This is a movie about a girl that is obviously mentally disturbed in a manner that made it impossible for me to relate to her.
Most of the scenes seem to be forced by the author and don´t give you the feeling of watching a real chain of events, but something an author made up, especially the relation between the Charlotte and her rival-poet Sylvie.
Charlottes life is a mess and it stays a mess. I waited for some revelation, for some transformation of Charlottes character, for some insight that she reveals in the ONE great poem she wants to right, but it doesn´t happen. (something like: "you can buy this, you can buy that, but your body will rott , anyway." Insights on the intellectual level of a 15 year old.) Even killing the wife of her lover by accident does not effect her.
In the end she gets away with everything and stays the same disturbed person, you cannot relate to.
What does the film teach me?
1. Berlin is a rough city full of synthetic drugs (which is right).
2. There are a lot of mentally damaged people who need treatment. Nothing new.
3. There are a lot of mediocre writers, directors and actors who should do better.
