Locarno International Film Festival In Competition
The impact on his friends and family of a man's five-year disappearance forms the basis of Florian Hoffmeister's absorbing drama 3 Degrees Colder, but his screenplay with Mona King could have used more development to make the most of the theme.
Well crafted and acted, the film will draw audiences to its Big Chill-like atmosphere but they may be disappointed by the lack of genuine depth.
On a trip to Spain, Jan Sebastian Blomberg) goes missing and when his friends Frank (Johann von Bulow) and Steini (Alexander Beyer), and his lover Marie (Bibiana Beglau), exhaust any means of finding him, they return to Germany. Frank, however, has spotted Jan alone on the beach but does not reveal this to the others.
Jan stays away for five years and meanwhile Frank and Marie have married, and so has the philandering Steini to the oft-pregnant Jenny (Meret Becker). Jan's brother Olli Florian David Fitz) has met a lovely young musician named Babette (Katharina Schuttler) while his mother (Grischa Huber) pines for her oldest son and endures a distant relationship with their lawyer father (Hubert Mulzer).
Marie also pines for Jan and writes emotional letters to him that she never tries to send. When Frank finds one, however, he decides to mail it to Jan via his family and that is what finally brings Jan home.
Frank's motive in sending the letter and Marie's response to seeing the lover she has yearned for provide rich fodder for an examination of love and loving, but the film fails to go much beneath the surface. All the players do good work with Von Bulow and Beglau especially strong and Fitz and Schuttler very appealing in support.
The film relies greatly on its music to provide emotional resonance and it's a good thing the beautiful score for strings composed by Adrian Corker and Paul Conboy is more than up to it.
