Ich wollte leben (2. Teil)

About This Movie

So, this film, Ich wollte leben (2. Teil), picks up where the first one left off, diving back into the lives of those previously documented in Ninaus' earlier work. It’s raw, real, and a bit haunting. You really get a sense of the struggle over time, seeing how some have managed to break free from their past, while others are still grappling with addiction. The pacing is contemplative, allowing moments of silence to weigh heavily, which makes the emotional stakes even more resonant. There’s a stark honesty in the interviews, and the visuals have this gritty authenticity that draws you in. It’s not just a follow-up; it’s a stark look at resilience and the ongoing battle with addiction, which just hits differently.
