Be My Star

Grisebach doesn't approach her characters, Nicole and Schöps and their feelings for each other, with any particular sentimental predisposition. Rather than place demands on her characters, she merely observes them. With humor but without irony. She is never calculating so as to exploit emotions. No one needs to fight or fondle passionately for feelings to surface. Nobody needs to have a pound of steel thrust into them or to speak slang in order to illustrate a lifestyle. (Urs Richter)
