The film has a charming aura. It finds a delicate balance between timelessness and tiredness. With trivial and fulfilling details, it outlines a huge blank in life and becomes a microcosm of destiny in modern industry. The film is not just a love movie, the picture it depicts has never left the supermarket and the apartment, but silently swept the group portraits in the standard life. The German director's attention to the camera lens is vivid and vivid in this film. Each frame can be taken out and frozen into a film by itself
.
While not strictly a comedy, it's surprisingly witty and humorous. The Germans use light weights to express the heaviness of life. In this regard, the film and "Tony Erdman" can be regarded as having the same goal. The director accurately shows the lives and fates of the little people, their loneliness, love and friendship, without the hysterical struggle and accusation
.
An understated and captivating piece between romanticism and realism, the film is full of warm insight and deep sympathy for its repressed protagonists. The film generally restores the essence of the original novel. Still, the plot of the movie feels a little exaggerated and the drama isn't very strong. Still, the film's team has a lot to appreciate. The overall visual style of the film favors dark, gray tones, and the director and cinematographer make full use of the amazing symmetrical geometry in the supermarket to compose the shot, creating a pretty impressive visual impact
