Saad Khan SommerStrum – SUMMERSTORM – CATCH IT ( B+ ) SommerStrum is very heartwarming German movie, which avoids the general clichés of Camp movies. It's a simple story about a boy trying to figure out what he exactly wants is quite endearing. I love the way whole movie progresses and the humor quotient and good characterization makes it really captivating. Robert Stadlober is good, he was as convincing as mean jealous friend and as Caring loving friend too. Kostja Ullmann is gorgeous, no wonder Robert Stadlober fall in love with him. The chemistry between these two is really good. Alicja Bachleda is really gorgeous and her emotional range in performance can be seen in the movie. I have seen her in "Ondine" as well where she was mesmerizing. Miriam Morgenstern did her part really well. All the other young cast was also did their part really well and brought the humor and fun into the movie. Overall, its really enjoyable, real and inspiring movie about something feeling Different. I loved every moment of the movie. Must Watch it!

Jay Harris I thought I had already sent in a review of this when I saw it a few months back.I just wrote a lackluster review of another German Movie I saw last night it has a similar sports theme as well as coming out.Guys an Balls is the title, It is far inferior to this delightThe characters in SummerStorm are all persons I would like to know, while in the other, no one was even part way likable,.I do not remember many details on this film BUT I do know it was well acted & well made, written & Directed. It also was bright & sunny even in the storm scene.Ratings *** (out of 4) 86 points (out of 100) IMDb 8 (out of 10) **STAR RATING & IMDb rating actual, numerical rating -educated guess

Armand Strange film grace of his original beauty. The essence is self-discover of a teenager but, not his obsessive love for his friend, the ambiguity of feelings, the moral end or the fight with himself, the contact with the "others" are important . The essence is the splendid art to tell, in honest way, with delicate images and ordinary scenes the evolution of a crisis, the gestures of a age, the love as miracle, the fixation and desire of an outsider for who his self-image and the opinion of friends is the fundamental punishment.To be yourself like horrible sin.It is not a original story but this film is great for the subtle science to discover, without pity, compassion or masks a real slice of existence.The love for an Achim or the desire for be normal in a homophobic society are not only artistic themes and the message of film is, in fact, to be a model to self definition, a subject to meditation, a point to search of truth against others, against yourself.Only, the commercial happy-end. The shadows are not a so short life. But, the intentions , the honesty of work, the game with lights and the good interpretation are more important.

jimmymiller77 One of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. Very much like my early days. Too bad they don't all turn out as great as Toby's did. A breath of fresh air to enjoy. This director is a god sent to the gay community. I say Bravo !!!! I have not yet seen any other of Marco Kreuzpaintner films but I am sure they will be fantastic. I wish I could get a Email address for Mr Kreuzpaintner But as of yet I cannot locate one. I hope other who have seen this movie enjoyed it as much as I. Please Email me if you would like to discuss any of his works or have any suggestions for other great movies. I must enter ten lines of comments to get this to take so at this point I guess I must ramble on to use up more space.
