Die Wand (2012)
Freedom that cannot be lived.
(spoiler alert - dont read if you want to watch) wow, what a weird movie. Just a woman alone with animals, mysteriously locked in a mountain pasture and hunters hut (she lives partly here and there). Firstly she is worried about being locked within this wall of glass but then goes along her day and care for food and animals and forgets about it. Writes a diary and lives on. Between reflection and depression and hardship and tough work she plods along. Suddenly a man appears kills her cow (which had a young calf born earlier) and her beloved dog. She kills the man with one of here hunters rifles. Now she is even more alone and even the paper is running out. So no more diary. The movie or more her thoughts flip between the time before and after the tragic event. End of movie.
Seeing here working between this stunning landscape you'd wonder why does she even care about this wall, as she has/had all she needs in this amazing nature, even when its hard to go about daily care. Sill the idea of not being free can hunt you down, wear you off. Loosing a friend/partner is then a tough one. I liked it.
Martina Gedeck was fabulous, as usual, a treasure - love it.
