A dreamy flight forward

You can clearly see the inspiration of Malick and Wong Kar-Wai. A fever dream, a love story marked with a spice of Coming of Age. It is probably the first time that I have seen a Swiss film that was able to completely impress me with such a powerful production. Seen at the Locarno Film Festival.

Trivia
Soul of a Beast is "zero autobiographical," Merz explained, but the film is very much inspired by drastic moments in his life. Merz became a father for the first time at the age of 18, and his best friends died tragically at almost the same time.
