honestly and I got that out of this movie. The character seem to be real, and in my opinion, did a good job of portraying that . Too bad they weren't more like it a little bit titillating and real.

Nina wants to make a film about sex. She has no DP (director of photography), has a rented camera, and a male role. There is no script, little budget, and she only has a concept of what she wants to do. She auditions a female role, and there is a discussion of what names they are to use. The film is broken down into days, with each day being a progression in the script. They settle on Hans and Marie. Each day gets deeper into the film, but it seems clear Nina still does not have an idea of how she wants the film to develop. Some of what happens between Hans and Marie may or may not be part of the script. For instance, Hans is a chain smoker, and Marie mentions he stinks of smoke, and she starts to dislike him. But is that part of the intended tension in the film?

Is it a philosophic porno? Its a little fine stage play, on its best way. Its about desire, obsession for mankind, and so this can be seen as a bridge to be a political movie. The figures are clean and with our empathy They are confronted with our hard reality and all its contradictions. So hardcore? The camera is with the actors, and so they are not lost helpless in their fears, we can smell them and embrace them, we all need love like this. Its some kind of Zeitgeist-movie, but not only German / Berlin. The movie is a laboratory of our feelings, and life.. Its the game with ourself confidence, and tries to understand the stranger in us. Thats really thrilling like an action movie, Bedways it's a movie on the road, a trip through our soul, lets keep there, we are all artworks! Nude bodies are not as an end of itself, we start being our selves in bare bodies. What is love, sex, how do I find it? Is sex love? Do I want great love or better sex? Is love sexy? Extential questions, not all answered, but great films put questions, not answer all questions. Its more than a erotic asking! This movie you can see again and again!

I've seen this movie a couple days ago. Story was so complicated so realizing what the movie try to say was really hard. Another hard thing is enduring watch to the end. Normally I prefer watching movies till the end cos maybe film can be better soon but this time u gonna see when u watch either this not gonna happen, i mean movie will begin bad and gonna end like this. Totally waste of time. Don't even try to watch it. Camera angles were terrible and it was shoot like a holiday shoot. Even if its a amateur film the director should obey some rules. He could use a better technology for example. Anyway look where ever u want it was awful.
