Hanna Flanders

I thought this movie was HILARIOUS! Yes, hilarious... not moving, not engaging, just comic in its cheap sleaziness! This is nothing but a pretentious pseudo-artistic film that tries to explore everything but adds up to zero. Everything about it suggests that this should be a some kind of modern film noir, but what it actually is -is a soap opera in black and white. The main character is a grotesque woman feeling sorry for herself (the reason is exploited on a very shallow basis), lacks any trace of development and abides in pointlessness and pathos. Did anybody give it a thought WHAT she actually was doing in Berlin? Here's the answer: She slept there 2 nights doing absolutely nothing, except for smoking and taking pills. Wasn't the goal to revive her career? The movie's aims are way too high. It tries to depict Hanna as a person, woman, artist, mother, daughter, lover, politician... but as there's not enough time (or ambition) to evolve that, the movie wastes itself. Oh, and the "love scene" with her ex is just repulsing! I laughed seeing the first scene, seeing her smoking two cigarettes simultaneously - that was so ridiculous so the tragedy just passed by, and I laughed at the silly ending... Die Unberührbare (The Untouchable) - I don't think so...
