The microscope is a German film by Rudolf Thome . It premiered on February 17, 1988 in the Forum of the Berlinale and opened in cinemas on April 14, 1988. The film marks the beginning of the trilogy "Forms of Love", which was completed with The Philosopher (1988) and Seven Women (1989).

action

Franz and Maria's relationship is in crisis: While she wants to get married and have children, Franz is more in favor of a loose bond. Desperate, he has an affair with the chance acquaintance Tina. Maria and Tina get along so well that they open a shop together. Maria is determined to show Franz that their relationship is worth fighting for. Aquaristic experiments and looking through the lens of a microscope (Franz's new passion) bring the two together again after the separation was almost complete.

criticism

The film service judges that the film is "an easy and entertaining staged comedy, which varies the style of Eric Rohmers and - despite unconvincing punchlines - provides material for diverse discussions about problems of partnership and love."

Awards

At the German Film Prize in 1988 the film received the prize for the best ensemble (Adriana Altaras and Vladimir Weigl).

The German Film and Media Evaluation FBW in Wiesbaden awarded the film the title valuable.
