Avis à la une
The film is a crazy ride of loneliness, jealousy, betrayal and loss... but told in an almost upside down way, with the female lead being played by a mannequin. There is nothing predictable about this film. It pays homage to many art films of old, and is clearly helmed by a very talented director.
I enjoyed this film but be warned it is not for everybody. If you don't enjoy surreal, off the wall art films than this is not for you. If you have never watched a film in the genre, you should give it a try. A potential cult classic.

The Berlin Bride comes across like a German Expressionist episode from The Twilight Zone; and that's good thing. The tension and unusualness of this film kept me enthralled from the first frame to the last. Kudos to the filmmaker for doing so much with so little, proving once again that you don't need a grand budget to tell a story remarkably.
What an interesting vision of Berlin in what seems like the 80s. Each shot, from the first to the last, was unique to the film's vision. I absolutely love the haunting soundtrack, with gorgeous violin lines throughout. What grace we see in both the music as well as the visuals of all of the hands that make up this story. There is a beautiful blend throughout the film of non-diegetic sound that becomes diegetic. This is done seamlessly. Amazing job throughout!!
This is very much an art house film, but with a strong and compelling narrative. The sparse use of dialogue, the 4:3 aspect ratio that's acknowledged by the curtains ...and the freaking cat which I love!!!... celebrates the medium of film.
If you ever took a film class in college, or ever deep-dived at a film festival, you'll not only appreciate this film, but you're sure to enjoy it too.

I didn't think that I would like this movie but it had me hooked from the first minute. There wasn't much said in this movie and that is why it stood out. It makes you think about what is going on and the images are stunning. Strange characters, strange occurrences and even more bizarre of an ending. This was on par with Kung Fu Hustle and should be a film added to everyone's collection. You won't have another one like! I guarantee it-

- AnecdotesSteve Buscemi, visiting Berlin with his girlfriend at the time, spent a quiet evening alone with Bartlett reviewing early footage of what would become today's The Berlin Bride. Bartlett's apartment was on Seesener Strasse, No. 23, where the young director not only lived but also where most of the film's interiors were shot. Buscemi, a street performer and off-Broadway actor at that time, sat with Bartlett on the carpet, a few beers between them, watching the rough 16mm footage Bartlett had copied to VHS tapes for review. Bartlett was preparing for another project when a friend, who had caught Buscemi performing in New York, thought he might be good for the lead in the new film. Nothing ever came of the new project, just good memories of a fun evening in West Berlin.
