Berlin, how beautiful you are
Tale
Twelve years after his escape, professional criminal Troyan returns to Berlin. A valuable painting is about to be stolen in the city. But the meticulously planned robbery soon gets out of control… Next up is Im Schatten (2010).
Minimalist, sparse, joyless, gloomy
Your splashes of color are always on a gray background, your sound is unpleasant, your light shines artificially, you look crazy because you, crazy people, are a magnet, Moloch, you are legendary, but why, for what? Today there is a heist film, without tinsel. One that lives not so much on tension and action as on its mood.
Scarred, lonely, disappointed
Like Berlin, but different, because 'Scorched Earth' is certainly not gossipy and self-promotional. The characters are at the center of life, not in a bubble. Every straw means everything.
And when it ends, well, that’s exactly how it is
I can’t remember the content of its predecessor, but that doesn’t matter, because this is an independent work. It’s not bad, on the contrary, but with the feeling of watching a better ‘Tatort’. But without bad detectives and a director who thinks he is.
