Kate (Charlotte Rampling) und Geoff (Tom Courtenay) stecken mitten in den Vorbereitungen zur großen Feier ihres 45. Hochzeitstages, als ein Brief aus der Schweiz eintrifft. Man hat die Leiche von Geoffs Jugendliebe Katya in einem Gletscher entdeckt, eingefroren und im Eis konserviert, Jahrzehnte nach ihrem Unfalltod. Nach und nach geraten Kate und Geoff in einen Sog von Erinnerung und Vorstellung, von nicht gestellten Fragen und nie gegebenen Antworten, bis sie schließlich vor einer ähnlichen Entscheidung stehen wie vor 45 Jahren.

(50th KVIFF) Excellent conjugal drama. Based on the notes, I was expecting something more intense and expressive, but the drama takes place mainly within the character of Charlotte Rampling, who portrays it mostly through her expressions. That requires quite some attention and empathy from the viewer. Unlike this festival Romanians, 45 Years offers a real chance to grab on to something, to relate to the protagonist and feel her suffering. I understood her. 80 %

A movie that’s based solely on the acting performance of Charlotte Rampling. I was basically only watching her, and only because I would have fallen asleep otherwise. The slow storytelling style didn’t work for me, especially since Charlotte could say anything that she needed to say with her eyes alone. Unlike the movie itself, which didn’t say anything at all.

A beautiful film about how old age isn't easy, but can still be moving and beautiful. The strength of this film lies mainly in the fact that it's presented with perfect ease and a sense of ensuring it's not just a sentimental mess. The reality is that the performances and the director's guidance are the counterpart to an otherwise fairly ordinary story, showing that human life simply isn't ordinary.
