Mostly Martha
After all that is been said, I can only add one more positive review. What I like about this movie is that I can see a more modern look at Germany today, an image different from the usual macabre-war-related made by hollywwod. This movie has a human touch and an open heart.

Subtle directing, sublime acting and soundrack,
I'd like to add to what others have said about this film that (a) the acting is wonderful (especially Martina Gedeck as Martha and Maxime Foerste as Lina) and (b) the soundtrack is absolutely sublime.

In fact, the reason I bought the DVD was that reportedly there was quite a lot of Keith Jarrett on the soundtrack, and there is, to great effect. Material from the Norwegian Quartet, the Bregenz solo concert and the trio albums Tribute and Standards Volume 2 is all used, and it combines with the film quite beautifully.

But in the end, it wasn't just the soundtrack that entranced me, but the whole film. And anyone who buys into the absurd stereotype of the lack of German humour should see this to realise how wrong they are.

WOnderful!
