Bedways

Bedways is a bare-bones Berlin chamber piece about a filmmaker and two performers circling art, intimacy, and who gets to call the shots. Most of it unfolds in a sparsely lit apartment, concrete floors, rumpled sheets, and a camera that sits uncomfortably close. The vibe is chilly yet curious, with long pauses, awkward laughter, and talk about what counts as real on screen. A few moments linger, morning light on a mattress, a quiet smoke by the window, the sense that everyone is trading nerves and bodies for a scrappy project.

I like the intent. It pushes back on the slick romance market, choosing messy honesty instead. Still, the experiment drifts, some scenes feel like acting drills and the power dynamics get announced more than they are felt. If you are up for an earnest, low-budget provocation with a couple images that stick, it is worth seeing once, patience required.

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.

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.

Bedways shows you a female movie director shooting a rehearsal for a movie she's still looking for a producer. But we don't know what exactly she is up to, and so the actor and actress she's working with. She just keep telling them to have sex.

After half an hour of the movie, the "actress" asks: "what's this all about?" And the answer is: "I don't know yet. That's what we're trying to discover." So, that could be the director's message, why a movie should be about something?

There are three main characters in Bedways, all of them looks depressed and bored. Dialogues are disjointed, questions left unanswered or replied by irrelevant sentences, in one point we even get a one way conversation.

I try to find anything good about this movie. At first I think the lighting is good, but then they blew it over the top. And the sex scenes are aplenty, but kind of turn you off. So, I think Bedways just gives the Indie film a bad impression.

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!
