Rare Example Of Excellent German Film Making

The movie deals with one of Germany's most notorious and controversial crime cases, so it is obviously difficult for me to comment on the movie's most crucial point, its veracity. Nevertheless I had the impression of a truthful, unpretentious, and extremely well made piece of film making, which is all the more laudable since it was "only" made for television. "Der Fall Vera Brühne" proves that there can be world - class cinema from Germany if film makers drop their pretensions and world - market aspirations and concentrate on their craft.

Wissenswertes
This TV-production was a big prestige project for German station Sat1 at a time when the station was moving towards more ambitious and expensive TV-movies. While critics liked this movie a lot, it was a huge flop with the audience, probably in part due to its excessive length (both parts ran for more than three hours each including commercials). As a result of this, Sat 1 largely refrained from making more TV movies and now only produces about one event-movie per year.

Alternative Versionen
Originally produced by private TV station Sat 1 in 2001, the mini-series was bought by the ARD in 2007 and re-cut. The new version is only 180 minutes long and focuses more on Vera Brühne herself then her surroundings.
