Love Steaks

Love Steaks / Fogma #1: Suite Heart, 2013

Director: Jakob Lass

Color, 90', Bluray

Taking away not less than five awards in last year’s Munich Film Festival, “Love Steaks” was also selected for screening in many other major festivals, from Karlovy Vary to Rotterdam. In this portrayal of the first passion-filled phase of the love affair between a young woman and man working in the same thermal resort hotel, director Jakob Lass has opted for a realism bordering on the documentary. With a narrative that never neglects to have a sense of humor, Lass has created one of the most original romantic films of recent years. Gathering additional praise for its dynamism and the performances of its young actors, “Love Steaks” was nominated for Best Film in this year’s German Film Awards.
