Der Greis (2010)
8/10
An emotional piece
5 August 2010
An emotional film about an emotional homeless man all accompanied with an emotional piece of music which really carries the film towards the end. Didn't quite follow the female character, but her beauty and innocence added to a very dramatic downfall of the main character.

The backdrop of the movie does a great job adding to the character of the protagonist. Being set on the red, desolate bridge defines that the main character is alone until he finds his music.

The part that sticks out to me the most is when the protagonist takes out the music and begins to see the woman, who I first perceived to be the homeless man's daughter. It's still unclear to me who she is in correlation to the homeless man, but her presence is very effective.

Overall, the film is well acted and well directed. Even though some components of the story are slightly unclear, the music by Franz Joseph Haydn is a perfect finish.
