Dominik Graf – Der Rote Kakadu aka The Red Cockatoo (2006)
Quote:
Rock ‘n’ roll comes to Germany just ahead of the Berlin Wall in “The Red Cockatoo.” Stylish period piece is weighed down by a too-familiar love triangle, generating nostalgia for a difficult time not nearly as successfully as clear predecessor “Good Bye Lenin!”
Unlike helmer Wolfgang Becker’s “Good Bye Lenin!,” “Cockatoo” will work best for those with some knowledge of the early days of the German Democratic Republic and tension generated by the Wall throughout the country.
Helmer Dominik Graf has all the visual materials in place, but story suffers from failing to communicate sparks of either love or social upheaval that made Becker’s pic catch fire.
Thesps are appealing but generally predictable. Young Riemelt employs the same wide-eyed impassivity displayed in “Napola” while Schwarz, last seen internationally in offbeat “Kammerflimmern,” is easy on the eyes. Newcomer Zehrfeld has a fiery combustibility.
Tech credits are slick, with production and costume design taking center-stage. Period tunes keep the feet tapping.
