[The following section is necessary, of course, only for those who have already seen the movie, so be careful: Spoilergefahr;)] In this film, the main character Chris has also shown us something. At first, everything seemed easy and romantic, then seemed clear that the external additions and conditions are contrary to the feelings and needs of Love Quartet. From an amour à trois can be here for once not talk. Somehow seem Chris and Nola to be with their respective relationships that one not recognized by the family's domestic partner and lack estimated that overestimated others of the same family (his partner) and desires. Fast unhappy Even me as spectators crowded initially on a biased image of blind enjoy the temptations of a decadent upper-class life with Nola and Chris' sincere affection to the noble family of the brother and sister. Then just as quickly became apparent that the siblings are very superficial and easygoing, while Chris and Nola are looking for something Sinnhaftigeres wise than the (translucent) appearance of sophistication (opera and classical literature). I thought that relatives in the spirit would be attracted you therefore intimate and faithful to each other. Then it seemed only to be Nola, Chris showed her cold shoulder after a casual for her sexual permissiveness and the end and culmination of the Affair (after pregnancy) eventually Nolan at a deeper and more responsible relationship with Nola to have no serious interest more , So keep changing the sensibilities and desires of the two main characters, while the aristocratic family environment constant as bloodless, routinely appears (expectations and roles are tried and eventually met) as substantially unchanged. Anyway, me in particular Chris misled with its ambiguous and increasingly dubious motives, the plot was always gloomy and Chris unsympathetic towards the middle of the film, all human weaknesses, uncertainties and abysses pointing. Romantics in the audience will be disappointed and hurt by the embassy safe pregnancy Nola. This happened to me that I have to believe to the displaced and advanced vacation in the good intentions of Chris, to the victory of passion and true love. But Chris showed only apparently weak character, easily and cowardly to finally show his true colors, by opting for the outer harmony and substantive and institutional prosperity and security. No everybodys darling So finally (at least for the expectant and eternally hopeless romantic viewers) ... And so finally the tightness walked with me in the heart and wandered from the chest over a sinking until finally epigastric discomfort solidifying. The cramping and hiding their own courage of the protagonists were transmitted directly to the ruthlessly-being of the happy ending spoiled audience. The end of the film, however, is more open and leaves a wound that Chris almost justified by bumbling investigators and apparently Chris zugetane luck overtakes the botched eliminating the murder tracks and a curse forever on his life and the outwardly seemingly happy marriage to his is loads carefree and uncomplicated woman (and probably the most severe penalty is to be compared to the truth, prison and divorce for him) ...
Conclusion: A highly complex film with outstanding actors whose characters are locked up in their company roles, are attracted to each other, bucking, squirm, yet eventually show only very human weaknesses, culminating with Chris in merciless inhuman, consistent action. No peak of pleasure for a relaxed-amusing movie night, but high cinema and storytelling - a highlight of the recent creation by the doyen of manicured, confused, pseudo-intellectual, decadent kriselnden bohemian Beziehungsdramödien (and with relatively little extravagant for the director speech orgy;)
