ASSIGNED NUMBERS |
|
|
Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context. |

Sylvie Testud is a talented young clarinet player yearning
to break free from deaf parents who don't seem to appreciate her passion for music.
Co-starring Tatjana Trieb, Howie Seago, Emmanuelle Laborit, Sybille Canonica, Matthias
Habich, Alexandra Bloz and Hansa Czypionka. In German & Sign Language, with English
subtitles.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Several kisses. In one scene, we see the bare shoulders and
backs of a man and woman while they kiss in bed (it is suggested that they then have
intercourse); later, we see them lying naked on their sides (the sides of their bare legs
and buttocks are visible and shadows cover their torsos). We see a presumably nude but
sheet-covered man and woman in bed. We see a girl's bare shoulders while she's bathing; we
also see a woman's bare legs when she's in a bathtub. We see a girl in a bra and a nude
woman's bare back as she walks into a lake and begins to swim.
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - A man slaps a girl in the face and pushes a girl out a
door. A man throws wine on a woman's face during an argument. A boy is dragged from a room
and locked in his bedroom. We see and hear a girl urinating on a toilet.
PROFANITY 1 - One scatological reference and a few mild obscenities are seen
in subtitles. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Deafness, death, dysfunctional family relationships, falling
in love, envy, bitterness, fulfilling one's dreams.
MESSAGE - The gap between the hearing and the deaf world can be bridged with
love and understanding.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
