Alle Liebe dieser Welt (1996)

Alle Liebe dieser Welt: Directed by Dan Ireland. With Vincent D’Onofrio, Renée Zellweger, Ann Wedgeworth, Harve Presnell. In 1933 Texas, a schoolteacher and aspiring writer meets a pulp fiction writer, and a relationship soon develops between the two, but it is doomed by his slavishly devotion to his ailing mother and insistence on his freedom.

“Set in 1930u0026#39;s small town Texas are two unlikely characters: one who is an accomplished writer and one who u0026quot;wants to beu0026quot;. Their journey is a rare story these days (writing this in 2009) in writing or on the screen. Not since watching u0026quot;84 Charring Cross Roadu0026quot; have I applauded such realism. Bob Howard, famed author of u0026quot;Conan the Barbarianu0026quot; is seen as he was in real life through the eyes of an unusually brave woman, Novalyne Price (the story taken directly from her book u0026quot;One Who Walked Aloneu0026quot;).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHoward (played by Vincent Du0026#39;Onofrio) was a real loner who found himself in love; an impossible situation for any recluse, let alone a perhaps misunderstood misanthropic one. Price (played by Rene Zellweger), carries the other hard end of the bargain, a sociable yet independent single woman in 1930u0026#39;s Texas whou0026#39;s burden of loving him is even more unimaginable to bear, but not in any of the trite ways one might think. Most of us cower from those who do not u0026quot;behaveu0026quot; as society dictates, or to be more blunt, as our loved ones dictate; Price does and doesnu0026#39;t, in a classy yet grounded blend of grace. Both characters are surprising and totally human. Shot in only 24 days, this u0026quot;littleu0026quot; movie is a buy-to-own keeper. No wonder Zellweger went on to movie stardom after this role.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTo quote Rene, her performance is in part u0026quot;Many thanks to Vincentu0026quot;. An amazing portrait of the best of both actoru0026#39;s range of talent. Recommended highly.”
