Whispering Moon (Das Flüstern des Mondes)

Publicerat av lucas4you den juli 24, 2008

Is this a film made by a highschool beginners class or is it a modern masterpiece, or is it simply something there in between? You´ll make your own judgment after you´ve seen it! Two boyfriends, the handsome and mute Patrick, and the young and also rather cute Jannis, get themselves involved in a ”poison-frog-murder-story”. The plot is sometimes really confusing, and it´s not easy to follow all its leads throughout the movie. At the same time, comparing to other films about troubled youth, this is in my opinion a fresh non-pretentious way of telling a sweet story about love and compassion between two young males. There is more of full nudity and (faked?) sex scenes than in many other similar films. 23-year-old Julian Stampfer and  Dominik Hartel do great acting performances and are also looking sweet together. As a gay or coming-of-age film its a little hard for everyone to like a guess, due mostly to the somewhat unusal manuscript, but at least there is clearly more action here than in for example ”Glue” to name another similar movie.
