Die Verfilmung von Paulo Coelhos Bestseller-Roman VERONIKA BESCHLIESST ZU STERBEN erzählt die Geschichte einer unglücklichen jungen Frau, die alles hat und doch sterben will. Erst angesichts des Todes entdeckt sie, wie schön das Leben sein kann, wenn man darum kämpft und etwas riskiert. VERONIKA BESCHLIESST ZU STERBEN ist eine wunderbare Geschichte über Normalität und Anderssein, über die nötige Prise Verrücktheit, die es zum Leben braucht, über den Mut, den eigenen Lebenstraum Wirklichkeit werden zu lassen und eine Liebeserklärung an das Glück in jedem von uns.

Sometimes even seemingly unremarkable and seemingly "minor" films can offer an extraordinary experience. Veronika Decides to Die is a perfect example of this, and it's not necessarily just about the visuals (although in this case the totally unknown to me Emily Young also did a good job), but also about the actual applicability with our real lives (after all, the girl was actually right about almost everything:)) Veronica, disgusted and depressed by the current times, rediscovers the strength to live again only because of a few wonderful individual moments (as the film itself says), which she experiences thanks to a strange encounter, through which in her "new" life she finds what she was missing before (or rather, what her former life could not provide). The deep and psychologically sophisticated story is graced by Sarah Michelle Gellar's beautiful but also passable performance and, of course, the chosen narrative style, which is civil and sensitive in the best way. I don't know the book, but maybe I'll get to it in time. :)

The divine Sarah Michelle Gellar and the minimalist absolute director David Thewlis led me to a fascinating contradiction. They tell a story in a breathtaking way, then stop, delay, and twist all expectations, yet still end with such a perfect catharsis that I find it hard to withhold the highest rating. I can't remember the last time I wished so much for a film to never end and ultimately acknowledged, amazed, how the conclusion gave order to everything and added a touch of genius. Currently at 85%.

Paulo Coelho is not my favorite author, but maybe that's just because I haven't read anything from him yet. Actually, I glanced at one of his books, read a few pages, thought it might interest me, but never came back to it. Maybe someday in the future. The theme of the film is definitely interesting and it is executed in a way that it won't leave you feeling down for the next 24 hours. Sarah Michelle proves that she can act, even though she doesn't dare to take on all roles. It's an interesting insight into the lives of people who need help. It's not a mind-blowing piece of work, but it captivates.
