Description: Brauth and Katze is not quite real people – even if they once were them. They are angels who devote to pain and death new adherents. Next to them, the two girls, Melanie and Bianca who met strangers in a noisy carnival and went with them into the unknown. In an abandoned house the company joins a strange itinerant violinist and painter Heinrich and his muse (haggard suffering cripple Clarissa). All of them, except for the young heroines know very well what pain and death are, admire and live by them. Even if you have to accept suffering against their will (like the unhappy Clarissa). Now know the bliss of torment to be beginners. One of the girls will take new faith and will be among the favorites, and the other left to rot in the ground – because not everyone can be an angel … It will have to cease to be a man.
Review: “Melancholie der Engel” – a long, stringy and sticky spit in the face of public morality, a cynical mockery of all the written and unwritten rules and regulations, conceptual litany of death and pain, the inversion of good and evil, anti-Christian manifesto, philosophical ode to violence … and so on, and the like. Speak in the spirit of highbrow critics that the film “kontroversiven” and “controversial” – means of confusing. Marian Dora anyone is going to argue, religious or political discussions are not satisfied and the vindication of his view of the world does not show. He simply and categorically sends this very world to hell, because it is nothing else, according to the director, does not deserve.
The only purpose of life – it is death. The only sense in life – it is a pain. The only thing that separates man from beast – is the ability to enjoy the pain. That’s it! Two and a half hours, which lasts a film devoted to visual and poetic images of these maxims. Two and a half hours on the screen reign pain and death in the most aestheticized form. Two and a half hours, Marian Dora paints a picture of dead and dying flesh, decay and decomposition. Two and a half hours the camera catches a moment of death, that person gives his brothers and less like themselves: those who do not know how to appreciate a second care, who can not understand and accept the philosophy of suffering. Worms, newts, frogs, rabbits, cats die before admiring torment creatures camera that tries in vain to catch the mystery of transition – and powerless retreats, because with all the beauty of the death of the animals in it no higher meaning and supreme beauty. The very beauty that the heroes of “Melancholie der Engel” see on the parade ground of Buchenwald. There, and only there, where the interrupted lives of thousands of people triumph of art!
