Vitus
(Switzerland/Germany, 2006, 122 minutes)
A 12-year-old piano-playing prodigy realises that his gifts are more of a curse than they seem. Amiable but shapeless comedy-melodrama that would make an ideal kids’ movie if it weren’t so dullishly handled and haphazardly plotted, with as many as three different plot strands crowding each other out.
FMM and Hugofilm present a Vitusfilm production, in association with SRG SSR Idée Suisse, Schweizer Fernsehen, ARTE and Teleclub. Starring Teo Gherghiu, Fabrizio Borsani, Julika Jenkins, Urs Jucker, Bruno Ganz. Directed by Fredi M. Murer; produced by Christian Davi, Christof Neracher, Fredi M. Murer; written by Peter Luisi, Fredi M. Murer, Lukas R. Suter; music by Mario Beretta; director of photography (Schwarz Film colour), Pio Corradi; production designer, Susanne Jauch; costume designer, Sabine Murer; film editor, Myriam Flury.
