In the Fade

Hors De Nulle Part = [Aus Dem Nichts]

It is no slight to Diane Kruger, who was deservedly prized at Cannes for her fine performance, to think that this film has probably won praise more for its message than for its inherent quality (though the editing is technically very good). The drama is presented as a triptych, but only the middle section (the trial) is genuinely transfixing. Why the title 'Into the Fade' was chosen for foreign distribution is a mystery. The original German title translates as 'out of the blue' or 'out of nowhere', which seems a lot more appropriate to what happens in the film. In any case, definitely worth seeing.
