Rating: 4/5 -- Mr. Dresen and his actors create an atmosphere of reckless vulnerability thatâ(TM)s immediately compelling and artistically intriguing. We want to explore this relationship further.

3 stars out of 4 -- [T]hese performances are so quietly effective that we watch, absorbed.

Rating: 3/4 -- When it comes to matters of the heart, we are never old or ugly, just helpless, and Cloud 9 lays that simple reality on the line. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- As always, Dresen has turned his camera on ordinary people leading ordinary lives, but as the tiny details build into a complete, three-dimensional portrait, one is, finally, loath to leave their company.

Rating: 1/5 -- A volleyball "comedy" that has just as many laughs as a gall bladder operation. Full Review

Rating: 1.5/4 -- A lame, formula sports comedy so tame and lazily executed that it doesn't even succeed on an exploitation level. Burt Reynolds deserves better, much better. Full Review

Thankfully, there's not one iota of golden-pond condescension in Andreas Dresen's film. His all but clinical observation of quotidian behavior induces empathy -- not sympathy.

Product Description:

A woman has to decide if she wants to stay with her husband after three decades together in this drama with a comic undertow from Germany. Inge (Ursula Werner) is an ordinary woman in her mid-sixties who is married to Werner (Horst Rehberg). Inge and Werner have been together for over 30 years, and while their relationship is still a happy one, it's clear that in most respects their lives have fallen into a rut. Inge makes extra money mending clothes for others, and when she drops off a pair of trousers for one of her customers, Karl (Horst Westphal), he invites her in for a moment. Inge and Karl sense an immediate attraction to one another, and after a few minutes together they repair to the bedroom. Unwilling to lie to her husband, Inge confesses her infidelity to Werner, but at the same time she admits she wants to continue her affair with Karl. After all their years of marriage, Werner isn't interested in an open relationship, and their daughter, Petra (Steffi Kühnert), is appalled by her mother's brazen behavior. Unable to have her cake and eat it too, Inge realizes she must choose between a man she's loved most of her adult life and one who has brought a new excitement to her autumn years. WOLKE 9 (aka CLOUD 9) was an official selection at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.
