Clasificación de Phil-249
Highly gifted mathematician and computer specialist (Bruno Ganz) develops a chess program that should be able to defeat every opponent but one day loses against the world champion. Therefore the mathematician "swears vengeance" and becomes a chess pro himself, but his passion for the game turns to sick paranoia.
This could be seen as a critical movie about the chess scene but there's more to it. Ganz (exceptional) plays a man who's trapped in his own dream world and finally succumbs to it (there are parallels to the later "Erfinder" (Inventor) Ganz stars in, and other parallels to the abysmal "Knight moves" with Christopher Lambert). Furthermore, the whole film is an allegory for a politic and economic system that's become unbearable. It's only drawback are it's TV roots. Otherwise this could have been a great cineastic pleasure.

This is certainly one of the greatest historical movies that's ever been put on celluloid. The massacre of St.Bartholomew's night (1572) and it's aftermath which led to the fourth religious war in France is used as the background for a drama.
Not only it's an impressive family story imbedded in intrigue, desire, sexual excess, murder, sacrifice, love and hate - it also depicts in a very elegant manner the dark and the light side of Renaissance, the nobles' mentality and their mode of living. The dialogues are filled with superstition, fatalism and hope but the overall emphasis lays on connecting religion, church, state, past and present to an authentic cosmos.

This time it's scouts/kids vs. gun-runners/killers. The plot is exchangeable, the faces are exchangeable, the fights are exchangeable.
Nothing new here or so it seems... But there's something very odd and it's got to do with the character played by Meredith Salenger who seeks revenge on the crooks who've killed her family right before her eyes. Salenger's traumatic conversion from happy and likeable country girl into gun-tooting, vengeful vigilante doesn't help the whole movie (which rapidly goes downhill afterwards) but it remains a very impressive sequence. >
