Surprisingly good

This film is a hidden gem, and I recommend it to everyone who likes psychological thrillers situated in the seemingly quiet, laid-back provincial towns, while actually a mystery is slowly appearing, well incorporated in the realistic framework of the story. It is not a Hollywood type of movie, but everything else is there: obsessive love, mysterious woman, ordinary life, crime and revenge. Everything is done with a lot of poetry and good visual shots. It is interesting that, although very young here, Nina Hoss still showed all her absolute talent for the roles of troubled and strange but irresistible women. But the rest of the cast is also very very good.

Makes Burt Bacharach seem sinister

A slow-burning Hitchcock-style thriller.

Toter Mann keeps you guessing until the end and is possibly the only film you'll ever see that makes the song "What the World Needs Now is Love" seem sinister.

I saw it at the 2002 Karlovy Vary film festival. Worth watching if it comes your way.

TOTER MANN (DIDIER BECU)

Originally this movie was made for TV only, but it got shown at some festivals and even if it might be a bit too slowly filmed, it certainly is a movie that's worth looking at. Quite difficult to describe the story without telling something about the plot, so better tell that it is an ordinary urban tale that has some surprising turnings throughout the story. Somewhere "Toter Mann" is a hommage to the German crimi-genre (Tatort and even Derrick), the Hollywoodthriller from the Fatal Attraction-school and cinema verite. Perhaps not so known outside Germany but once again a glamrole for Nina Hoss.

Another great German thriller!

Actually this German movie was made for T.V. It was received so well however that it was showed at the Rotterdam Film-festival in 2002. I don't know what the score was in Holland but I found this one very good. Not being focused on German movies - so far only a few did the trick for me e.g. "Run Lola Run" and "Das Boot" - I can definitely add "Toter Mann" to my list. The story is about a lawyer (Richter) who falls in love with the nice looking Leyla who he meets at a swimming pool. After an 'interesting' night she disappears.... Before Richter has any notice, he is captured in a murder mystery with a riveting climax and a surprising end. Very well played by the cast and superb directing (great colors!) in an intelligent movie that will keep you to the edge of your seat!! 9 out of 10.
