Director: Mike Figgis
Genres: Mystery
Rating:
Liebestraum is a moody, stylish suspense thriller written and directed by British director Mike_Figgis. Nick (Kevin_Anderson) is an architectural writer who goes home to be with his dying mother, Mrs. Anderssen (Kim_Novak) from whom he was separated as a baby. There he meets an old friend and has an affair with the friend's wife, who was herself adopted after her mother went insane. Through a series of coincidences and a good deal of investigation Nick learns some terrible truths concerning everyone. The film, while beautiful to look at, and with a wonderful score composed by Figgis, is more interested in style and emotion rather than cogent explanations for the actions of the characters, however, taken for what it is, a mood piece, Liebestraum succeeds beautifully. Figgis has beautiful technique and is greatly aided by Juan Ruiz-Anchia's stark and evocative images. Linda Rasmussen, Rovi
