The Microscope

The first film in Rudolf Thomes Forms of Love trilogy is the most incisive Its a comedydrame chronicling the ups and downs in the relationship of an unmarried couple Adriana Altaras Vladimir Weigl When she tries to persuade him that they should have a child he escapes the controversy by becoming preoccupied with his new aquarium and microscope Their struggles to settle their differences and accept new responsibilities are presented intelligently realistically and with lowkey wit and irony
