Mostly Martha (2001)
7/10
A German comedy made with charming and tender humour
24 February 2003
I'd liked a lot of this German comedy. Sincerely, I wasn't expect much of this picture, because I didn't known the director Sandra Nettelbeck. It's a kind of pop movie of high human and dramatic level. The characters are well designed and well acted by an unknown and professional cast. Well, Castellitto was knowed for some Italian films, but the German cast, I think, are not known in Brazil. People, intellectual or not, love people like us, who suffers, try to grow up, changing for better. Every viewer, man or female, identifies with Martha, her difficulties with feelings and general relationship. The story aren't much original, but the way that the director treated yes, with a charming and tender humour. The contrast between German and Italian cultures gives the fundamental basis for our pleasure in to watch this delicious and delicate movie,that I recommend for everybody who loves good and selected pictures.Welcome,Sandra, to the field of the good female German directors, like Doris Dorrie, for example.
