Premiering in Locarno’s Piazza Grande, I Is Another could stretch its legs commercially with niche distributors beyond Germany. At the opening, unbeknownst to the Kerstens, another couple has booked the cabin next to them: Hedda (Pachner) and Winfried Wohmann (Timocin Ziegler), a reporter and photographer, respectively, from the German Democratic Republic. Plus, it turns out that Hedda, her name echoing that of Henrik Ibsen’s famously complex character, is no exemplar of honesty herself. Winfried has become an alcoholic, tortured by the memory of atrocities he committed as a soldier during the war. Randau orchestrates these shifts in power well, building up suspense with strong assists from editor Joana Scrinzi and an understated score by Bernhard Fleischmann.
