Am Anfang war die Eifersucht

About This Movie

So, 'Am Anfang war die Eifersucht' is this quirky little German TV movie that dives into the messy waters of love and relationships. You’ve got this couple, Annabelle and Friedrich, on the verge of a marital breakdown, and then things get even more chaotic with Edda's late-life romance that throws a wrench into the mix. The humor is a bit slapstick at times, but it's complemented by some genuinely touching moments. The pacing keeps things lively, though it feels like it could have used a tighter edit in spots. The performances are charming, especially Edda’s character, who brings a sort of whimsical chaos to the narrative. It’s not your typical rom-com fare, and that’s what makes it stand out. Definitely has that late-night watch vibe.
