　　“Irresistible” is the term that springs to mind when describing this light-footed and humorous story of an impossible love affair between a thief and a lady. Director Nicolette Krebitz handles the fragile balance between the dictates of society and the heart with great care. The fresh breath of freedom blows through a narrative that makes room for a nod to old West Berlin, some gentle teasing of Germany’s French neighbours, and even a ghost that is chased away to make way for new possibilities. But most of all, A E I O U is a passionate love letter to Sophie Rois and, perhaps through her, all the brilliant actors neglected by an industry all too fond of young blood. Well, it turns out that these young players, embodied here by newcomer Milan Herms, not only look up to their more experienced peers, they truly love them.

　　由意大利现代主义电影导演米开朗基罗·安东尼奥尼执导的《蚀》，与《夜》、《奇遇》共同构筑了安东尼奥尼的《现代爱情三部曲》。安东尼奥尼的作品一直关注着人类精神状态的病态与疏离，本片的背后依旧是他所要传达出的人文道德危机和精神的空虚。本片荣获1962年第15届戛纳电影节评审团特别奖，入围1962年第15届戛纳电影节金棕榈奖。
