With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for adventure lovers and people who like stories about real, flawed people. A good one for when you want to be swept off somewhere else. Shelve it next to Interstate 60.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 31 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1940: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A successful German overseas merchant with a plantation in Haiti is looking for a suitable wife in Hamburg and comes across a barmaid from the Reeperbahn with an illegitimate child. He wants to marry her, but she does not follow him out of nobility. In search of her, he finds her in Mexico as the secretary of his former lover, a writer.
