Das Deckelbad

About This Movie

Das Deckelbad is this understated gem that captures a woman’s quest for happiness in 1930s Switzerland. The pacing is almost languid, letting you soak in Katharina’s dreams and disappointments. The stark contrast between her hopeful arrival and the complexities of love with Tannbühler Tres adds depth to the narrative. Performances are sincere, with a kind of rawness that feels genuine. The film has a nostalgic atmosphere, enhanced by practical effects that bring the era to life without overwhelming the story. It’s the quiet moments that linger in your mind, making you reflect on the fragility of dreams. Not flashy, but there's a beauty in its simplicity and emotional honesty that I find really resonates.

Slow pacing invites introspection · Strong emotional core · Authentic 1930s setting
