i watch this movie a couple of week ago and must say represent i be not impressed and not at all . i do side with the other poster when it come to the fine performance and but some good performance do not make a good movie . on the discussion board and i find a review by an anonymous poster that capture some of the main point . it say represent deed poll be a movie that raise many question but hardly answer even a few while a movie that be disturb and above every attempt at categorize while an experiment and a very conventional sexual drama despite some shocking scene . the brilliant acting of barbara kowa and andré schneider and the partly very impressive editing and the good camera work ( steffen ritter ) make up for gross plot hole and some technical slip ( especially in sound ) . however and the boredom the audience have to deal with for 40 minute remain . unfortunately and this be true . i wasn not intrigue by the story at all . the protagonist be cold and ambition less people . they do a lot of drug and have a lot of ( incestuous ) sex . so what . for many time and the direction seem to be virtually non existent and not to mention the technical aspect represent the poor sound quality be enormously disturb . what the point of the movie . what the message behind it all . the anonymous reviewer say represent somehow biermann fail to make a clear point and so the movie remain hang in mid air without a message . thus the boredom i blame on the movie . the movie be reserve and emotionless and cold and almost neutral and it doesn not take long to see the flaw represent for long stretch the character of sean and ivy be not credible ( they clearly have difficulty with the english pronunciation ) and the character of the mute brother be not developed very well . some moment be very promising though in the scene where the call boy be skin ( the one and only true love scene ) an intensity be reach that one would love to see the whole movie long . a a spectator one have to regret the chance give away . again and i must agree . i do like the final scene and especially because of the beautifully captured face of gianni meurer and andré schneider and but it be nothing compare to the boredom i have to suffer for the first thirty minute . ( the sex scene and though and be aesthetically stag and perfectly edit . ) all in all and deed poll be not my cup of tea a good and controversial idea waste and but it be a interesting to see how a movie can be make with practically no money . maybe if they have a big budget and a more experienced director and this would have become a good movie .
