The light: Tykwers New film trip through the soul life of the family

A strong comeback for Tom Tykwer! The multi -award -winning director returns to the big screen with his latest film "Das Licht", after a nine -year break. The film celebrated its Premiere as an opening film of the Berlinale and has already caused a sensation. In his lively story, Tykwer draws a picture of a dysfunctional family in today's Berlin, in which father Tim (Lars Eidinger) and mother Milena (Nicolette Krebitz) have to deal with the challenges of modern life and their own relationships. Milena is often busy with a social project in Africa, while Tim got used to an unadjusted lifestyle by walking around naked in her apartment.

The work not only deals with the inner -family tensions, but also the effects of global crises such as migration and climate change. This becomes clear through the introduction of Farrah, a Syrian household help, which brings new light to family interactions with its eventful past and the possibilities of a therapy lamp. Tykwer, the well-known directors such as Freddie Mercury as inspiration for his creative approach, mixes different genres in the 162-minute film and brings drama, satire and animated sequences together, like Themunicheye reported.

The topics that Tykwer wants to address are contemporary: the film reflects on the questions of identity, empathy and the deep human need for community. With powerful pictures and a well thought -out soundtrack, which includes the classic "Bohemian Rhapsody", Tykwer wants to stimulate the audience to think. As the director in an interview with the Krone , the film reflects the challenges and contradictions of everyday life and offers a humorous but also serious view of life today.
