THE LOOK features Charlotte Rampling in a series of reflective conversations with artists, friends, and one-time collaborators such as novelist Paul Auster and photographers Peter Lindbergh and Juergen Teller, revealing the personality and philosophies of one of our most iconic screen stars.

With a mixture of documentary recordings and working with amateur actors who speak in their own dialect, the authentic atmosphere of a real village is re-imagined in a fictional story and the deep identity conflicts in it are revealed.

This epic documentary/drama about arguably the greatest German author of the 20th century is really fascinating. Watching Elisabeth Mann-Borgese return to the places of her childhood is quite a moving experience and you feel the wisdom and the experience this old lady can share with the world. And it is a great gift for all of us that she did so shortly before her death. What a great family story this is! Everybody does a tremendous job in acting their roles…. This mixture of historical movie and documentary is just about perfect and may establish a new genre.
