Burning Life

About This Movie

Burning Life is this intriguing blend of crime and drama that captures a certain rawness, you know? The story revolves around Anna and Lisa, two young women whose chance meeting in a bank leads them down a chaotic path of bank robberies across Germany. The pacing is almost languid at times, which gives it a unique tension as you watch them navigate their reckless choices. The performances feel genuine, like you’re peeking into their lives rather than just watching a scripted narrative. I’d say the atmosphere is a bit gritty, typical of early '90s crime dramas, and it has this undercurrent of desperation. The practical effects, while not flashy, complement the film's grounded feel. It's the kind of film that stays with you, not overly polished but definitely memorable in its own way.
