Reviews
Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Michael Daniels I really love this movie. It has a wonderful timeless, nostalgic feel played out in B&W. The mise en scene is evocative of French cinema, with Roman Polanski and David Lynch notes lifted by the hit recording by Buddy Holly. Everything in the mise en scene of this movie evokes both a feeling of unease and charm. It is beautiful, and yet disturbing, and somehow this delicate combination lifts it into a work of artistic merit in terms of cinema-photography and film-making.
Michael Ledo Severine (Anna Hausburg) is moody and has weird dreams. She wants some "me" time away from her boyfriend Tom (Kai Michael Müller). Tom goes to the bar and laments his woes to any stranger who will listen and one does. He will kidnap Severine and Tom will rescue her. When her car runs out of gas, this puts a kink into the plan and midpoint plot spoiler...the guys make rape/snuff films and need a pretty female lead for a role of a lifetime. Severine uses the hatchet she is pictured with on the cover to do some editing.The film is cultish, filmed in black and white, steeped with odd scenes, I thought I was watching Ingmar Berman making a film combining "I Spit on Your Grave" and "The Story of O" a German version of acid horror. I wish they had colorized the red blood, like on the DVD cover. I don't know why I gave the film 4 stars anymore than if I had given it 1 star. I am still trying to work the scenes out in my head. It could be genius or just crap.Guide: F-word. Rape. Butt nudity.
Leofwine_draca TRUE LOVE WAYS is an art-house horror movie from Germany that suffers from a very low budget and a general lack of direction. I'm always ready to turn off when I go to watch a modern movie and see it shot in black and white with a dream-like atmosphere, which screams pretentiousness, and this film is no exception.The running time is overlong and the story is light and all too airy. It's about an unhappy couple who decide to spice up their relationship and prove their love to each other by employing a third party to bring some danger into their lives. Unfortunately through various twists it all goes wrong, badly wrong. Sadly, TRUE LOVE WAYS is too subtle and insubstantial to prove the least bit memorable. There's no faulting the acting, but it all seems directionless, like a boat lost at sea without a rudder.
timlin-4 A grind-house revenge exploitation movie though an art-house lens. Though artificial black and white cinematography is generally irritating, it suits the dreamlike and visually intense atmosphere of this film. But the abstraction and tastefulness cause any horror to lose much its immediacy, and the movie is as infused with boredom as with monochrome. A review describing even the basic plot is therefore spoiling some of its scarce impact. In this sicko's opinion there is also an insufficient amount of nudity for the plot: the most obscene imagery is a closeup of tape being removed from lips. But Anna Hausburg is enjoyable to watch, and the film is well-crafted.
