Bergfest (2008)
Unforgettable
I saw Bergfest on a film festival in Prague almost one year ago. But I still think about the film from time to time. Maybe that's because of my own relationship to my father, which is not bad but I wonder if he's so different from the father in the film. The four actors are great and so absolutely convincing that I can't imagine they played anything but themselves. The characters are smart and their arrangement discloses some interesting correlations. It made me think about my own 'inner odds' and the question, where they come from and if there's a way to overcome. I can't remember a film that was going so deep, I even think it raises some of the most important questions of our soul or psyche – which are normally dealt with very superficially. I hope very much this film will influence and inspire many film makers to make some more films of such intimate power.
