| Yella (Nina Hoss) trailed by her lout of a husband Ben (Schönemann). |
Simply put, and in lieu of a full review; "Yella" might not be the most uniquely proposed or sunniest of films out there, but there is no doubt that it's an engaging little existential drama. Simone Bär's screenplay incorporates a strong mixture of contemplation and intuition to support its plot and thoroughly convince audiences, even in reflection. That being said, this film has drawn comparisons to several earlier films — none more than a certain 1962 film. I believe it stands up well and can be considered a genuine effort.
First film for me from Germany-centric director Christian Petzold. Recommended.
