Amour Fou 2014 123movies

Watch: Amour fou 2014 123movies, Full Movie Online – Berlin, the Romantic Era. Young poet Heinrich wishes to conquer the inevitability of death through love, yet is unable to convince his skeptical cousin Marie to join him in a suicide pact. It is whilst coming to terms with this refusal, ineffably distressed by his cousin’s insensitivity to the depth of his feelings, that Heinrich meets Henriette, the wife of a business acquaintance. Heinrich’s subsequent offer to the beguiling young woman at first holds scant appeal, that is until Henriette discovers she is suffering from a terminal illness.
Plot: A “romantic comedy” based loosely on the suicide of the poet Henrich von Kleist in 1811.

The implementation of consistent morbidity
The stylistic deserts of the film cannot be denied. It keeps its own style up all the way, reminding of the extreme stylism of directors like Carl Th. Dreyer. The cinematography is breathtakingly beautiful all through, and on top of all this it’s a true story. The poets of the romantic era lived all in the shadow of Goethe, and Goethe himself did not like Kleist for his dismal and almost depressive morbidity. From the beginning to the end of the film Kleist is preoccupied with his desire for death by suicide and is desperately looking for a partner with the same anguish of his mind and to share death with him. He finally thinks he finds her in a young married lady who has nervous attacks and is convinced she will die soon. She will rather die by his hand than bedridden and sick to death. The film is a kind of ultimate description of supreme egoism, and Henriette, Kleist’s partner, observes his exaggerated egoism herself and reacts against it, but still she follows him although she has a lovely daughter and loving husband, while Kleist doesn’t give a damn about the lives he possibly ruins. Goethe’s early suicidal novel of the miserable Werther caused an epidemic of suicides all over Europe, and this appears to have remained a hangover for five decades. The longing for death is nothing new but remains a perpetual subject of actuality, especially for creative artists, and the film is an interesting study in this. The only music of the film is quiet romances by Mozart and Beethoven, played by amateurs, which adds charm to the film, the only light relief of it being a ballroom scene in Berlin. The film is watchable and enjoyable for its cinematography but hardly a film you would long for to see again.

Social commentary mixed with an unrealistic (in our time) romantic feelings. I preferred the former and took the latter for granted
I saw this film at the Film Fest Ghent 2014. What I liked most is the social commentary that was intertwined throughout the story. Nice view on the issues of that era mixed with social/salon behavior of those days mixed with how houses internally looked in those days. Especially the discussions about taxes and social order were very informative, in showing how the higher classes thought at that time, while bringing forward a series of arguments why they considered democracy a bad idea. Also, they had very strong opinions why paying taxes was something for the lower classes only, pending a law proposal at that time to extend taxation to everyone irregardless of rank or title.

I’m usually not fond of costume drama’s. This time we were lucky to have aforementioned compensations that let me easily watch the slowly developing drama without being distracted by the historic attributes. Of course, what these people motivated to act how they acted, escapes our (at least: my) understanding. But I’m a certified nerd, and does not understand anything where romantic behavior is concerned. And, as a totally different matter, that Heinrich and Henrietta can undertake two journeys without any form of chaperoning, escapes me too.

Acting is superb, to such an extent that we gradually get to understand all major protagonists better and better in the course of the movie. That Heinrich halfway tries again to convince Marie into the suicide pact, makes clear that he actually preferred her all the time (rendering Henrietta 2nd choice). Collective suicide or not, this shifting preference makes the finale still more tragic as it already would be without that complication.
