Young fotographer Sophie exchanges her flat with a student from Marseille. It’s February, Marseille seems rough and inaccessible. Sophie is by herself and takes photographs. In a car repair shop she asks the young mechanic Pierre, if he can get her a car. The more she turns herself over to the city, the more impossible her previous life seems to her …

Synopsis
Angela Schanelec’s first feature since 2010 is the much-anticipated Der traumhafte Weg, a serious work that is deliberately constructed image upon image and allows the viewer to read a seemingly realistic, yet artificially created world as it is being experienced, yet ultimately works against any simple narrative comprehension. The best way to tackle Der traumhafte Weg is to proceed, scene by scene, with a description of the shots, of how within the shots the characters are framed, how the characters gaze, how they hold their bodies… In other words, it is an Angela Schanelec film, where attention is required and rewarded, and the characters are at the mercy of the elements of chance.

Again working with master cinematographer Reinhold Vorschneider, Schanelec employs familiar arthouse tropes (the use of ellipsis, natural light, Bressonian editing and framing) to tell the somewhat intertwined stories of two couples who experience alternate bleak realities, wracked by pain and sadness: the young backpacking lovers Kenneth and Theres, who meet in Greece, and, 30 years later, a contemporary husband and wife living in Berlin, Ariane an actress (played by Tatort regular Maren Eggert), and David an anthropologist. But this Bressonian familiarity belies a narrative strangeness: are the young lovers, as they appear in the second half, “dreamed” by one of them? Or is this strategy definitively based on the act of “unknowing” reality? Whatever works, you might say, when faced with an unsolvable puzzle – because being in the presence of such accomplished formal precision that speaks to reality, at a time where filmmaking has generally been diluted, is in itself a reward.

SYNOPSIS
Amidst the impersonal hubbub of Paris’ Orly Airport, strangers meet, secrets are revealed, and sudden intimacies develop in this beautifully observed mosaic of lives in transit.

REVIEW
Quote:
Loosely-linked scenes in the hall of Paris’ Orly airport. A man and a woman, both French but living abroad, meet each other by chance. He has just decided to move back to Paris and she longs to return there. A mother and her almost adult son are going to the funeral of her ex-husband, his father. A young couple is embarking on its first big trip. And a woman reads a letter from the man she has recently left. They are all waiting for their flight.

The departure hall is a place of transit. People are between the here and there, between the “not yet” and the “no more”. Schanelec places four couples amid the crowds of waiting passengers; the camera observes them, often from a distance. But their conversations can be heard; the ear is closer than the eye. Intimate islands of dialogue amid hectic activity. The tremendous background noise does them no harm until the music comes and infects the whole room. Cat Power sings “Remember Me”, reinforcing the atmosphere of longing, separation and transitoriness that already lingers in the air. Later, the off-screen monologue of a dying, loving man adds to it. “Love Will Tear Us Apart” – that’s what’s written at the beginning on a record cover. A farewell film.
