The broken circle (2012)

Also Known As: The broken circle breakdown
Year of first release: 2012
Director: Felix van Groeningen
Actors: Veerle Baetens, Johan Heldenbergh
Country: NL
Genre: Drama
Conditions of visioning: 25.03.2013, Schauburg, OV
Synopsis: Elise and Didier fall in love at first sight, in spite of their differences. He talks, she listens. He's a romantic atheist, she's a religious realist. When their daughter becomes seriously ill, their love is put on trial.
Review: The movie has a very good music, even if I am not a fan of this bluegrass/country stuff. This shows and enhances passion, rythm, love. The passion that rises in the couple is beautiful to watch, even if they do not speak much. The love to their daughter is shown actually as a secondary story, and therefore I did not feel involved in the illness of the daughter but more in the fall of this relationship. The music and the concerts have actually such a big role in the movie, that the rest appears secondary as well.
Rating: 6 /10
