A beautiful movie, from the beginning to the end. I loved the way how the two protagonists seemed so opposite in the beginning and how the walls they built around themselves slowly fell. All seemed so natural. The whole film is about conversations on their (unlikely) roadtrip and how the two become closer. The discussions and the theories of life, love and everything reminded me of my own twenties. I wonder how Hans Weingartner managed to have such insights on a younger generation. Anyway - a memorable journey for the viewer, greatly recommended.
This is the film version of the best selling book "Der Atem des Himmels" by Reinhold Bilgeri. A drama about a woman, that flees from her past into a mountain village to find love and encounter a horrible avalanche disaster in Vorarlberg/Austria.
I saw this, when it premiered on the Festspielbühne in Bregenz and I was quite impressed.
Reinhold Bilgeri is an ambitious man and filmmaker. He wouldn t let go of this project, he believed in it. And you can see, that he put his heart (and his family) in it.
From the very first scene the atmosphere of the book was on the screen. The pictures I had in mind when I read the lines were almost identical with what I saw there. Sure, some of the actors were more talented than other but I think this didn't hurt the overall experience. Some of the people in the film were actually from the region and farmers in real life. Whats more believable than that? From technical aspects is "Der Atem des Himmels" comparable to big German productions despite the low-budget. In the film the focus is more on the drama, less on the avalanche. The story's between the people, what Erna von Gaderthurn experiences. "Titanic" in the mountains, with less water and more snow.
I did especially like the performance of Reinholds daughter, Laura Bilgeri. She s an upcoming star for sure.
Overall I think you should give the film a shot and see it. It's the perfect example what man with a vision can achieve. And thats a lot!

I ve just seen "The Return of the Ghostbusters" and I m just in awe. I cant believe this is just a fan film. Its professional in every way! Nice acting, great effects, good storyline. The editing as the gags were on the point. I even liked the one liners! There are tons of good ideas and new features in it to keep the film interesting. For example introducing a new neutrino-pack. Anyone that ever watched one of the previous Ghostbusters-Movies should take at least a look at it. You can feel the love for the material in the movie. I d even pay to see it. Unfortunately I read they wont make another one. Please guys, the world is ready for a return of the return of the ghostbusters. I am for sure! Do us a favor and make another one ... just one more!
