Beloved Sisters (2014) (Germany)
What makes this film so profound is, its genuine literary
quality (rarely found in period drama films); masterful and artistic portrayal.
Background score haunts soul with its mellow and beauty. This masterpiece gives
rich and profound experience to audience with its intellectual, complex and
poetic tone.
The film is based on the life of the German poet Friedrich
Schiller (1759–1805) and upon his long relationships with two sisters, Caroline
and Charlotte von Lagerfeld. This film will not focus on Schiller's
relationship with Goethe, as some people may expect, since they are such giants
in German literature and history.
There are two cuts of the movie available, shorter cinema
version and the Directors cut. I recommend longer version of 138 mins to
experience true substance of the film.
The film was nominated for the Golden Bear Award at the 64th
Berlin International Film Festival, and had its premiere at the festival. It
was selected as the German entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th
Academy Awards, but was not nominated.
