This film felt like a weaker version of the Schweiger/Wokalek movie 'Barfuss'. So yeah, he has not much interest, but of course this changes at some point as they had to include a pretty bizarre love story in here too next to the bizarre crime story. He is more interested in committing a crime (Lola reference) than in going on a date with the girl despite how stunning she is. Can he not just be a good Samaritan without her developing feelings right away. As a consequence, she keeps searching for him and when she has found him, she somewhat confesses her affection for him. I have yet to see a movie where he really wows me, especially as a writer.īut back to this one here: The story is about a nurse who has a serious accident and a stranger saves her life. I am genuinely baffled that he is still considered one of Germany's best filmmakers abroad. I saw that in his newest film, he worked with Tom Hanks (again). 'Start to finish' means a massive 125 minutes here, this film makes it past the 2-hour mark, but it is not even close to having the material for this runtime and sadly, this is true for several Tykwer fans. It is all about Potente's character from start to finish. Not only is it fairly pretentious, but it has Fürmann's character first and he is really just a supporting player. He cannot convince me otherwise here either. In terms of Benno Fürmann, I am a bit biased as he is far from one of my favorite actors and I don't think he is particularly talented. I cannot blame Potente though, I would even say she was better in here than in the overrated 'Lola rennt'. But this strong relationship did not necessarily result in a good movie this time. Tykwer and Potente were still a couple at this point. He made this one 2 years after 'Lola rennt' and once again cast Franka Potente, the rising star of German cinema, as the lead character. 'Der Krieger und die Kaiserin' or 'The Princess and the Warrior' is a German movie from over 15 years ago written and directed by Tom Tykwer.
