Oh Boy (2012)
NY could learn a lot from The Berlin school.
21 September 2013 - 35 out of 45 users found this review helpful.
Whilst the nouvelle vague phenomenon continues in NY, it's seems Berlin, and Jan Ole Gerster actually has something to say.
At times comedic, at times serious, the writing is wonderfully wry and reminiscent of Woody Allen's darker moments. The tension between the black comedy and the underlying backdrop of Berlin's inescapable history is a knife edge Jan treads with the delicacy of a master.
Berlin looks fantastic in black and white, and the effortlessly understated cinematography and precise editing mean this film deserves all the hype that Frances Ha is getting and more.
Refreshing, and fresh this is an incredibly accomplished thesis film. And trust me, you can live without the trailer.
