There was no kiss, but I could call 'Barefoot' one of the most marvellous movies I have ever seen.
I've always known Til Schweiger has impressive good looks and charm, but I had no idea about his talent of directing. 'Barefoot' is a strange love story about a careless bachelor, who cannot find his place under the sun, and a young naive mental patient, who wants to get out of life or at least hospital.
Actors are absolutely perfect. It's a great pleasure to watch a movie with professionals. Til Schweiger who stars as Nick Keller looks gorgeous when he has to look gorgeous, behaves like an asshole when he has to behave so and is a little bit pathetic when he has to be. Johanna Wokalek who stars as Leila made not such a good impression in the beginning, because she pretends to be not so good-looking, but subsequently every viewer falls in love with her. She's charming exactly because of her specific features. Other actors are very convincing too, except Stefanie Stappenbeck, because her character was unnecessary.
In addition, dialogues and soundtrack are just incredible. You can find a meaningful sense in every move, every word, every note.
Nevertheless, the whole complex is just what charms so much. Everything is in its own place. There are many scenes which make you laugh and cry and muse. I gave ten points for this movie, so I hope everyone will go and watch 'Barefoot', because it's one of those rare films, which are worthy of our precious time.
