5th viewing - Still hits just as hard and will probably end up being my favorite film of the year, although I will admit it is far from the best. I am so obsessed with the story that Kane chose to go with, it works perfectly with the material and there are so many little details that make this so rewarding to rewatch. Chiwetel just puts it all out there, and delivers an extremely nuanced and powerful performance, while Renate stays steady and calm throughout, providing a relaxing presence in an otherwise chaotic environment. This just does so much with so little, it shouldn’t work, but Kane lets the material do the talking and doesn’t try to make it over the top. Anxiously waiting my blu ray order because this film somehow attracts the worst audiences smh
