    Utopia Blues - A film-highlight in Switzerland

    The film Utopia Blues is a real pearl in the normally absolutely dull swiss film scene. Its about a boy who's biggest wish is to get Musician. The only problem is, that he doesn't care at all what all the people around him (Mother, Friends, Teachers) try to say him. He just wants to live his own, "weird" live. After a stay in a nuthouse he's inclined to start his career, even without support of his environment. His only friend in this difficult time was his grandfather who's in a retirement home. This film shows some very interesting aspects of being young in a "perfect world" without any "real" problems. The leading actor, Michael Finger, is showing an excellent performance. Also the Soundtrack is worth to be listened.

    Cheers

    One of the greatest movies I have ever seen!

    I watched "Utopia Blues" at the Ophüls-Preis film festival in Germany. Happily, it was subtitled, because I could hardly understand the Swiss dialect. The actors are great and play so naturally, it is amazing! I love the music, too. This movie really touched me. It is not easy entertainment ; it is good.

    one of the best films of the Contemporary

    It is definitely one of the best European films of Contemporary. What can i say?!I was really touched by the story, really good acting and of course Stefan Haupt did a super good directing job. I saw the film during the Molodist Film Festival (Kiev, Ukraine)in 2002. It was such an impression!!!

    The story of Rafael, a fun-loving youth on the verge of manhood who is trying to make his dream of total freedom come true. Determined to conquer the world with his Utopia Blues Band at any cost, Rafael's philosophy is that «life is a game». But the game unexpectedly becomes bitter earnest. How much freedom is permitted?
