More (1969)

More (1969, GER/FRA/LUX) C-117m. *** D: Barbet Schroeder. Starring Klaus Grünberg, Mimsy Farmer, Heinz Engelmann, Michel Chanderli. Director Schroeder's debut feature is free-wheeling, well-told drama about German mathematics student Grünberg, who takes a break from his studies to get to know the real world. He goes to Paris and falls in love with Farmer, a hippie girl with a liberal attitude towards drugs. Some consider this romance boring, and as a treatise on addiction it is not very illuminating, but characters are interesting and atmosphere is well-captured. A free-spirited time capsule, perhaps a matter of taste. The music is by Pink Floyd. Script by Schroeder and Paul Gégauff, produced by Schroeder. Photographed by Néstor Almendros.
