I saw this movie at the Quad on W 13th this past evening. It is really a brilliant movie. I don't think this trailer gives the story or the actors their due. It is the most quietly intense movies I have ever seen, so many layers, wonderful story telling, incredible performances all around. Thank you to you all and in Hebrew and German
I saw this film yesterday and I cried so hard! Even when I remember certain scenes, tears come out again. Tim Kalkhof is absolutely fantastic. Only german actors like him or Franka Potente moved me so deeply. I'm wondering why...
Maybe because Germany produces some fantastic actors and fantastic films. I actually seek out German movies to watch because the quality is always so exceptional.
Murray Aronson What happens at the end? I want to know; I don't plan to see it and I can't pirate it yet and no one has updated the Wikipedia page. So what happens at the end?
Yeah, that was heartbreaking! All this time he was stoic and held it together, despite the fact that he was hurting. But when he burst into tears, I also starting crying. Great acting on everyone's part as well.
I've had this film, I just haven't had the opportunity to watch it, until only yesterday. I really enjoyed it alot. I'm glad there is more budget & great writing & great acting in films for which previously there was thought to be no audience for.
A tale that is replete with the sumptuous scent of baking: pastries sorrowfully shaped and steeped in suffering and sensuality. This is a simply stunning film: the plot is a passionate and poetical web of dangerously desperate desire to fill the void of loss. The protagonist undertakes a perilous journey to be close to the family and foreign environment of his deceased lover. A pitilessly painful film devoid of all sentimentality; maybe you need to have experienced a similar situation to fully appreciate its true depth and diameter… Tim Kalkhof and Sarah Adler are consummately convincing. I give it ten scintillating, celestial stars.
Lovable movie, perfect & real things. Lol But what a big difference between Jew’s culture & Latin, Europe or North American people. No drama just trying to take things in the way they are. 👏👏👏
ALERT! some spoiler I totally judged (in a bad way) this movie because why the hell does he have a face to go to the families? After i watched it. It's good... It was brilliant. You really need to see the film. I understand him now. The actor for the role of "Thomas" is really great. I love the ending. I alway thought why not call him and get together since i felt they already loved each other, but i guess that is also a good decision not to approach him but heart breaking tho.
Such a beautiful movie,it took my breath away. Very heartbreaking and just stunning ❤️😢 I cried so much watching it,and I can’t stop thinking about it.
You're right. However, is like a mix of "Le fate Ignoranti" and "La finestra di fronte - Facing windows" (concerning the bakery and the homosexual love). Both movies directed by Turkish-Italian director Ferzan Ozpetek. Look for the film "Facing Windows" and you will see !
I saw "La finestra di fronte" but I had completely removed it since I did not really care for it, the cake making montage sequence to the beat of "Ma che freddo fa" was abysmal and unforgivable, but now that you bring it up... you might be right.
The trailer was so good up until the point where the female shows up If your making a film about a gay love why do they always feel the need to throw a women into the story I always hate that and that’s coming from me a women 🙄🙄
If someone could explain to me - sorry SPOILERS - how did the police find out she wasn't kosher, I'd appreciate it. And what was not kosher in the first place? The oven using no one knew about? Or the "other" thing they did in the kitchen? I'm not fluent in Judaism obviously, so feel free to elaborate.
Thomas is not Jewish and therefore anything he makes is not kosher. Since the pastries didn’t show up until Thomas got there, the community put two and two together and realized that the very obviously non Jewish baker was cooking in the kosher cafe. To be fair , Moti gave several warnings to Anat about it but that’s the thing about love, it changes our priorities.
That's not even a gay movie, and there are not even gay characters in the film. Maybe it had, but the director decided to make him straight. Disgusting.
It’s not a Hollywood movie, so the end is not ‘and then they lived happily ever after.’ It’s complicated, though I think they come to terms with the whole mess of life.
Ooooh Hooooneeeey. By the critics I've seen, I'm sure the movie is good. But am I the only getting tired of depressing gay dramas with serious problems about self esteem?
Oren is. Well he is dead. Oren was a jerk! See All the people he hurt.And the baker is a masochist for putting himself through all that. Even after Oren died.
I have to apologize for my english, but why do all the people like this movie? It's about a man cheating on his wife with a man! You think that's good? The moral is going to ruin.
And it's happening everywhere. Do you honestly think that if no one makes this kind of movie that this situation doesn't exist? It's been happening since time in memorial.
@@tyetus1010 I'm aware that there are still people who do this. But just because there are people who do that, it does not mean that it has to be tolerated. There is also something like torture, so you have to shoot a film about where that is tolerated? I mean, the movie itself does not mean anything at first, neither good nor bad about adultery. He just describes it. What is frightening are the reactions of the people here. What a twisted society, which also finds the bad good. Put yourself in the position of the woman. But wait, I just think because the husband had a homosexual affair, it does not make it so bad anymore and we have to "tolerate" that. Just this society.
Thank you for speaking up!! I really appreciate your take on this film. These days it's not so easy to see the real message behind the cultural and artistic wrapping around films. I almost thought this movie seems ok despite the message, but your comment has put things into right perspectives. Thank you~👍
ich denke in dem film geht es darum, eine „schlechte“/ moralisch verwerfliche tat wiedergutzumachen. das, was deutschland noch immer vergeblich versucht. und dass das gar nicht so leicht ist, wie man annimmt, auch wenn man sich noch so sehr bemüht. und es geht um aufarbeitung auf beiden seiten. um menschlichkeit und liebe, die von tief innen kommt, ich kann den film nur empfehlen.
@@frauilsebilse Unabhängig davon, ob der Ehemann seine Frau nun mit einem Mann oder mit einer Frau betrogen hat, letzendlich hat er sie betrogen. Man kann die Perspektive natürlich so drehen, dass die Situation aus dem Blickwinkel der Männer aus harmlos erscheint, *Ironie an* die beiden haben sich doch nur ,,geliebt" und konnten ja nicht anders. *Ironie aus* Aber sieht man die Perspektive von der Frau, sieht es ganz bitter aus. Wie muss sie sich fühlen? Was hat das mit Liebe zu tun? Mit Menschlichkeit? Rein garnichts. Nicht nur, dass in diesem Film Homosexualität mehr als toleriert, nein sogar verschönert und empfohlen wird, es wird die Ehe zwischen Mann und Frau in den Dreck gezogen und als eine Art ,,veraltetes langweiliges Model" dargestellt. Ich bin seid 2 Jahren verheiratet. Was ich mir von Bekannten und Arbeitskollegen für Sprüche anhören musste. ,,Wer will denn heutzutage noch heiraten. Nur eine Person ein Leben lang hält man doch nicht aus..etc" Ofr Antikommtare was Ehe angeht. Aber wenn ein schwules Paar heiratet feiert die ganze Welt!
Super boring movie. The lead character says only a handful of lines for the entire movie, playing up Germanic stoicism. It tried to be one of those minimalist indy films but it fell flat. This film got so many accolades because of its filming location and focus on Jewish culture, but the script was mediocre. And the hetero sex scene was so random and didn't add anything.
"The cakemaker" could have been a way better movie if the actress in the leading role wasn't ugly. Her choice was in really poor taste and so unromantic...

