What kind of a Berlinale is that! The competition starts with three Berlin films and the Berliners have to wait to see them. In the case of Maria Schrader’s “I am your person”, this is particularly unfortunate because the film is topical in many ways. Because it’s about artificial intelligence, about the self-determination of women, about competition in the scientific community. At the same time, the film has an effect beyond the day, as it tells of love and its conditions.
Alma, a woman in her mid-forties, embarks on an experiment that brings her together for three weeks with a humanoid robot who is supposed to be her lover. The background is to counteract the loneliness in society. The woman approaches the matter analytically. She is a scientist herself, but on the historically opposite side, works in the Pergamon Museum. Maren Eggert plays her very tough at first, but this actress is known to be capable of everything.
