‘Lyle’, Cool Concept, Poor Execution.
The idea of Rosemary's baby but with lesbian partners drew me in, and I was anticipating what the film had in store with its reimagining. Unfortunately, it all felt a little too vague to leave an impact.
Einsteins Baby
Melissa (38) and Nadja (23) live together in Berlin. Melissa, a tomboyish beauty, is professionally successful but privately rather frustrated and damaged by men. Nadja is an intelligent, sensitive girl who likes to hide her gentle femininity behind a facade of aggressive cheekiness, and the harmonious coexistence of the two women is disrupted by Nadja's sudden desire to have a child. The hunt for the ideal father for her "elite baby" begins. He should be strong, intelligent, sensitive and lovable. Just as they imagine the only acceptable man who has ever existed in their opinion: Albert Einstein. But unfortunately he is already dead! In the search for their "EINSTEIN", men are presented to us with their quirks and neuroses, victims of our "modern industrial society".