Hi Robert. Thanks. Will go see in Quad.

Aaaaaaaaagh, there is NOTHING else like this absurdly gorgeous poignant film. Multiple years have passed, and I’m still painfully in love with it.
This is one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. Gave it a shot on Netflix not expecting much and was blown away.
What was beautiful about it? What are we supposed to believe happened at the end of the movie?
Best Film ever!!Ich habe niemals gedacht dass so einen Film so viele Emotionen auf Einmal hervorrufen kann! Ein Meisterwerk!!!
Another Israeli-German movie that left me to bits. So beautifully made, ❤ another gem is Walk on Water
“I come here for your cakes” 😏
🍑 but of course
I saw it yesterday. A very Sensitive and beautiful movie
I saw it this afternoon. I agree that it's a sensitive and beautiful movie.
Murray Aronson What happens at the end? I want to know; I don't plan to see it and I can't pirate it yet and no one has updated the Wikipedia page. So what happens at the end?
You really ought to see The Cakemaker and find out. I don't like writing spoilers. I'll say it has an end with promise?
So the gay cake maker falls into with the window? But he's gay. Lol
@@mimimarcus the whole movie is like the poster for it. They are comforting one another, revisiting the memory of a person who they both loved.
The trailer held my breath all its run time...... Beautiful!!!! And that piano score!!!!
The moment he bursted out crying ...
Yeah, that was heartbreaking! All this time he was stoic and held it together, despite the fact that he was hurting. But when he burst into tears, I also starting crying. Great acting on everyone's part as well.
I saw this movie today. A beautiful, different and unique story. I loved it!
On the contrary, it's a great movie, a beautiful story with fantastic actors!
A beautiful movie... touching and intimate. Truly a gem!
I've had this film, I just haven't had the opportunity to watch it, until only yesterday. I really enjoyed it alot. I'm glad there is more budget & great writing & great acting in films for which previously there was thought to be no audience for.
Billy.
This is a great film.
I have watched it several times and loved it.
Saw it in Chicago..This is a wonderful. deeply touching movie..
Such a beautiful movie with tender scenes ❤️
Multiple levels movie: psychology, life philosophy, history , sociology , GREAAAAT
A beautifully layered movie. Very well acted & directed. So worth it.
I saw this tonight, and it was a very beautiful movie
My companion died suddenly in 2016. This was tough to deal with on occasion.
My deepest condolences ❤️ these circumstances can be incredibly hard
That person still among your life.
@Wally G.
Thank you, that was very kind.
@@bessieyuill7888
Thank you. It has been the hardest time of my life.

