Review of Ausgerastet

Ausgerastet (1997 TV Movie)
9/10
Very realistic!
20 April 2001
After an argument with her boyfriend Dennis in a disco Anne goes home alone, leaving him and his friends Raf and Nicole behind. The next day she reads in the paper that two men and a woman are wanted for stabbing a man to death near that disco. Was Dennis involved in the murder ?

A simple story, told with a good sense of the social background (working class youth in the environs of Cologne) makes for a small TV-gem. Katharina Schüttler as Anne is great as usual (if you like her check out "Svens Geheimnis" and "Hin und weg", which make a great trilogy together with "Ausgerastet").

The photography is a little bit unusual: the contrast and depth of focus somehow make the outdoor-scenes look like studio-scenes. As soon as you've gotten used to it, this new film material (or is it video?) has its own beauty however. Maybe it's even closer to the way we naturally see things than the usual film material.
