Nichts Als Gespenster (Nothing But Ghosts) (2006)

See the look on the guy's face? A mix of confusion and utter disgust? That was me throughout the entire film.Don't see this movie. It's so terrible. Just don't see it. I can barely write about it because there's just nothing, nothing at all worth talking about. It's based on some Judith Hermann stories. It's a bunch of despicable, boring white people traveling to different parts of the world. There are too many characters, none of whom have any kind of development or realistic motivations. They do boring things. The do asshole things. They have sex. They have empty conversations. Clearly the people making this film thought they were creating some deep, meaningful rumination on life and love, but there is no substance here. It's just nothing. It's just really, really awful. And you have probably noticed I rarely straight-up hate a movie. I hope you can understand how truly bad this must be for me to have such strong feelings of revulsion.

Luckily I don't think this is available in America. You really dodged a bullet there, guys. Great job for living in that place.

1/5
