When I saw this film in the cinema two years ago, I gave it the benefit of the
doubt. I didn't completely understand what was happening, so I thought I would
be able to judge it better after watching it again. Today I finally returned
to the film, and I understand most of what happened. The after-credits scene
still puzzles me. Now that I understand the film, I have to say that I don't
like it. There are a lot of good ideas, but that's the problem: there are too
many ideas thrown together. There's no reason to include the news reports of
the Baader Meinhof Gang and the hijacked plane in Mogadishu. I'm old enough to
remember these events, but they'll only confuse younger viewers. The tales of
Nazi persecution are interesting, but unnecessary in this film. As for the
Berlin Wall, why do we have to see it in the background of so many scenes?
There are too many spurious details.
The original version of this film was simpler. The lack of complexity made it
better. The remake is beautiful and stylistic, but it's a bloated failure.
And what's the point in having Tilda Swinton play three different roles?
