This is an astonishing film. It is beautifully crafted by a first time director, Faberbock. Think it will become a classic of German cinema. Great story told so movingly and intelligently. The acting is some of the best I think I have ever seen--the primary as well as all of the supporting actors. Maria Schrader and Juliane Kohler do deserve special recognition and talk about screen chemistry! Maria Schrader's Felice is so right and so penetrating--think the scene where she tells the "girls" goodbye and walks away one of the most moving bits of acting ever. Kohler's Lilly is equally impressive. I think this film deserves a wider audience than it will probably get as it is first rate in every regard. I fail to see how Fassbinder could have added a thing.
