“The White Sound”.
(“Das Weisse Rauschen”) - Germany, 2001, Directed by Hans Weingartner. 100 min.
Austrian Hans Weingartner, who studied neuroscience in Vienna and Berlin, and then cinematography at the Cologne Art College, made his debut in 2001 with the film “The White Sound” (Das weisse Rauschen), in which it undertook a very successful attempt to find a visual matching the inner world of a man with a sick mentality.
The young protagonist of his first film, which played brilliantly then still a novice German actor Daniel Brühl, gradually turned into a clinical schizophrenic, but the film’s author was more interested in not madness, but the inertia of others who saw that the guy is not all right, but they didn’t want and could not understand it. Peace of mind protagonist Bruhl finds in the woods or by the sea, with its soothing sound of the surf.

(That film seemed to me correctly shows the mentally illness. It is about young man who starts hearing voices, about the beginning of a mental disorder.)
