Kots as a girl,
By A Customer
This review is from: Salmonberries (DVD)
Kots in gSalmonberriesh is definitely one of the most difficult characters to analyze in vast number of movies. She does not only have her gender confusion, she also struggles amongst her nationality, class, and roots. Obviously her gender problem is led by this lack of establishing her identity.Unlikely most of the other movies show womenfs body as commodity, Kotsf naked body was just appears instead of trying to make her body objectified. This scene reveals the moviefs core of the subject, which is that this movie tries to overthrow our established theory of Hollywood type movie, nice and cozy. On the contrary to watching the naked body of women in most of the movies make male viewer pleasurable somehow, watching Kots naked does not give anybody comfortable feeling. Plus, there is no stereotypical things happening in this movie. Strange things keep on happening and try to make us defamiliatize. To help this defamiliatization, the class, which Kots in does a good job. The way she lives just looks uncomfortable, cold, and full of confusion toward her identity. The case of confusion, which Kots has is very rare, we can simply obverse what happens when the intersection of confusion of race and gender. Observing this intersection is sort of pitiful because most of the time we feel very uncomfortable watching a middle-aged woman and almost-boy looking girl kiss or trying to develop their relationship. However, this movie tries to make us have queer feeling, thus, in this point, this movie is successive. Another important point of Kotsf disconnected identity is symbolized by Germany, which this country was two completely different countries, however they united together. To unite completely, they have lots of difficulties make everything organized, just like it is really difficult to organize Kotsf identity, and establish stable one. Thus, the collapse of Berlin walls, then trying put them together is paralleled with Kotsf journey of establishing her identity.

Not Worth The Watch Except To See KD Naked I guess,
By
This review is from: Salmonberries (DVD)
I don't consider this a lesbian film at all. There was little chemistry between the two characters. There were many confusing hallucinatory scenes which were simply added. The scenery was beautiful and KD's song (grossly overplayed over and over) is beautiful as well. But honestly, if that's all you can say is this had great scenery, a beautiful theme song and a good acting job by KD...that alone does not make a movie good. Although the acting was well done...the scenes seemed forced and the plot was scattered amongst many scenes trying to be artsy for arts sake.

Simply Awful,
By
This review is from: Salmonberries (DVD)
This is one of those movies that is so self-important that if you don't like it, you are made to feel as if you are intellectually incapable of "getting it." I say that this is a case where the Emperor is naked. This movie is contrived and uninteresting. And heaven forbid that you watch the bonus features... Honestly! You'd think that this movie was up to getting a Nobel Prize.
