Heaven (2002)
Country: GER/US/FR
Technical: col 97m
Director: Tom Tykwer
Cast: Cate Blanchett, Giovanni Ribisi, Remo Girone
Synopsis:
An English teacher in Italy fails in her attempt to blow up a doctor/drug-dealer but is rescued from the carabinieri by a young love-smitten officer who acts as interpreter.
Review:
A posthumous dip into the overdetermined world of Kieslowski, with some of Tykwer's own traits thrown in. It is very much cinema as dreamworld, full of anxiety, dread and desire; suspenseful situations are built up around the bomb and the escape but the film puts realism on hold when it just wants to be lyrical or make a grand visual gesture.
