Review by
Director: Markus Schleinzer
Synopsis
The film follows the last five months of Wolfgang (10) and 35-year-old Michael’s “involuntary life” together.
Die film volg die afgelope vyf maande van Wolfgang (10) en die 35-jarige Michael se “onwillekeurige lewe” saam.
Our Verdict
This is not a funny or uplifting film. In fact it’s pretty sombre – about a paeophile who keeps a young boy locked up in a cellar. The film has been made meaningfully…but it doesn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know.
Dit is nie ‘n snaakse of opheffing van film. In werklikheid is dit redelik somber – oor ‘n paeophile wat ‘n jong seun in ‘n kelder opgesluit hou. Die film is betekenisvol gemaak … maar dit beteken nie, vertel ons iets het ons nog nie weet nie.
