Third Person (Original title: Third Person ) is a film drama by Paul Haggis from 2013. The international co-production combines three storylines that at first glance have nothing to do with each other, but are then brought together in the course of the film.
The theatrical release in Germany was on December 4, 2014.
action
The writer Michael, who has recently separated from his wife, is working on his new novel in a hotel in Paris , where he meets with his new lover Anna.
In New York , the young mother Julia is in a legal battle over custody of her young son. This was sued by the child's father after her child almost had a fatal accident because of her inattentiveness.
The American businessman Scott is in Rome for work . In a bar he meets the attractive Monika, who pretends to need money to be able to trigger her missing daughter from criminals.
The fate of all those involved is linked in the course of the film plot.
reception
The critics of the Berliner Zeitung said the film "poses more puzzles than it can solve" and "only gradually does one understand: This is a film about storytelling, rather than a cinematic story."
Cinema found that the film was mainly captivating because of its star cast, but director Haggis "lifted his sophisticated construction." The dissolution of the connection between the three narrative strands is "so implausible that even the imposing star ensemble cannot compensate for the narrative weaknesses."
