The author filmmaker Christian Petzold is a master of Suggestive. With his Munich “Polizeiruf 110″ it meets all expectations: His film questions the rules of the genre and performs with Matthias Brandt and Barbara Auer two terrific actors together
A man and a woman standing by car in the woods. The two discuss tense, where the road now really goes long. Lost it out of the car and push casually on the body to which you were called. Oh, yes – the Dead: A woman Möbelfabrik Antin was strangled, her white dog lies next to her, also strangled. Later, on the return trip will be the coming of Hamburg Commissioner Constanze Hermann (Barbara Auer) colleagues Hanns of Meuffels (Matthias Brandt) again point where you had taken a wrong turn: “I’ve been right.” Then he has grudgingly again the last word. “A good loser, you’re obviously not,” she says. Yes, that was a weakness of his, “to compensate I’m resentful,” he counters.
At a high level
As people approach each and differentiate while gradually revealing something of himself , is the major theme of the currently most interesting German film author, Christian Petzold (“Yella”, “Barbara”). But something goes well for a German TV crime? It’s actually very good. This is also due to the obvious desire to want to show something else here again as onrushing police columns, suitcases sluggish Kriminaltechniker and squeezed in desolate housing estates survivors. For this we get to know a slightly stressed Ermittlerduo which lost in the German forest and then by something as superfluous as a broken woman shoe heel will be thwarted, whereupon it once ends up in the Munich suburb when Fast Schuster.
The “Polizeiruf 110″ of the Bavarian Radio has made it from the beginning the task of lifting the Sunday evening format to another level. The focus is always the acting unmistakably scale of Matthias Brandt between labile based needs and autism chief superintendent of Hanns Meuffel. Moreover, the personnel changes before and behind the camera; the cases have to be based on the manuscripts of their directors and not the other way around: After Dominik Graf or Leander Haussmann leads in “circles” now so Christian Petzold Director. The auteur brings with Hans Fromm (camera) and Bettina Böhler (average) also equal with its proven team.
The result is a so ravishingly beautiful as atmospherically dense meta-thriller, the self-deprecating in the set pieces of the genre a maketh surprising composition. The husband as the prime suspect soon appear (abysmal: Justus von Dohnányi). A witness claims to have seen exactly how he strangled his wife in the place in the forest. But those who come for the act in question have an alibi.
“I’m Not In Love”
The trick lies in how the discrepancy of luck, perception and reality is distributed here surprisingly just about suspects as investigators, accompanied by the sound of all the love sick: “I’m Not In Love” from 10CC. Meuffels investigation work in the environment of the victims evolves to reflect about why life is all too often so banal and cliched, “how to think”. Under this surface are hurt, passion and emotional coldness dangerously close to each other.
Petzold puts his plot suggestively against the rule, according to which the resolution of the case is to bring general relief. “That was a good story,” says Meuffels nevertheless at the end and Everts conspiratorially a disposable glove over the fire alarms, so Constanze Hermann can unmolested smoking one in the office.
