Diane kruger plays the tough combination of country who married her husband occurred when he was in prison the couple have a small sum. Right. And then comes the moment that changes everything. Else. Really. Really hard to. Touch as husband and son are killed in the explosion. And whats off the fun you so often hear of attacks and you only have the numbers twenty today and one hundred dead you seldom hear the stories of the people left behind who have to live with it and thats what sort of touched me about the film. And the sadness on a family. After the initial shock theres only emptiness and loneliness what remains are the memories how do you go on living with pain anger and hate directivity akon endeavors to address these questions in the film. Heres my table shes my alter ego in the film the middle east shes a woman and arean what i can project so many of my own fears onto this character. So after she got quits. After enjoying success in hollywood this is diane kruger first film and her native german its an intense layered to the force her performance and her the best actress prize at the cannes Film Festival. The crime in the film is reminiscent of a string of real life neo nazi killings in germany the court scenes are especially harrowing. Its really defining better think about it its the good quote side he has an expose on sentence but once was a thousandth part to much but in connecticut of what i was id have been on from cop position to long for the common one of.

As i said. He knew what hes revenge is a theme in cinema its also a very archaic human theme i mean the bible talks about it. I like the label revenge thriller because it sounds interesting but thats not really not just that its actually a film about a mother and pain. And that and loss how you deal with loss and the different layers that you have with loss. Culture travels to greece in search of those responsible for the attack. In the fade is a film that invites debate its the definition of political cinema. A highlight of the kind of Film Festival in the faith is one of the years most controversial and interesting german films thats how the oscars feel the same. This month saw the premiere worldwide of the dark germanys first ever Netflix Series its a mystery drama from the twisted mind of hot young director baron bo odor who wowed us back in two thousand and fourteen with the hacker thriller who am i you know binge watch the show at of its premier and here is our take. This is something that is just a topic that totally interests us how a normal person commits a crime and how the price to countries up with your i know. It seems a delicate. A german forest straight out of a grimms fairy tale a small town in the middle of nowhere it could all be so tranquil if it werent for the gloom a mysterious cave and a troubled young boy. Scout was assigned and the whole bellamy gang. Oh mother try some i caught. How quickly evil unfolds. Your house is an introverted boy whose father has just committed suicide he goes into a psychiatric clinic for treatment and comes out still seeing his father in his dreams house and begins and father went out and. Suddenly children start disappearing in a mysterious way four families are affected their lives are torn apart. Thanks to a german concept pervades dark but inspiration also came from a far right. Gregory crewdson had a huge influence on doc hes a photographer from new york who takes pictures of suburbia using wide shots featuring solitary individuals lost in space theres always something strange about this kind of image or question is asked which is never answered yeah about his band what about a. Human is enough kind of well. I dont even know if it. Is good and im better and indeed in a past new system it doesnt mean. Not a forty five implied feet of them by giving us what it is you dont want to echo this one. And i never even been im twenty thousand i know its meant to be listening hearts but. This is a. Position that. I just north of you from one place and. The past returns to haunt the present children a turn for the sins of the parents. Doc takes a trip back in time to the one nine hundred eighty s. Where the soundtrack to much. Dark is the first Netflix Series in germany a healthy budget allowed for a lot of creative freedom. Doesnt have the most reaction to very specific stories that are not generic or big and thats whats new about netflix that they make these nice series so mission. Itll certainly change the German Market i hope maybe make room for something new. Dark is a genuinely exciting german series with a smart script and powerful visuals the plot is compelling and the suspense is nonstop critics have already compared it to american Netflix Series stranger things. Like its another show set in a small town in the 1980s with a missing child government conspiracy and the supernatural. In the thrill was actually to make something that stretched over a long time you have to create ten hours worth of material instead of two which is the normal length of a film. You invent a world that creatively belongs entirely to you and of course made us really hungry for more and im going to continue to ration on this one hundred dollars if the shooter knew that he was going to cut the im going to not come to measure my time young moving thing about don has the sense of dread that envelops everything even the most present scene is pregnant with doom hora looks everywhere death is our closest neighbor german angst this series.
