When the film begins, it is all over. “We know it’s terminal, and that’s all”, says Juliane of her mother Kerstin, who is in great pain and about to die aged just 64. Although the young doctor she consults acknowledges on a personal level that everyone has the right to manage their own death, he nonetheless reminds her that euthanasia is still illegal in Germany. This is even more the case at the Catholic hospice where Kerstin is staying. As relatives come to say goodbye to her mother and the emotions of memories mingle with the anticipation of grief, Juliane finds herself having to do battle with time – unbending, apathetic and monochrome – and this is superbly reflected in the convulsions of the handheld camera in wide shots.
Based on personal experience, Jessica Krummacher’s second feature film vividly relates the painful story of losing a parent. There is no violence or morbidity, rather the director describes the most important of events via the smallest, most fragile of details – the exchanging of words, texts and tender gestures that remain with us and get under our skin.
#柏林影展 #奇遇單元 #EFM 僅管面對「死亡」的面貌不同,不過在觀賞Jessica Krummacher致我母親的死亡時,直覺想起了Ozon去年的天堂計畫,以及Jacqueline LENTZOU的再見父親。當生命行至最後一段旅程,那些備受呵護、慈悲與溫柔的對待,對照子女的焦慮、迷惘與最後的清醒,將一幕幕日常的風景拼湊出一幅頑強的生命之詩。致我母親的死不帶任何矯情與造作,即使到了終幕,導演仍埋入DJ Hell的電子音樂作為Ending,不讓死亡變成了一種儀式。
这种经历还无法共情,但人家拍等死本身这件事情都已经拍得很煎熬了,观影本身已非常痛苦,用难看这个词形容不准确,因为人家就是想表达痛苦吧。
为题材打开,失望而归
now the pain will stop. 拍的很真实,像看纪录片,就感觉很残酷。
有点冗长。3.5
