- Eden (Germany,
2007)
Josef Ostendorf, Charlotte Roche, Devid Striesow.
Director: Michael Hoffman.
One of Germany's bravest filmmakers does it once again. "Eden"
is a film with a cast, with a camera, with a sound like never
before. Wee see a very fat genius of a cook and a quite lonesome
mother. She falls in love with the cook's... art.
A tricky relationship, intensely captured with a lot of close
ups, painful, funny, it celebrates the beauty of life in a way
you won't expect. Eden won the Audience
Award at the 2006 Rotterdam Film Festival.
Original Version (German) with English subtitles.

by a club owner who's soon murdered, coached by a musician who
brings her to concert halls, then quickly famous. Constant companions
are alcohol and heartache. The tragedies of her love affair with
Marcel Cerdan and the death of her only child belie the words
of one of her signature songs, "Non, je ne regrette rien."
