Mein halbes Leben

The film is scattered, without a concept, and unedited, so it is difficult to grasp the essence of the documentary. A certain generational statement would be interesting, and the theme is exactly what this film highlights. However, it should have been much more focused, because the few truths that emerge from the confessions can be determined more simply. The young Austrian "European" generation is individualistic and afraid of having children, and when they do decide to have them, they are spoiled only children. They want to enjoy all the possibilities that the still wealthy Europe offers them, but they are afraid of the future and taking responsibility. At the same time, they feel that something is wrong because their parents at the same age already had a secure existence and established families. Overall impression: 45%. (28.10.2010)
