I love Mads Mikkelsen and I love historical stuff, I even love Heinrich von Kleist; we have read this book ages ago at school.
But it seems like everything went wrong here.
The novel hasn't been that present for me. Was ist the plan to produce a movie for folks who read it? My partner and I, being not that dump, weren't able to to follow the plot. The cuts were harsh, time passing wasn't clear at all. And most of the why's what's and how's were unanswered during the movie.
The end is clear then right, nothing to mess up such a thing. 😁
But somehow... I don't know. Just like Mr. Arnaud des Pallieres tried to be super arty for the sake of it. It was unnecessary really.
A great Mads Mikkelsen and a beautiful scenery makes this one a three star movie.
But nothing you need to see...
