1986 · Film · ★ 6.7
Released in 1986, Mein Fall is a fantasy and drama film directed by Manoel de Oliveira, running about 91 minutes.
What it’s about. Manoel de Oliveira plays his film in three stages: the first part - a play, the second can be roughly defined as a silent film (with the behind the scenes read excerpts from Beckett works), but in the end the director brilliantly performs the same material of the avant-garde exercise. Surprisingly, a joke, repeated three times, each time everything sounds fresh and develops into an almost verbatim adaptation of the biblical "Book of Job" - a spectacular point in a parable about how hard to empathize with other people's misery, when you have your own.
Who’s in it. Mein Fall stars Bulle Ogier as Actrice n° 1, Axel Bogousslavsky as L'Employé, Luís Miguel Cintra as L'Intrus and Fred Personne as L'Auteur, among others.
