Schneeflöckchen

I have waited way too long and have seen way too many miserable German films - but "Snowflake" is my reward, the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow of shite.

Not since "Run, Lola, run" has a film blended action, humor, violence and smart dialog so perfectly. It's also a brilliant meditation on the nature of movie making and determinism/free will.

It's nigh unbelievable that - due to a lack of studio or network support - this was actually filmed over the course of four years (mostly on weekends). It looks absolutely polished, never openly betraying its very limited budget.

Is it flawless? Almost. Sure, the final act could've done with some minor trimming, the title is a bit bland and the sections that were shot in English are a bit more awkward than the rest - but these are minor quibbles.

Watch it in German, if you can - watch it with subtitles, if you must. But watch it. You'll have one hell of a time.

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!

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

This movie is a much needed breeze of fresh air in a country where most of the movies take them-self way to serious. Snowflake is so unusual, so funny and first and foremost so entertaining. The cast is tremendous. Doesn't matter if it is the both leads Reza Brojerdi and Erkan Acar with their banter or Alexander Schubert as the screenwriter or on screen legend David Gant. Also the look is what really elevates the movie. The cinematography makes you think you are watching something with a much higher budget that they actually got, all crowdfunding by the way. I hope that this will make it's way into movie theaters nationwide and even internationally eventually but nonetheless I have no doubt in my mind that director Adolfo Kolmerer will make his way as well as Arend Remmers who delivered this incredible script. Snowflake delivers on every level. Go watch this movie and enjoy it as much as I did.

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.
