Das Glück ist eine ernste Sache

About This Movie

So, 'Das Glück ist eine ernste Sache' is this intriguing piece from 2009 that captures the chaos of life through Olivia’s struggles. You’ve got this deep sense of melancholy intertwined with black humor that really sets an interesting tone. The pacing feels a bit unconventional, like it lingers in those awkward, tense moments that many films shy away from. The characters are well-drawn, especially Kora, who adds a layer of complexity with her return—it’s really about how family dynamics can twist and turn unexpectedly. The performances are raw and authentic, drawing you in, making you feel for each character in their quirks and flaws. It’s distinctive in its exploration of personal turmoil wrapped in this absurdity of life’s unpredictability.

This film has a niche following among collectors, particularly due to its unique exploration of familial relationships and personal struggles. It hasn’t seen a wide release in physical formats, making it somewhat scarce; I’ve heard whispers of a few limited editions circulating among dedicated collectors. If you come across a copy, it’s worth considering for its distinct narrative and character-driven storytelling that often gets overlooked.
