Bauhaus

About This Movie

Bauhaus (2019) offers a glimpse into the turbulent world of Weimar Germany through the eyes of Lotte Brendel, a young woman caught between societal expectations and her artistic desires. The setting feels raw, almost gritty, reflecting the chaos of the era. There's this beautiful tension in the pacing; it feels like Lotte's rebellion builds slowly but culminates in a series of striking, almost poetic moments. The performances are quite compelling, especially in how they embody the struggle between tradition and modernity. The practical effects, while subtle, complement the mood well, enhancing the authenticity of the time. What stands out is how it portrays the quest for identity in a world that wants to define you. It’s not just a story; it’s an atmosphere.
