Movie Reviews of Heimat, Vol. 3: A Chronicle of Endings and Beginnings
Movie Review: The End of The Road in More Ways Than One
Summary: 3 Stars
Well, what did I expect? After the almost 40 hours I've invested in HEIMAT 1 & 2, the only reward that would invigorate me is utter brilliance. Of, course, I'm disappointed. That pedestrian meeting of the two thwarted lovers that opens it; too many scenes that play like sit-com,and also the theme---
our lovers decide to restore a house next to their roots, and to entertain their friends there. Are you already asleep? Here, you can thank the auxiliary characters for pulling the films along--the East German workers who come to rebuild the house, the quarreling Russians, etc. Alas, the family spats and misunderstandings seem much too familiar--they've been covered in countless mediocre films. Only FOLLOW ME echoes the power and glory of the former series, as it concerns the story of a Bosnian teenager and possible heir. Everything else meanders on to its less than inspired conclusion. One of the biggest disappointments was its loss of visual integrity--so much of the footage looked like "business as usual". I got to the end of the road, but both my energy and the film's were left behind in the dust.
Summary of Heimat, Vol. 3: A Chronicle of Endings and Beginnings
The continuation of Edgar Reitz s milestone film epic, HEIMAT 3 takes the story of the Simon Family into the modern era with the same passion and attention to character as the first two series.Hermann and Clarissa, the star-crossed lovers of Heimat II meet in a hotel on the evening of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Caught up in the euphoria over the reunification of their country, the couple reunites as well. They settle in a romantic old house high above the Rhine Valley in the Hunsruck, which draws family and friends from far and wide. The 200-year-old, timber-framed house acts as a hub for the characters, whose stories of love, success, family, and death unfold amidst the uncertainty of the changing times.
A wonderful successor to the previous series, HEIMAT 3 demonstrates Reitz s mastery of the long-form serial.
