Brombeerchen 2002
1h 31min | Drama | 25 January 2002 (Germany)

Critic:

André alias Blackberry and Lilian want to keep any kind of bitterness out of their lives. The pretty German couple at the beginning of the twentieth is then in any case still on the road to Spain and is hoping to experience the great adventure and above all “what is real”. “Blackberry” takes a lot of imagination with a generic specific subject, which is best captured by Felix von Muralt’s mischievous images. Nevertheless, the impression remains that this story lacks something fundamental. Or maybe you are not afraid to turn emptiness into the central theme. (google translated)
