Beweggründe

Kann ein Film, der sehr gut besetzt ist, stark gespielt und wunderschön gemacht, einen trotzdem kalt lassen? Ist es möglich, technisch alles richtig zu machen und doch nicht das Gefühl anzusprechen? Kann man Erfahrungen vorführen, ohne sie zu teilen? Bei The Danish girl ist dieser vermeintliche Widerspruch passiert. The Danish Girl erzählt die Geschichte eines Künstleris, Einar Wegener (Eddie Redmayne), der sich später in Lili Elbe verwandelt. Alles geschah etwas vor hundert Jahren.

Oscar bait movies like this really makes my skin crawl, because this movie literally ticks off …
