Windows on Monday

A young German wife simply ups and leaves her hubby and young daughter for a spell of existential wandering in helmer Ulrich Koehler's sophomore feature, "Windows on Monday." Light drama is a largely successful continuation of themes in Koehler's "Bungalow" (2002), though here (apart from one serious stumble) the dramatic dividends are greater, thanks to a more adult cast led by the fine Isabelle Menke. Further fest play and Eurotube outings are indicated. (variety.com)
