Here's another unheard of foreign film which, in all likliehood, will stay unheard of, at least in the U.S. It played in 2 theaters in NYC and today is the last day. It contains one of the best performances by an actress I have seen in quite a while - and I saw Frances McDormand in "3 Billboards". Diane Kruger plays a woman whose husband and son are killed in a terrorist bombing. After a period of mourning she is bent on revenge, and she was so good and so convincing in her grief you could almost feel her pain. The other noteworthy performance in the picture - and there are several that are noteworthy - was that of the Defense Attorney, played to perfection by Johannes Kirsch, who summons up all the hatred you can spare.
I guess you'll have to wait until it comes out on DVD, but you won't be disappointed. Foreign films and Indies are the wave of the future, since Hollywood has forfeited its place in the motion picture field. Screenplay and acting win the day - substance over form is the ticket in 2018.

The theme is more than delicate. The story is solide constructed. And Diane Kruger gives more than a good work. A German woman, her Turkish husband, their son.. An a Nazi couple. A murder. A trial. And a revenge. More important - the nuances defining the aspects of tragedy. A good director, using in fine manner , his inspiration and skills. The result - an admirable work. As inspired use of a plot who is so familiar to action films, in a wise manner.
Diane Kruger is a very underrated actor. This little gem of a movie yet again showcases her enormous talent. The emotional range she is able to express with only the slightest nuanced eye movements is amazing.
This is an excellent little movie dealing with human tragedy at an extremely personal level. The raw presentation of the victim's emotions and actions is superb. No American melodrama or saccharine cosseting.
I feel it drops to an 8 only because the evil motivations of the perpetrators is not adequately explored. They are treated almost as faceless protagonists instead of the critical components they are
Still, a compelling watch!

I really wanted to see this but know that expectations for films can be a negative momentum that might destroy the enjoyment of the movie.
So, throughout the first act I was somewhat disappointed. Altough it is indeed a devastating scenario, it felt like the movie did not trust me to feel bad enough already - dark colours, endless rain and a camera that does not dare to move away from Diane Krugers face...It annoyed me that the creation of a uncanny atmosphere felt so forced.
Yet, as the movie progressed, I was more and more amazed. The 2nd act brought in new camera work, longer, steady shots that brought stability into the images as the characters tried to find theirs. The transistion of the court speaking the sentence and Katja getting her tattoo was one of the most memorable edits I have seen in a long time. Overall the courthouse scenes had a really defined feel and setting to them, which underlined the characters strong play.
The third act made me afraid, I was expecting it to turn out like a usual "tough woman goes maverick"-thriller. Not that I don't enjoy that, I have just seen it too much and it would seem undeserving for this story. But: This isn't a Hollywood production! The character was insecure, realistic, tangible, we could not see it coming how this drama would turn out but neither could the characters - and thats how life is. At times, we have no idea how to deal with tragedy, guilt, death, we're helpless in the face of institutional justice but also do not find ways to bring justice ourselves and when we are faced with our enemies, we might even doubt if we are the right ones to judge them. Hollywood gives these big questions simple answers, this movie does not.
After a bumpy start I grew to like this a lot.

I've been a Faith Akin fan since Giegen Die Wand (Head-On)and I love his rock 'n' roll style. I knew this film was going to be depressing but it also is like a thriller towards the end, which left my heart pumping so loudly. Diane Kruger is a phenomenal actress in this, she is so believable and extreme. There are some clichés/stereotypes in the story which pull it down. I think the effect post-film, was very strong and I couldn't escape fast enough, it was so tense and terrifying.
Lo sapevi?
- QuizThis is the second time that German actress Diane Kruger worked using her native language. The first was Bastardi senza gloria (2009).
- BlooperThe blood spurting from Katja's wrists during the suicide attempt indicates she had cut through an artery. This can't be treated at home by wrapping a towel around her wrists; immediate medical treatment is required to repair the damaged artery.
