Movie Reviews of Liebestraum
Movie Review: A great plot idea succumbs to misguided "art"....
Summary: 2 Stars
Yet another film that could have been wonderful but staggers and finally succumbs under the weight of artsy film ambitions. Spoiler: the film's premise of a 30+ year old murder/suicide revisited in a haunting fashion by people connected to it a generation later could have made for a truly compelling story - there are hints of reincarnation and the possibility of changing fate or the danger of reinacting it a second time around.
Characters return, converging to the site of the crime: the Ralston Department Store, now closed and being torn down. Unfortunately, the movie plods along much too slowly. Clues are too slow in coming and too abstractly cloaked in artsy film making. It isn't until the last 20 minutes that things begin to fall into place; The matter of the lone survivor of the crime leaves a problematic element if one accepts the premise of possible reincarnation - maybe transmigration of a soul was intended?
Strangely, the film does pull you to it after you've watched it once and understand what it was trying for. The problem is the lack of action and plodding pace can't hold the attention long enough for most to want to watch it through to the end the first time around.....
