Lore (2012)
4/10
Extraordinary and very disappointing at the same time
20 September 2013
What a terrible waste...

Saskia Rosendahl 10 out of 10; Cinematography by Adam Arkapaw 10 out of 10

They both will win Oscars one day, I bet! ;-)

BUT

"Story" 1 out of 10

Character development 1 out of 10

The film moves slowly (which I like) and is beautifully shot.

The love-hate relationship between the main characters could have made a great story but is completely wasted. Most of the time you are left wondering why (on earth) the character would behave like this in this particular situation.

The inner struggle and conflicting emotions of Lore regarding the Nazis and her parents role in the system are boiled down to three short scenes (without spoken words) and could have been a great story as well...
