The latest film by Tom Tykwer, just like the François Truffaut classic Jules et Jim, is about a three-way relationship between two men and one woman. This time it’s a bisexual affair, situated in today’s Berlin. Hanna and Simon have for years had a happy relationship until they both fall for the same man: the handsome and intelligent biologist Adam. For Hanna, her infatuation starts after a couple of chance encounters; for Simon it’s a surprise that he feels attracted to a man. All three of them try to keep their affairs secret from the others, but that starts getting difficult when Hanna turns out to be pregnant.
Three provides a playful and uninhibited look at sexuality. The erotic scenes are shown explicitly - also those between Simon and Adam. Stylistically, in this intelligent comedy Tykwer returns to the visual bravura of his modern classic Run Lola Run. With many split screens, very sharp, clean images and a catchy soundtrack with cult-pop classics.
