Soul 2020
What seems like a heartwarming tale about purpose in life only works if you assume a mechanical, very American view of the afterlife and metaphysics in general.

Et gab Zenen, wo ich mich bald an Popcorn verschluckt hab vorn Lachen. Außerdem is mir aufgefall'n, dat ich mein ersten richtichen Kuss au auf ner Party in nem Ruhrpottkeller hatte.

It's amazing how subtle Schrader managed to direct certain critical scenes. She always keeps the balance between the said and the unsaid and uses it to create an atmosphere of uncertainty and sadness.
"Vor der Morgenröte" is a very good biopic which doesn't use a single ounce of pathos to portray it's subject.
