Audience Member This film was badly slated by the Guardian in the UK, quite unfairly in my opinion. It is an authentic and inspired attempt to illustrate some of the mentalities at large in Western Europe at the end of the cold war. The confinement, the fear and the absurdity of every day life, and the response of individuals and groups to this climate. Baader Meinhoff are not mentioned, but anyone who was awake at the time will recognise their desperate and spontaneous call to "freedom". This is also a film with an enormous sense of humour, and in my view was head and shoulders above the average cinema release of the time. Definitely worth watching more than once if you can find it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A wonderfully weird tale that works on just about every level with insatiably daring performances from its stunning three leads. The alienated central characters aren't the sort that many will be able to relate to, but 'Children of the Stork' is more voyeuristic than it is involving. Stylishly directed and edited, this bizarre film never bores. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
