Amour fou

Year: 2014

Country: Austria, Luxembourg, Germany

Plot: Berlin, the Romantic Era. Young poet Heinrich wishes to conquer the inevitability of death through love, yet is unable to convince his skeptical cousin Marie to join him in a suicide pact. It is whilst coming to terms with this refusal, ineffably distressed by his cousin's insensitivity to the depth of his feelings, that Heinrich meets Henriette, the wife of a business acquaintance. Heinrich's subsequent offer to the beguiling young woman at first holds scant appeal, that is until Henriette discovers she is suffering from a terminal illnessSet in Berlin, 1810, the movie tells the story of Heinrich von Kleist, a despondent young poet/dramatist, and his lover Henriette Vogel, the wife of a business acquaintance, in the final stages of their lives.
