Verlangen

About This Movie

So, Verlangen is a little gem from '96 directed by Bernhard Marsch, though the director's other works aren't exactly under the spotlight. This short creates a unique atmosphere. It’s got this haunting quality, and the pacing feels deliberate, almost dreamlike. You can sense the tension building, and the practical effects, while simple, add a rawness that’s compelling. There’s a certain weight to the themes explored—desire, longing, perhaps a hint of existential questioning. It's not flashy, but the performances have a depth that pulls you in. Not your typical short, for sure.

Verlangen is fairly obscure, with limited formats circulating, making it an interesting piece for collectors. Not many physical releases out there, which adds to its appeal. Interest seems to spike among those who appreciate short films that dive into deeper themes. Definitely one to keep an eye on if you enjoy lesser-known works that linger in the mind.
