A strange movie
28 September 2017
Warning: Spoilers
"Life's a breeze" tells the story of an elderly woman with a lot of children that aren't really able to stand on their own feet. When they want to do her a favor and give her house a make-over, they accidentally throw out almost a million euros in an old mattress. From there a wild chase throughout the city begins to get back the money.

In general the film looks like one of those independent productions that center around a dysfunctional family but still manages to find the beauty within. However, the beginning as well as the ending come somewhat surprising and leave the film without a proper frame. Additionally, I find it kind of in-consequent to base a movie with the depicted characters on a favor that would cost them a huge amount of money that they obviously can't have in their situation. Surely, there are a lot of beautiful moments and there is some wisdom in the message, still the last bit is missing that makes this movie something really special.

All in all this is not a story you've never heard before but it is definitely worth a watch. If you're looking for a nice little movie that leaves you in a somewhat melancholic mood, this could be your choice.
