I was not really sure where this was going when it started, other than to say beautiful prostitute and leading character falling in love with said prostitute had to end badly. The lead character is convincingly played by Johannes Krisch. After falling in love he realises that he needs cash to fund a new start, and so decides to leave the city with his new love and rob a bank close to his elderly fathers house. Enter unwitting local Policeman. Up until this point he has led a pedestrian life in very rural part Germany and has been trying to start a family with his wife, who just so happens to be a helper to the lead characters father. Eventually all the characters are drawn together in the name of revenge.
Banality is the watchword here. Much of the films impetus is derived from the very beautiful surroundings yet they are at pains to stress divide between the excitement of the city and the drudgery of the countryside. The major problem is that not many people will really get the aesthetic of the banal. Its been done with hollywood films like 24hr photo without much success which is unfortunate really as this is a great dramatic film. If you get the idea of the banal making art then this is a good buy on Blu-ray. If foreign and flat is not your thing then its going to be a bitter pill to swallow.
