SIMAS C @simas_eros Oct 21, 2026 Based on a biographical hypothesis regarding the love life of the poet Friedrich Schiller, this is an extraordinarily well-crafted film, nearly three hours in length. It centers on a romantic triangle involving the poet and two sisters—a narrative in which the private and the public spheres intersect and are negotiated—featuring a compelling story, stunning imagery, and a subtle, underlying eroticism.

Interesting times but doesn't settle into a rhythm. Don't like narration. Was the story based on fact? Didn't finish watching. Judging by most reviews, It was OK not to. See more May 19, 2016 Pretty good - three hours long with lots of detail and a thoroughly believable narrative, although not all based on recorded fact. It appears that Schiller married one sister and had a deep and lasting relationship with the other, too; the rest is dramatic licence. Despite being in German and subtitled, this was absorbing throughout. Lots of detail of eighteenth century printing processes, as well as a complex emotional tale and the historic context. Some nice sexy bits too! (interestingly without any explicit nakedness on screen) See more Jan 25, 2016 This movie dragged on and on and on. It really wasn't worth the three hours of my life I can never get back. It promised a great deal and delivered very little. Not even the 'argument' between the two sisters at the end was enough to satisfy the years of built up frustration they endured. This was a major let down. Not worth seeing.
