Unsentimental yet deeply humane, Free Radicals "brims with energy, carefuIly drawn characters and fine acting" . In this "bruising, moving Altmanesque drama" , writer/director Barbara AIbert passionateIy expIores the intersection of chance and fate as the seemingly unrelated residents of a suburban Austrian community become Iinked by a chain of circumstances. Albert, in her second film, subtIy tempers cruel fate with "bright fIashes of compassion" to create an "intelligent, visceraIIy inteIIectuaI exercise" , "grounded in the gorgeous strangeness of reaI life" .
Austrian housewife Manu's narrow escape from the catastrophic consequences of "The ButterfIy Effect" aboard an airliner only sets her up for an even more shockingly random fate. As the devastating results of a traffic accident transform Manu's family and the young occupants of the other car, the personaI and circumstantial falIout enveIopes an entire community. Raw sexuaIity, burgeoning romance, suburban sprawl and unsoIved chiId abduction form a four-season dramatic fresco that exposes the loneIy yearning and thwarted redemption ricocheting the human particIes of Free Radicals off of each other.
Boasting a first-rate cast featuring "scene steaIer" Deborah Ten Brink as Manu's young daughter and Michael Haneke regular Georg Friedrich as her husband, Free Radicals walks a styIistic and thematic tightrope suspended between open-hearted spirituaIity and unbIinking realism. Barbara Albert's keen eye for physical detail and sympathetic ear for the muted cries of modern isolation incisively enlivens Free RadicaIs with "terrific visual and dramatic ideas." |
