Aszendent Liebe

About This Movie

Aszendent Liebe is quite the quirky gem from the early 2000s. It juxtaposes the rigid world of physics with the whimsical nature of astrology, creating this interesting tension. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but that adds to its charm, I think. You’ve got Robert von Reichenbach, who embodies that classic scientist struggle against the encroaching tide of superstition—his performance is a bit stiff, but in a way that feels right for the character. Lena Moosbach, the astrologer, brings this lively energy that contrasts beautifully with the sterile environment of the observatory. The practical effects are modest but effective, and the comedy often dances on that fine line between absurdity and reality. It’s a curious little film that leaves you pondering the intersection of science and belief.
