Elementary Particles (Elementarteilchen)

[Oenona]

Yesterday I went to the cinema to watch this film and I had a nice surprise. (Actually I expected it was good, but I left the cinema feeling it was even better than good).

 

The story is about 2 stepbrothers who their mother didn't look after during their childhood (she only cared of her affairs). One of them, Michael, is a biologist and is one of those persons who are way too shy and hasn't had any treat with women. The other one, Bruno, is obsessed with sex. And 2 women, appear in the life of these characters... and they've to take a decission.

 

Has anyone seen this film? The story is based on the novel of Michel Houellebecq. Has anyone read it?

 

There're also some great scenes... In fact those scenes were sad but they were so damn sad, even moving, that I wasn't able to stop laughing! :lol:

Val:

yes, because they were quite ridiculous although for the character that was living those scenes were sad (but actually, I think he was "culpable" of his bad luck). Anyway, I wasn't the only one who laughed... there was a couple sitting next to me who was even crying. :lol:

 

Julia:

Oh, really? I didn't know any of these actors beforehand. The only name that I recognized a little bit was Moritz (there is a beer here called "Moritz" :laugh4:, haha, so you see the relation it has with the actor... None. lol)

 

 

Note: don't watch this film if you're quite sensible concerning to the sex scenes.
