Verrückt nach ihr

"Das Schwierige an einer psychischen Erkrankung ist, dass die anderen wollen, dass Sie sich wie ein Gesunder verhalten." Der Film von Orden erinnerte mich sehr an einen italienischen Film Remember Me?, der sich ebenfalls auf eine unkonventionelle romantische Geschichte stützte, die mit dem Thema einer (unheilbaren) Krankheit vermischt wurde. Die humorvolle Seite des Films hat mir sehr gut gefallen - vor allem dank der Figur des Saul, dessen Geschichte auch ein solides dramatisches Zwischenspiel darstellt. Ich schätze auch die Figur der "Tourret"-Marta. Das zentrale Paar war sympathisch, aber die romantische Linie wirkte manchmal zu kitschig und amerikanisch. Auf jeden Fall ist es ein schöner Film zum Lachen, aber auch zum Nachdenken. "Es ist erstaunlich zu sehen, wie sehr psychisch Kranke Wackelpudding lieben. Transparentes Essen macht uns glücklich."

The film has a rather nice idea about a man who volunteers to be admitted to a psychiatric ward for a woman he's fallen in love with after the first night, but signs a contract and can't get out and the woman doesn't seem too interested. At times I was hoping the Spaniards would ride the successful wave of Toc Toc – the characters are similar, after all – but the humour here gies absolutely sideways. The most amusing character is the lady with Tourette's syndrome, but the rest of the patients are woefully underused. It's a shame that instead of comedy, the film focuses more on romance, drama and emotion, which I'm definitely not looking for. It’s alright, but could have been better. 5.5/10. (03.03.2021)

It's nice when someone can turn a serious subject into an enjoyable comedy. Plus, I can't help but think nothing sounds as good in movies lately as Spanish. I feel like the crazier a character gets with that language coming out of their mouth, the better and sexier they sound. Usually Spain makes me hot, but in this case I have to admit that I ended up being quite disappointed. The film does have a few strong moments that I really enjoyed watching, but as a whole it doesn't overwhelm the viewer. The plot is basically a drag lacking any kind of surprise or anything that you would think you weren't expecting. It just flew by, ended, and I don't really understand when the two managed to fall in love. Because I don't feel like I was there. 3 stars. (28.02.2021)
