A normal cinema family drama? Not at all, although in the “two of us”, as the Film in Germany is, first of all, everything is happening, as you would expect. Madeleine is not a coward, your children to come clean, but he’s scared to disappoint Nina. Then a complication, which should make it unavoidably comes to lay the cards on the table: Madeleine suffers a stroke and is deprived of the care case, the language and their freedom of movement. Desperate Nina seeks comfort her, but the children involved with the mother a full-time supervisor. As Nina has to sneak into the neighboring apartment, which you used previously as your own, this could also form the basis for a Comedy. Or a tragedy.

As Meneghetti in a movie, would it play easy to win with a melancholic feeling of nature is a Mature female audience – currently the most lucrative audience segment in the Arthouse-cinemas – for themselves, instead, with the conventions of a genre that is generally considered to be less attractive to women, of the horror film, this is a sovereignty that would be more of a champion of cinema suspect. Earlier, Antonioni has worked with such aesthetic Cross-Overs. “Blow-Up” and “Zabriskie Point” are chimeric.
