Description:
Based on the 1927 infamous Steglitz Student tragedy. In the volatile era between world wars, two young men share a romantic view of life and its possibilities. They differ greatly: Paul, a shy poet, comes from a working-class family, while daredevil Guenther hales from the wealthy upper class. Rebellious and passionate, both boys reject their parents' empty world. They even create a pact: At the point when love fails them, they will end their lives. One weekend at a bohemian party, this reckless agreement is put to the test...

Average Rating: 
Rating: - a film of questionable morality and uncertain motivation
Ultimately, the movie is done with style, but the subject matter is subjective at best. The fact that it's based on a true story does not make me feel more sympathetic towards the characters. The entire film works as a teleplay, but is unsuccessful as a larger film in truly touching the spirit or bringing about an understanding of the characters or the reasons for doing what they did. In the end, it might be as one of the characters says, "No one will remember or be influenced by this course of events." ... Read More
Rating: - But don't get TOO comfortable
Anyone following the career of Daniel Brühl will want to see this film, especially anyone who felt, rightly, cheated by Brühl's walk-on in "The Bourne Ultimatum." "Love in Thoughts" takes a rather moralistic view of a handful of young people in the years between World Wars I and II. Like young people in movies tend to do, these fall in love too hard and learn to regret it. Paul loves Hilde and Günther loves Hans, but Hilde and Hans love themselves. A fifth character, or wheel, is Elli, who just wants ... Read More
Rating:  - Golden Swan Dive
Achim von Borries directed this German picture based on a real incident. He was able to find work directing a TV show episode after "Love in Thoughts" was completed. August Diehl who has played in European films such as "The Counterfeiter" & "Nothing But Ghosts" won the German Film Critics Association Best Actor Award for his portrayal of Gunther, son of a wealthy family. Daniel Bruhl who has also filmed many European features including "Two Days in Paris" this year and "A Friend of Mine" last year plays ... Read More
Rating:  - Passionately disturbing, ultimately irresistable
Wow. This is an amazing story, told amazingly well. Passionate and
compelling from the first scene to the last, "Love In Thoughts" takes us
into the volatile, romantic, reckless lives of a group of rebellious
students in 1927 Germany.
Based on the story of the infamous Steglitz student tragedy, a group of
romantic-thinking, outside-of-the-box-living 20-somethings make a pact
about how tragically far they'd go for love. Aside from their shared
passion for parties and ... Read More
Rating: - Beautifully realized, but ultimately empty, and dull
Watching Love in Thoughts (Was nützt die Liebe in Gedanken) is like watching grass grow. It's supposed to be a tense and edgy psychological thriller, but I found it to be one of the most stultifying and frustratingly dull movies I've seen in recent years. Absolutely nothing happens in this movie for at least the first thirty minutes, and by then, most viewers will have probably have lost interest.
There's not doubt that Love in Thoughts is attractive as a period drama and it brings a fittingly poetic ... Read More
