Stopped on Track (Halt auf Freier Strecke): Cannes Review

3:15 PM PDT 5/15/2011 by Kirk Honeycutt

Andreas Dresen's film, about a cancer victim, is a tough slog through the process of physical and mental deterioration.

As much as one may admire the effort taken to present death by brain cancer in a realistic, unsentimental and dignified manner in Andreas Dresen’s Stopped on Track (Halt auf Freier Strecke), the fact remains it’s still a movie about death by brain cancer. And at Christmas time to boot. Yes, you admire the movie but do you want to subject yourself to this when bad times, ill heath and death itself await us all?
