Suis-je belle ?

I am sorry to say that, but this film is one of the worst I have ever seen. There is nothing to say against breaking a rule, but breaking all rules in one film definitely is too much. This film lacks the plot, the protagonist, the conflict and the showdown. It is an "esoteric" report about what life is about (or so) and may be intended as a portrait of todays social behaviour. Being stuck in a traffic jam for 5 hours is more interesting.

This movie deserves a better review than the previous one by Melendez from Brazil. It is true that the plot is complex and not easy to follow, but if you are looking for easy entertainment, this is not for you. There are some very mature sub-plots that will leave some viewers behind, empty, and in the dust. (If you care to look at the votes on this, the demographic breakdown is proof of this; the older the viewers, the higher the rating!) It takes a superb attention span and recall to get to the end of this film in one piece and then you might wonder where you started; but it is worth it. This movie is like a fascinating painting that you can't forget even tho it has some drips,runs,and smudges in it.

A disappointment from Germany's Doris Dorrie. In this Altman like cast movie, with dozens of Germany's and Spain's actors "du jour", these stars' talents are wasted on boring and anything but innovative sub plots (there is no single discernible plot) and very little to link all the characters.Not even the excellent Framka Potente (Run Lola Run) nor Maria Schrader (Nobody Loves Me, and Aimee and Jaguar)nor Joachim Krol (Maybe, Maybe Not) can sustain one's interest in this Euro yawner.

well this movie struck me when i watched it first.

all you need is an open mind and no preoccupancy to sudden changes and their impact into individual life. a little freedom, sometimes just arriving and you are there: in doris doerries fiction, and right into the human nature with all the fascination set into the right light and location with a hint of miracle... dd has her own way of making movies and i hope she will go on...

i think this is one of the best movies i have ever seen and one of my all time favorites....watch it !!

"Life according to Doris" might be an adequate alternative title to this film. Instead of telling a linear story with a showdown, Dörrie spotlights moments in people's life that tell everything about their past, their present and the world that surrounds them. The way she does it puts her in one line with Jim Jarmusch. As in most of her other films, it is what the characters say and do more than how it is filmed what makes the film. "Bin ich schön?" is the closest any of Dörries's films comes to her remarkable short stories.
