回复 :When the film begins, it is all over. “We know it’s terminal, and that’s all”, says Juliane of her mother Kerstin, who is in great pain and about to die aged just 64. Although the young doctor she consults acknowledges on a personal level that everyone has the right to manage their own death, he nonetheless reminds her that euthanasia is still illegal in Germany. This is even more the case at the Catholic hospice where Kerstin is staying. As relatives come to say goodbye to her mother and the emotions of memories mingle with the anticipation of grief, Juliane finds herself having to do battle with time – unbending, apathetic and monochrome – and this is superbly reflected in the convulsions of the handheld camera in wide shots.Based on personal experience, Jessica Krummacher’s second feature film vividly relates the painful story of losing a parent. There is no violence or morbidity, rather the director describes the most important of events via the smallest, most fragile of details – the exchanging of words, texts and tender gestures that remain with us and get under our skin.

回复 :内容描述一名精神病男子化装成圣诞老人在公路上洗劫，并以残酷的手法杀死了车主夫妇。他们的小孩侥幸逃生，但多年以后仍然受到此一暴力事件的惊吓。「圣诞老人是凶手」这种角色设计，对儿童而言根本无法接受，成年人亦会对本片的血腥暴力场面感到不忍卒睹，但其诡异的叙事风格仍然具有特色。该片在当年首映时曾引起美国家长的抗议，不过因此反而使它变成卖座片，甚至接连拍摄了几部续集。
