Audience Member Visually stunning but indecisive in its narration. The film never really reaches its peak. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member although a a little uneven at times, this is a very unique and hypnotic film Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing, extraordinary, unforgettable. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member "Schlafes Bruder" is one of my most favourite novels and the movie is just as amazing. The actors are intense! It is about Elias, born in a mountain village in the 19th century, which were pretty much isolated from the outside world (hence the inbreed-problem depicted here). Born into this miserable life it is only the singsong of the midwife that convinces him to breathe and live. Although musical education is completely absent there he soon turns out to be a musical genius and is experiencing a painfull transformation which improves his sense of hearing even more. But he's neither given the chance to tap his full potential nor marry his love Elsbeth much due to the misanthropic environment he was born into. Believing that someone who loves must not sleep he dies of sleep deprivation and the consequences of usage of natural drugs such as fly agaric, because he hoped they would keep him awake. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Great looking German film, with lovely touches (open incest, WONDERFUL organ music, the set design) and a confused plotline.
