Günther and Paul are convinced that life must be lived to the fullest and without compromise - they demand the same of love. Together with Günther's sister, Hilde, they set out for a sultry, summer weekend in Günther and Hilde's country home. Paul is fascinated by Hilde and falls in love with her. Hilde, however, can't be pinned down by this handsome and sensative young suitor as her capsity for love is far too large for just one. She slips off to secretly meet with Hans - Günther's former lover and now one of hers.

Their friends arrive and an all night party begins. Hans can't resist joining the party, though he knows that Günther has never really gotten over him. High on music and real Absinth, emotions and desires mix with jealousies to create a deadly pact.

Daniel Brühl (Germany's answer to Jake Gyllenhaal) leads this young, talented and attractive cast in this beautifully crafted film based on a true story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful enchanting film 20 Dec 2008
By Andrew
Format:DVD
A beautiful langorous film of young love. I was entranced by the beauty of the characters - Hilde in particular. Although all set over a few days it evokes a long summer of growing up and falling in love. The soundtrack is lovely. A very absorbing film. And you don't work out what really happened until the end. This is an enchanting film to take you away to another world and time. The historical context is there but the film shows the real lives of people without the bigger drama going on around them. It makes you remember that when things were happening which we now can't understand the people were just absorbed in their own natural lives and loves.

3.0 out of 5 stars Neither that good, nor that bad 24 Dec 2012
Format:DVD
The events of this film seem to take place over a few days so it is perhaps not surprising that the film is long on mood and short on story-line. Though based on a true story set in the days of the Weimar Republic, there is little sense of the social and political atmosphere of the times, other than hedonism. The film holds one's attention reasonably well but it might have been a more interesting film had it followed the lives of the protagonists beyond the events portrayed, rather than relating them as a footnote at the end of the film.

1.0 out of 5 stars Empty and pretentious 24 April 2007
Format:DVD
Funny how two people viewing the same film can have two completely different opinions. 'Love in Thoughts' (dumb title for a dumb film)seemed to me vacuous, pointless and incredibly dull. The story (based on actual events) is thin and predictable. The leads are cyphers not characters, much of the dialogue is crass or portentious and the attractive cast do little more than pout, glower or stare moodily into the middle-distance - it would've taken a River Phoenix to make anything out of this leaden nonsense. The shooting style is arty/pretentious and the pace is the wrong side of slow, not helped by the occasional use of slow motion for no obvious reason - as if the film weren't slow enough! You'd be more challanged, absorbed and entertained watching a turkey cook in an oven.
