L'Amour du Monde - Sehnsucht nach der Welt

At first glance a perfect tender summer film unfortunately falls flat in its second half. "L'Amour du Monde" doesn't trouble itself with too much explanation at the beginning and instead lets us discover the protagonists' back-stories on our own throughout the duration of the film. Another thing that I would compliment is its beutiful cinematography that perfectly captures sunlight glittering on the water surface, soft tree shades in nearby forests and overall summer atmosphere. On the other hand I wish the story let us more into the characters minds and feelings, beacuse in my opinion all of them were kind of one-sided, superficial and blurry. The main theme that connected the three protagonists - loss of their mothers - was pleasing, but it got a bit lost in the narrative (untill the very end, when we were reminded of it again). Overall I don't think it was a bad film, just not exceptional enough.

I totally agree with the review who rated this film 1 out of 10.

It's impossible to get interested in these unidimensional, unsympathetic, shallow characters and their empty lives.

The main character, a a sour-faced, bored-looking teenager named Margaux, sulks and pouts from one end of this film to the other, showing no interest in anything and making no effort to rise out of her mediocrity and vacuity. I just wanted to slap her silly for the entire duration of this pathetic film.

As for the little orphan girl, instead of feeling sorry for her I wanted to slap her silly and pack her off to a very harsh reform school. All she does is utter a never-ending stream of French obscenities and vulgarities, and she's only 6. She talks like a streetwalker and it'spretty obvious that that's what life has in store for her, becoming a low-class streetwalker I mean.

There is really no plot, nothing happens, and boy, does nothing happen sloooooowly in this film, so what is there to spoil ? Absolutely nothing. Watching your washing machine turn round and round is more exciting than this film. Run, don't walk, away from this film as fast as you possibly can !

This film was one of the most boring movies ive ever laid my eyes upon. The main character is bland as hell and you get absolutely no intake on what shes thinking or feeling, she remains neutral the entire film and i literally dont know anything about her.

The scenes are terribly shot and scenes are very abrupt and meaningless and i wish i didnt waste my precious time on this .

Theres literally 0 plot and theres nothing interesting going on, the entire film revolves around her meeting these two people and she barely even talks to them

theres no moral or lesson nothing.

We learned her name like 15 minutes before the film ended because it was so uninteresting and nobody was paying attention, and we qll clapped with joy when it was done so we could leave the cinema.

Other recommendations besides watching this film: watching paint dry talking to the wall

pls its so boring i cant even give spoilers cuz nothing happened.
