Schwarzer Panther

"Schwarzer Panther" (2014) is a captivating film that delves into the complex dynamics of sibling romance. The story revolves around an older sister who returns home with her husband to sell their family house.

However, the past haunts the brother and sister, bringing their buried emotions to the surface. The movie beautifully portrays their forbidden romance, relying heavily on visual storytelling rather than dialogue to convey the depth of their relationship.

The cinematography is stunning, capturing the tension and intimacy between the siblings. Despite the minimal dialogue, the visuals speak volumes, making the audience feel the characters' emotions intensely. However, the ending of the movie is quite confusing and leaves much to interpretation.

It is hard to understand what exactly happens in the final scenes, which might leave viewers wishing for a bit more clarity. Overall, "Schwarzer Panther" is a visually striking film that explores taboo themes with sensitivity, but its ambiguous ending might not satisfy everyone.

Siblings love and hate each other - naturally. Now when I say love ... well the natural order would not go as far as what or how much they love each other here. And you can feel it from the first moment - very early at least.

This is drama and madness combined. The acting is really good, the pacing is slow. It will not be everyones cup of tea. And the husband being oblivious to it all ... but this is more philosophical than anything else. Especially the ending ... where I reckon you can read quite a lot into - this is your "homework" - the movie does not just serve you things, it lets you decide what they mean.

If it wasn't for the messed up subject matter of the film this movie would be completely unwatchable! It's slow moving bore with uninteresting characters. The love story is barely interesting. And the story that's going on with the business goes nowhere. The acting is competent and the cinematography is good. Besides that this movie is crap! Boring on all levels and simply a bad story. Watch it if you like eating your time.

The story is nuanced and some people may not like dramas where the story is in the subtleties of two people in love, but that shouldn't mean it's a "boring movie" as someone else wrote. It's only boring if you aren't interested in the plot in the first place. For the rest of us, it's actually a little intense.

The interactions between the siblings are often only visual and without dialog. The barrier between right and wrong isn't really their concern, it's more about whether or not they can sustain their romance without having problems from the outside world. But see, they don't say these things, it is just implied. If you're not picking up on that, then I can understand why you would think it's boring or that there's no plot.

My only complaint is that I want to find out what happens next. I feel the movie could have been a little longer and have them run away together to try to make it work. The potential for a lot more drama is there, including how and where they hide, what they tell people about themselves, how long that lasts, etc. This film felt like the first episode in a series I'd like to see.
