Nouvelle Vague gehört dazu.

Nur bei Sweet & Tender Hooligan oder Dance With Me kommt die ironisch-melancholische Qualität der New Wave- und Punk-Cover rüber. Der Rest geht unter in eher peinlichem Showgehabe und Publikumsanimation, begleitet vom immergleichen lauten dumpfen Soundteppich. Und was macht der stimmdefizitäre aber umso hyperaktive Reggae-Kollege im Gepäck? Man weiss es nicht und sucht frühzeitig das Weite.

Deshalb: Weiter brav MP3s hören (oder YouTube-Videos gucken, da ist der Sound auch nicht schlechter als live).

The reality of Amin's "unpredictable" streak is deliberately kept at arm's length for a long time, the violence simmering off-screen. It eventually explodes in a single moment of utter cruelty - the dismemberment of one of Amin's wives. It's a terrible image, an atrocity exhibition that hints at the far greater, genocidal horrors we know are underway.

The film doesn't show these, but it doesn't need to. We've already followed Garrigan's path, beguiled by Whitaker's Amin then left to recoil in horror as we see his true nature. We're just as complicit, just as guilty. It's a timely warning about the morality of meddling in other countries' affairs, a thriller with a sting in its tail.

Immaculately executed as a shattering family portrait though packaged with little more flair than your average daytime soap import, one would be forgiven for discounting After The Wedding as a cinematic event not worth a single trip to the Cineplex, let alone a second look. Yet moments into its closing credits, and not only has it reversed its ill-suited premise, but confounded even the most sneering expectations with an emotional posture so honestly self-controlled, it’s hard to find any faults.

Thorny with an edge, and almost gut-wrenchingly affecting, Susanne Bier’s After The Wedding propels the viewer on an impassioned rollercoaster ride that doesn’t quite ease off until the dramatic denouement. Biers is only too aware of the level of emotional investment required by the viewers, but the payoff, in the form of plot schock shoot outs a la Pulp Fiction, is only too satisfying to dismiss. Though far more Breaking Waves than Wild Things in its tenor, this cinematic weep-fest scores big on every level.

At the centre of the movie is Jacob Petersen, an idealistic humanitarian working in a struggling orphanage in a poor community in India. When the offer a large sum of money in the form of a free-standing grant to aid the failing orphanage requires him to travel to his native Denmark for a face-to-face meeting with a wealthy billionaire, he is only too reluctant to take up the offer, what with his disdain of western society and unwillingness to part with the children he’s grown fond of, if only for a short while. The business trip soon spirals into an unexpected labyrinthine adventure replete with family revelations and personal struggles that has Jacob questioning devastatingly more than just his business options.

In much the same vein as Thomas Vinterberg’s acclaimed Dogme drama Festen (The Celebration), After The Wedding is a devastating emotional elegy on shattering family relationships, moral failings and human frailty. Working again with screenwriter Anders Thomas Jensen, whom Biers previously collaborated on 2004’s acclaimed Brothers, the duo’s masterful hands at exposing distorted relationship dynamics and muddy moral dilemmas are once again working to their full potential. In After The Wedding, Biers once again excels in peeling back those delicate layers of human frailty that reveal worlds of repression, anguish and personal secrets.

Bone-dry realism, a shaky camera approach and effective toned down performances clutched by a gutsy script effect an acutely biting family relationship drama that deconstructs itself with every scene. Though not a Dogme movie per se, in navigating the undercurrents of deceit, hypochrisy and trust, After The Wedding recalls the days when Dogme wasn’t just the token arthouse format of choice, but a credble word in serious film circles in its own right.

Winner of the Best Director prize at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, the film is the third in the director’s trilogy started by Amores Perros and 21 Grams.

Shot in Morocco, Tijuana, and Tokyo, and involving a multilingual cast lead by Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Gael García Bernal, and Koji Yakusho, as well non-professional actors from the three countries portrayed, Babel continues the director’s quest to explore the effects of loss and grief, and seeks to relate the modern implications of ancient myth on the origins of human inability to successfully communicate.
