HALF A LIFE
In Nikolaus Leytner’s Half a Life, alongside a clear television character, far more complex moral issues concerning anger, resentment, deep sorrow and, last but not least, a heartbreaking sense of guilt are raised.
Actor: Alois Frank
ORDINARY CREATURES
With an extremely essential mise-en-scène, Thomas Marschall has perfectly succeeded in giving his Ordinary Creatures a surreal and highly alienating character, thanks to figures that are now inexplicably mute and so inexpressive as to seem almost unfriendly, up to scenes with a strong dreamlike atmosphere.
