The american trailer ist really, really bad. Hopelessly kitsch.
Schloendorff himself has a reputation as a director of "Autorenfilme" - author's films. That is exactly what "Homo faber" is supposed to be. an Adaption of a famous book. Schloendorff eradicated much of the mythological connotations, except for the obvious oedipus analogies. Just as well. you can't take everything into a movie. but to happily ignore the marvellous work of Max Frisch and thinking that the title "voyager" is substantial for the film! To compare it with other kitsch films! How sad. And Julie Delpy's acting is really not helping matters.
