https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15109082/My most loved movie this year was An Cailín Ciúin | The Quiet Girl | Das stille Mädchen.
I saw it two times at the Festival and it blows out my mind. As you eventually noticed, this movie have no own country here on FLM. It was the first movie ever on the Berlinale who came from Ireland (and it was the 72. edition of this festival!) and the simple reason is, that movies directly from Ireland are absolutely rare, because this country spend no money for movie productions in the past. That is slowly changed now and one of the first movies who get some money is now "An Cailín Ciúin". For our luck, it's really a fantastic masterpiece.
The Story is a bit like "Anne of Green Gables", has a little part who I must think on "Alice in Wonderland", it was so emotional, I love all the views on lot of Details (including lot of closeups from the Girl) and the soundtrack was great.
This movie is Winner of the Grand Prix Award at Berlinale Generation Kplus and also get a special mention from the child Jury of this year.
Storydescription from the Berlinale:
Four siblings, a mother torn between care and helplessness, a cursing father and a wet mattress every morning: these are the things that make up quiet young Cáit’s life. Her parents decide it’s best if she spends the summer at the farm of two relatives she has never met. Lush green trees flank the road leading up to their property, a respectful silence pervading their bright, clean house. Here, tenderly looked after by Eibhlín, Cáit finally feels loved and safe. Initial aloofness likewise starts giving way to a deeper bond between her and Seán, with whom she feeds the calves. The mattress stays dry. And yet, in the midst of the scraggly beauty of the Irish countryside, certain secrets seem to linger, which Cáit begins to face with newfound courage and confidence.
