At the beginning, I thought I was seeing the American New Wave. That beginning is too special. Is the female version of Easy Rider? But the more you go, the more traditional from the camera to the plot.
The film returns from the halfway point, the composition and tonal characteristics remain the same. The camera will stop on a composition, and the actors will also stop for a while, maintaining that expressive composition, and then continue with the next scene. The exterior tone has always been that eerie, eerie Martian color, but it no longer changes suddenly like it started.
The second half of the plot has also become inspirational, positive, sunny... I feel a little coping with it.
In the beginning, what does the shadow of the camera on the ground when the German woman walks alone? A salute to the new wave? It's a bit deliberate...don't like it

    Is this a spiritual sister to Paris, Texas? Abandoned German women come to the small town of Baghdad near the casino, and have a healing relationship with the restless black female family who runs a motel-of course this is a German director's film, German women heal blacks like angels A family, and later obtained the symbolic means of making a living by magic, and also displayed the scenery of the lower Bavarian home. The vision of the movie is strong, with various oblique shots in the opening, the red and yellow color palette runs through the whole film, and the empty mirrors such as the water tower are very beautiful, but there are several empty mirrors rendered in all red at the back that have nothing to do with the characters' mood and experience. I don't know what it means. The script weaving is not very good. There are many scenes of backpackers playing boomerangs and other unrelated plots in the middle, but the characters of the backpackers and other guests are always just passersby. To say that these scenes are equivalent to emotional scenes will not help the film rhythm (rhythm) Always Peaceful), it might be more decorative than making a boomerang scene. The focus of the magic scene is too fairy tale, and the crowd naively praised them. This scene has no sense of reality, and it also weakens the power of the theme.

    It's a pity that the fantasy color has turned into a warm comedy, which should be called "The Adventures of the German Fat Aunt Magician". At first it was fine to win all my friends with my charisma, but I couldn't make it any longer, so I had to talk about magic and won the welcome of everyone in the place. The tone is very warm, so it won the praise of the audience.
