Product Description

Set in the Weimar Republic, Germany in 1927, based on true events, Love In Thoughts is the posthumous account of the suicide pact and murderous plot of poet Paul Krantz (Daniel Brühl) and friend Guenther Scheller (August Diehl). Paul and Guenther's promise to live life to the full, and end it when love betrays them, proves accurately fatal when the introduction of Hans (Thure Lindhardt) instigates a four-way tug of war.Hans' romance with Guenther's sister, Hilde (Anna Maria Mühe), leaves Guenther dangerously jealous and Paul inconsolably lost. The morning after a climatic hedonistic party and events that follow, push Paul and Guenther into creating a plot to take the lives of those that have felled their love along with their own

Synopsis

Paul Krantz ((Daniel Bruhl, GOODBYE, LENIN!) and Guenther Scheller (August Diehl, THE NINTH DAY) are high school students who have just one thing in common: their desire to live life to its fullest potential, and die when it has reached its peak. The hunger for life is palpable in this moody period drama that runs the gamut of emotion, based on the events of 1927 that became known as the Steglitz Student Tragedy. Dreamy poet Paul comes from a working-class background, while the risk-taking Guenther is a wealthy playboy. The friends take a weekend trip to Guenter's family summerhouse, where his charmingly bohemian sister Hilde (Anna Maria MÃ¼he, BIG GIRLS DON'T CRY), is staying. Paul is immediately captivated by her, and the two share an intimate weekend before Hilde returns to the city, surreptitiously meeting up with Hans, a former lover of her brother's with whom she is now involved. Meanwhile, the boys make a pact that, the moment they no longer feel any love, the will end their lives and take with them those who have stolen their love. This sets the stage for a debaucherous weekend of love and betrayal, as the Paul and Guenther throw a wild party during which true loyalties are revealed, and the friends must decide whether to take the ultimate step in life: death.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Superb Cast Carry this Atmospheric Film of Confused Young Love, 29 Jul 2006

By	T. Halkin "Tim" (Munich, Germany) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

G�nther and Paul are convinced that life must be lived to the fullest and without compromise - they demand the same of love. Together with G�nther's sister, Hilde, they set out for a sultry, summer weekend in G�nther 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 - G�nther'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 G�nther has never really gotten over him. High on music and real Absinth, emotions and desires mix with jealousies to create a deadly pact.

Daniel Br�hl (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 (London, England) - See all my reviews

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Empty and pretentious, 24 April 2007

By	S. Moore "NewWave" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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 is thin and the predictable ending a long, long time coming. 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.
