Floß!, Das

Four guys, one bride. A weekend on a raft.

“Das Floß!” or “Floating!” is a German movie that was released last year (2015). The writer and director is Julia C. Kaiser and it is probably one of her most known works. But honestly, this does not say anything positive about her body of work. The film runs for slightly under 90 minutes and even I as a German film buff cannot say that I am familiar with any of the cast members in here. Most of them are young aspiring actors and actresses who yet have to make a name for themselves. I don’t think any of them succeeded with this film here. Then again, they also suffered from the really uninspired writing. There were so many characters in this story, but none of them were remotely interesting I must say. Very disappointing. The plot may sound interesting the way it is written here on IMDb about four people being on a boat with one woman and there may have been a claustrophobic component where conflict is unavoidable, but this only applies to a quality movies. This one here is no such work. The plot and story seem very random in my opinion and I cannot say that it got even close to being interesting at all. Camera shots on female characters with focus on their (covered) breasts make this actually a fairly embarrassing approach. People on the internet add random !s when they want to make their statement more significant than it actually is and this is also what the filmmaker tried. It is not a relevant movie whatsoever, not a good character study at all. I truly hope Kaiser can step things up if she decides to keep making films in the future.
