Caged Birds delves into the gritty underbelly of 1980s Switzerland, where the clash between old-school justice and radical reform takes center stage. Barbara Hug, this fierce young lawyer, brilliantly navigates the rigid prison system, her passion palpable. Then there's Walter Stürm, a character who’s practically a myth—always plotting his next escape, charming and defiant. Their chemistry is electric, and you really feel the tension as their worlds collide. The film’s pacing is deliberate, allowing for a deep exploration of themes like freedom and institutional flaws. It’s raw, with a touch of romance that feels earned amidst the chaos. The performances bring a certain authenticity, making you question the very nature of justice. Not your typical crime drama, it’s layered and slightly unconventional, a true find for collectors.
