Movie: Stillleben (Sebastian Meise, Austria, 2011, 77 min.) 
Date: Jan 26, 2012
Rating: 
(clichéd but true: the film had a lot of intense potential, but overall it didn’t deliver)
Plot: A family deals with the discovery of the husband/father having thoroughly unhealthy feelings about his daughter.
Cast: Nothing special, well, except the father character, I guess..
Visuals: Nothing special
Conclusion: How do you deal with a man who lusts after his daughter? How do you deal with him as a wife, a son and of course, as the daughter?
I expected some very deeply disturbing moments in the movie, but that never really happened. Actually, a lot of stuff happening in the movie is about people leaving angrily and then coming back in silence; people making final decisions and then not following through. I like the fact that the father character tried to pay for his sins, but I’d preferred it if he just got hit by an empty school bus or something.
So, not really that intense.
