08/22/2021 Ich bin geflogen This movie is one of my favorites. Laden with gorgeous texture, every scene looks like a painting, the costumes are EXQUISITE! Funny, sad, macabre all things I like. I don't understand german and usually think it as pretty harsh, but this is the first time I have found the language to sound beautiful. Ich bin geflogen~!
