Besuch für Emma

About This Movie

So, 'Besuch für Emma' is one of those curious little gems that really dives into the theme of loneliness in a bustling Berlin. The premise is unique - Emma, a cashier, finds herself isolated amid the city's vibrancy. Instead of just waiting for connection, she devises this odd plan to meet people by leaving purses in a supermarket. It's a strange mix of comedy and drama, and the pacing is pretty reflective, allowing you to feel Emma's solitude. The performances are solid, especially in how they convey that sharp contrast between her mundane work life and her yearning for companionship. The atmosphere feels very much like a slice of urban life, filled with both hope and melancholy, and that makes it quite distinctive in its storytelling.
