Germany Tom Tykwer

Another winner by the maker of Run Lola Run and The Princess and the Warrior. This time he painstakingly develops three characters as they frab around in their hectic lives, all uneasy and looking for something to give themselves meaning. Through a series of chance encounters, some sexual cheating, a pregnancy and some pain they end up forming a trio.

Will it last? Will they be happy in this arrangement? Who knows...but it's a measure of the success of this film that we end up rooting for them...and their soon-to-be-born twins. The film is a comment on the re-inventing of contemporary life many in the Western world are undergoing. Out with the old...in with the new. Twas ever thus.
