Von oben

About This Movie

So, 'Von oben' really dives into the complexities of change and solitude. Irene, the main character, is in a rough spot—she’s splitting from her husband and all that comes with it. The backdrop of her noisy neighbors upstairs adds a layer of tension and almost a character of its own, with that water sound haunting her throughout the film. The pacing is quite deliberate, letting you stew in her emotions and the chaos around her. It’s got this rawness in the performances; you really feel Irene’s struggle. The way the mundane becomes overwhelming is captured well, making it distinctive in its approach to exploring personal upheaval amidst external noise. Definitely gives you something to think about long after it ends.
