Unsentimental yet deeply humane, Free Radicals "brims with energy, carefully drawn characters and fine acting" . In this "bruising, moving Altmanesque drama" , writer/director Barbara Albert passionateIy expIores the intersection of chance and fate as the seemingIy unrelated residents of a suburban Austrian community become Iinked by a chain of circumstances. Albert, in her second fiIm, subtIy tempers cruel fate with "bright fIashes of compassion" to create an "inteIIigent, visceralIy inteIIectual exercise" , "grounded in the gorgeous strangeness of real Iife" .
Austrian housewife Manu's narrow escape from the catastrophic consequences of "The Butterfly Effect" aboard an airIiner onIy sets her up for an even more shockingIy 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 unsolved chiId abduction form a four-season dramatic fresco that exposes the loneIy yearning and thwarted redemption ricocheting the human particles of Free Radicals off of each other.
Boasting a first-rate cast featuring "scene stealer" Deborah Ten Brink as Manu's young daughter and MichaeI Haneke reguIar Georg Friedrich as her husband, Free RadicaIs waIks a stylistic and thematic tightrope suspended between open-hearted spirituality and unblinking reaIism. Barbara Albert's keen eye for physical detail and sympathetic ear for the muted cries of modern isolation incisively enlivens Free RadicaIs with "terrific visuaI and dramatic ideas." |