this movie broke my heart... i mean i never thought a movie could affect me this personal
Looks super interesting. Can't wait
I'm looking forward to watch this movie. Cain't wait.

just saw it and although iam not a fan of love movies i must say, wow! calm and simply beautiful and for sure worth watching.
A beautifully sad film
Very much looking forward to this.
Two words " MIND BLOWING"
*slaps him* “SNAP OUT OF IT!”
A great movie!
this movie will play at the Seattle Jewish Film Festival which runs March through April 2018
Ilona Lohrey thank you so much for the information😊😊
Just Saw this movie. And yeah this is wonderful.
When the ugly sobbing happened, I too was ugly sobbing--snot and spit too.
I see he likes to have his cake, and eat it too.... hold the cherry.
Enjoy this
💓

Anyone know the song that plays about 37 minutes into the movie after Anat leaves the cafe?
this looks amazing! I'm hooked
So anything left to watch?
I think Trailer has already showed the whole movie.
Such a beautiful movie,it took my breath away. Very heartbreaking and just stunning ❤️😢
I cried so much watching it,and I can’t stop thinking about it.
where can i find this movie?
It's a little late, but should you live in England it's in the BFI Film Festival
It is starting to be shown in the U.S. It is showing soon in a local art theater in Dallas so I assume it must be showing elsewhere.
Netflix

Looks very similar to 'Le fate ignoranti - His Secret Life' (2001) - just an accident or perhaps a "homage"?
You're right. However, is like a mix of "Le fate Ignoranti" and "La finestra di fronte - Facing windows" (concerning the bakery and the homosexual love). Both movies directed by Turkish-Italian director Ferzan Ozpetek. Look for the film "Facing Windows" and you will see !
I saw "La finestra di fronte" but I had completely removed it since I did not really care for it, the cake making montage sequence to the beat of "Ma che freddo fa" was abysmal and unforgivable, but now that you bring it up... you might be right.
Interesting film. I wouldn't allow another man to strike me.
i want to watch this
The trailer was so good up until the point where the female shows up
If your making a film about a gay love why do they always feel the need to throw a women into the story I always hate that and that’s coming from me a women 🙄🙄
Trying to find for to watch.
Where can i watch this film with english subtitles ? Anyone help ?
It's online. Google it

@@CP-tq7id Thanks so much for explaining. Next time a bit sooner, okay? I has been two years!
Why she forced herself on him?? And why did he finally had sex with her??
Great beautiful made movie, don't expect the gay drama of every gay movie, this goes on a different way.
That's not even a gay movie, and there are not even gay characters in the film. Maybe it had, but the director decided to make him straight. Disgusting.
Where can I watch this?? :(
Online...Google it
Looks interesting, but it seems they showed almost the whole plot in the trailer. This has become quite of a nuisance recently.
forlandom Hardly. The trailer barely scratches the surface. Many layers in this cake.
OMFG... if you want to see this movie, don´t see this trailer, it´s a HUGE SPOILER of the whole movie.....
Yes, it basically IS the movie. Ridiculous. Glad I didn't see this before watching it last night...
Saw this at the Chicago film festival....it was alright. Very slow moving...
European films are usually pretty slow.
😭
saw this yesterday. 3 out of 5 from me. Good movie. just don't expect lots of action. when I say action I mean people moving or reactiing.
Ugh.... this looks depressing as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuk.
It is not.
Andy Smith Its more bittersweet than depressing.
Not at all. Very uplifting.
this movie is just wonderful, it was chosen to represent israel for the foreign language film Oscar...
It’s not a Hollywood movie, so the end is not ‘and then they lived happily ever after.’ It’s complicated, though I think they come to terms with the whole mess of life.
And in Italy how do I look at it? 😓

Situational,,,, Never would have happened under any other circumstances. I guess it could happen, a straight man fell in love with me years ago.
But does a real gay man like men only!
Tonyburgessful yes that’s what gay means???
How explicit are the sex scenes?
There are only like 2 or 3 of them but they’re not explicit at all.
Huh. For an anti-gay character, that dude made such a sissy slap.
Boring
This is fucked up
Why gay movie always looks sad? Where's the rainbow and the unicorn?

What daf.. I didn't know gay porn is being recommended on my TH-cam feed now
Raham Wyndsor Hmm, that just makes everyone wonder what you’ve been watching for this to be on your recommendations... 🤔😏
If you think this is porn, wait until you see actual gay porn. Please grow up.
"The cakemaker" could have been a way better movie if the actress in the leading role wasn't ugly.
Her choice was in really poor taste and so unromantic...
Shame on you!
What a stupid comment.
