Synopsis

“Amour Fou” is inspired by the life and death of the poet Heinrich von Kleist and his partner in death, Henriette Vogel. However, rather than being a biographical portrait, the film tells the parable on the ambivalence of love. “Amour Fou” deals with the ambivalence and absurdity inherent in the very concept of two people committing suicide because of their love for one another. This act aims on the yearning to escape the inevitability of death through love, to avoid dying alone and to oppose the power of mortality over humankind by dictating the terms of one´s death. However, the fundamental absurdity lies in the fact that the joint act cannot be experienced jointly in any complete sense, since love is fickle and everybody – in the end – must die alone.
