Carmen, or an Unfortunate Love Story of Hanspeter From Oberkassel, That Made My Children Happy in a Foreign Country, is really intriguing. It captures this bittersweet nostalgia, taking you back to the 80s through Hanspeter's lens. You feel the heartache when Carmen vanishes; it lingers. The pacing is reflective, allowing you to dwell on his emotions and the quirky, charming circus school he builds. It’s an odd mix of whimsy and melancholy, which, for me, is what makes it distinctive. The documentary style feels raw, very grounded. There’s a certain warmth in how the kids find joy through Hanspeter’s passion, and it strikes a chord that’s hard to shake off.
