Nach einer wahren Geschichte (2017)
65KNach einer wahren Geschichte: Directed by Roman Polanski. With Emmanuelle Seigner, Eva Green, Vincent Perez, Dominique Pinon. A writer goes through a tough period after the release of her latest book, as she gets involved with an obsessive admirer.
“This artistically well-done Showtime-made TV series primarily focuses on portrayal of lesbians in their 20s to 40s as urban professionals and deals with their everyday issues; at the same time, thematic materials such as working on relationships or struggling against temptations have universal qualities so that any open-minded persons, regardless of gender and sexual orientation, can associate with the happenings in the show. Also, dramas without malesu0026#39; chauvinistic nature create a uniquely comfortable mood, which even the straight audience may feel refreshing. Gaining a wide range of supporters and fans beyond the lesbian community must be a big factor of the showu0026#39;s success, which made it possible for the series to continue to Season Two.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSpeaking of the showu0026#39;s success, one cannot overlook its artistic merits, which are extraordinary as a TV showu0026#39;s. Many incidents are interwoven into one compelling story; a lovable ensemble cast that consists of a variety of personas engages in acting; and the director of photography Robert Aschmann takes full advantage of his skills and creativity in amazing long takes, aggressive crane shots, and illuminative lightings. There is inconsistency among episodes on writing, directing, and editing due to the fact that several different artists have worked on each episode; this drawback may be inevitable for a TV series. Among writers and directors, Rose Troche, the legendary director of Go Fish, writes believable dialogues and directs intimate scenes with crafts, while Lenka Svab stands out among editors, dazzling and mesmerizing the viewers with a deliberate disorientation. Some writers make homage to historic filmmakers such as Godard, Cassavetes, and Soderbergh by having the characters refer to them; this is a tiny detail but certainly amuses film fans.”
