The Microscope (1988)
Directed by Rudolf Thome
Overview
The first film in Rudolf Thome’s “Forms of Love” trilogy is the most incisive. It’s a comedy-drame chronicling the ups and downs in the relationship of an unmarried couple (Adriana Altaras, Vladimir Weigl). When she tries to persuade him that they should have a child, he escapes the controversy by becoming preoccupied with his new aquarium and microscope. Their struggles to settle their differences and accept new responsibilities are presented intelligently, realistically and with low-key wit and irony.
