Dates to come
Blond, angelic-looking Benni with her piercing blue eyes is just nine but has already exhausted every social service and children’s aid resource. One minute she’s sulking, the next she explodes into a terrifying rage. Yet all Benni really wants is love from a mother who keeps abandoning her. Shot with a handheld, almost jerky camera and lit with a rosy hue, Nora Fingscheidt’s latest is striking in its look and subject matter. Child actor Helena Zengel’s performance is absolutely astonishing.
