action

Reviews

  • Bayerischer Rundfunk : "The Bicycle" is a wonderful antidote to all of the targeted love stories that the cinema likes to tell - nothing is explained here, but a lot is understood, and a happy ending is not an option. That's not how you make box office magnets, but you can make good films.
  • TV feature film : Playful, very lively and incredibly fresh, director and author Arne Körner puts the scenes together, repeatedly reveals her hidden joke and defies all the usual romantic narrative patterns (...) "The Bicycle" is THE German anti-romance .
  • taz : Well, there is hardly a worse cliché than a love story in Paris, but here too, Körner undermines expectations by dispensing with any romantic transfiguration and consistently only showing the last act of this relationship. With “The Bicycle” you get drawn more and more into the relationship, precisely because the two obviously don't fit together.
  • Michael Girke : ... Körner appeals to the eyes. Even the smallest gestures by the actors let you see something at any time, turning the canvas into a landscape of passions, contradictions, questions, doubts.
  • Dietrich Kuhlbrodt : A great perceptual experience, this film. (...) It is by no means a German relationship film that crawls into the studio. Also, dramaturgically secured sentences are not recited, but the mouth is opened in the street noise.
  • Hamburger Morgenpost : Arne Körner (...) one notices both the passion for the cinema, as well as the will and the talent to leave the beaten path of cinematic storytelling. We can look forward to the further development of this extremely talented director.
