Storyline
Meet Me in Montenegro
In this personal, inter-continental love story two ex-lovers, Lina
(Linnea Saasen), a Norwegian dancer and Anderson (Alex Holdridge), an
American filmmaker, meet by chance during a visit to Berlin. Their
romance is rekindled in spite of the fact that they are both moving to
opposite ends of the earth in the next forty-eight hours. Meanwhile
Anderson's friends, Stephen (Rupert Friend) and Friederike (Jennifer
Ulrich), toy with exploring the sexual boundaries of their long-term
relationship. Berlin nestles these couples in her outstretched streets,
while they wrestle with the perennial challenge of finding love,
recognizing it and keeping it alive. Written by

Stunning Visuals, Tepid Dialog
I felt this movie had
stunning visuals which is not surprising because the visuals were shot
first, and then a movie, loosely based on the main characters' real
life, was written later. The dialog was mediocre and clichéd, e.g., when
the main character, Anderson, is jumping off a cliff he exclaims that
he have never felt so alive. Another example is when Anderson's friend
or agent asks him "if he got laid". The editing was instrumental in
defining the mood of a scene, for example, when they were in a club the
quick cuts showed the energy of the scene.The plot was somewhat
predictable for the main couple but I was not sure what would happen
with the secondary characters of Steve and Friederike. Alex Holdridge's
acting leaves something to be desired...but he was the
writer/director/editor and felt it easiest to tell his story himself.
