Last night I tried my second German movie in one week. I saw Liebes Spiel that
stars Maggie Peren, and Florian Stetter. It was one of the few movies that I have seen of late that was not bad and not good. It was entertaining in that it had the single theme of addiction, gambling addiction, in the framework of the developing relationship of the two principal characters. So what is the storyline?
The disoriented EMT Morten (Stetter), by chance, meets Theresa, a slot-machine addict who works a translator. They hookup quickly but their fledgling relationship goes downhill just as fast as a result of Theresa's obsession with playing the slot machines. That is all that I am going to say because it is better not to know any more about this average movie. I only recommend this movie if you are interested the impact of an addiction on a budding relationship.
