CICAE (International Confederation of Art Cinemas) Jury’s Prize 2021
An interesting idea realized in a very artistic way: a story that has several layers; a narrative floating on the border of utopia-dystopia; a critique of the complex, often conflicting, almost impossible expectations of our modern age. I Am Your Man presents the emptiness of human relationships with humor; holds a hard mirror to the immediate fulfillment of desires as motivation, to the “wasteful, consumer culture” that characterizes not only our relations with material goods but also fellow human beings. All of this is accompanied with great acting; poetical scenes and the strong messages. First we feel empathy toward Alma, the protagonist and then with the android Thomas. The 105-minute German film I Am Your Man, is attractive, easy-to-digest, entertaining, fresh, yet thought-provoking, and sensitive film meant for the general public of art cinemas.
