Our suggestions
Goldmund is to study in the monastery Mariabronn. His father sent him there. There he meets a religious monk named Narcissus. He has subjected himself to a strict life and lives completely ascetically.
"A good adaptation of Herman Hesse's eponymous novel, a German Nobel Prize-winning writer. The only small problem is that the literary work is contained in the pages and it is really hard to bring this to the cinema. But the movie works very well, especially if you ignore the book. The soundtrack is well thought out and reminds us of human desires, after all the story itself deals with forbidden feelings. 'Narziss und Goldmund' is a beautiful production and very good at trying to bring the essence of Hesse's novel."
