Die Macht der Gefühle

An organic and densely layered meditation on the intangible, irrational mechanism of human emotion. Die Macht der Gefühle (The Power of Emotion) explores how chance and destiny determine our emotions and explains that emotion isn't to be confused with sentimentality. Emotion is ancient and more powerful than any art form. The film looks at young couples who run into difficulties as they try to translate their experiences of love into clear decision-making. Notable for its provocative use of non-narrative segments, documentary footage and music, interspersed throughout the overarching story in the service of deep philosophical inquiry.
