A fast, unique piece playing with time-lines with a so-so cast of performers. The beautiful waif Franke Potente plays the title "character" in a mixture of strange European style anime and futuro post-modern feminist dress-code (which is totally unique, odd.) The "repeated" story has holes, and undoubtly the style is different which makes for some, maybe, a bit difficult to digest. And it is VERY European, noticeably so.
For a German film, the budget must have been stretched, probably the greatest production costs of any German film, for while, if not ever. The mix of a brilliantly fast and intense euro-techno soundtrack and fast pacey shooting make for "beautiful" film... exciting as well. The script is on the edge and very intriguing, I only wish I could have understood the German better then relying on subtitles for the half the film.
A highly energetic modern piece, that sets itself high above the movie-machine celluloid pieces from the US. Definately a high score with 8/10.
