Stellet Licht too me is a truly original film.camera work is fabulous.the angles used , the coloring...great frames. Reygades's story uses a Menonites(i presume) community situated in the south of the US.I did'nt know these German descendants still speak their old German accents...amazing to listen to their language.Reygades tell us a story of adultery and beauty & love...in an original way.Here there is no sneaky fooling around but totally honesty between husband and wife. The actors are soo natural in the persons they play...the two main actresses are beautiful in a very unconventional way.the plot is very surprising. a spiritual film worth seeing that stays with you.The 'death song ' in the end is chillingly beautiful and reminiscent of primitive tribal-sounds... a magic film !
