Black Box (2023) kicks off with a simple but interesting opening scene which sets the tone for the rest of the film. Director Asli Özge does not waste any time in introducing us to many characters in a short period of time. She starts setting up the different pieces of the film and reveals them in layers one by one. Black Box is a claustrophobic, fast-paced drama that paints a stark picture of the lives of residents in an apartment building in Berlin.
The film starts with a tall construction crane moving a glass structure into the backyard of an apartment building. We later know that it belongs to a management company and the landlord Johannes Horn (Felix Kramer) plans to use it as his new office. The next day police blocked the entrance to the building prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving the building. The residents begin to question Horn...

There's the rawness of a cold shower on a winter's morning to this docufiction hybrid from brothers David and Sasa Vajda, who spent a couple of years researching methadone clinics, needle exchanges and other places for addicts before bringing their project to life.
The resulting drama is set within the confines of a makeshift rehab centre run by a priest (Sascha Alexander Gersak) - the denomination is non-specific - who offers shelter, routine and sermons to an eclectic mix of addicts, trying to get their lives back on track. What he is offering is limited, especially in terms of emotional support, with the place little more than a roof over the heads of people who are also fighting mental health issues, although the directors treat this with a cool ambivalence - while it is by no means serving up the help they fully need, there's no doubt it's better than the.

After scooping up the New Auteur Award at AFI Fest 2013, Nothing Bad Can Happen continued to garner a decidedly divisive response upon a limited theatrical release (which began after the Cannes premiere in 2013 Un Certain Regard Sidebar, where the jeers were as resounding as the guffaws, with director, cast, and Ucr President Thomas Vinterberg in attendance). At best a lurid conversation piece about despicable tendencies in human nature and at worst a hopelessly exploitative examination of based-on-a-true event terror, Gebbe’s film is a slippery slope of degradation with a heavy dose and conjecture and assumption.
Gebbe’s debut doesn’t quite reach the same levels of finesse as uncomfortably similar fare and often tries too hard to be shockingly provocative, sometimes at the expense of some narrative and character development. Nevertheless, Gebbe’s film never loses its choke-hold and will have you squirming uncomfortably until its final frames.

How far does your faith stretch? If you’ve never considered your answer to that question, I highly recommend watching Katrin Gebbe’s Nothing Bad Can Happen. The writer and director’s feature-film debut is a powerfully poignant meditation on that very question. This recommendation, however, comes with a warning of great caution. You are likely to be offended, but this is perfectly fine.
This German film’s original title is “Tore tanzt,” which translates in English to “Tore dances.” Tore, being the film’s central character, is played by Julius Feldmeier. Tore is a pale, lanky teenager who somewhat resembles Napoleon Dynamite. In an effort to find meaning and purpose in his life, Tore joins a religious group in Hamburg, Germany who refer to themselves as The Jesus Freaks. Tore is perfectly at home amidst the group, but it is apparent he is truly a lone sheep existing within a pack of wolves.

Nothing Bad Can Happen
Written and directed by Katrin Gebbe
Germany, 2013
It’s rare that a film like Katrin Gebbe’s Nothing Bad Can Happen refuses to focus on vengeance as resolution, or even conflict. Rather, despite its unflinching brutality, there are some truly uplifting ideas at work. And then it decides to hate women.
Based on true events previously covered in an internet article, the film concerns Tore, a young member of the Hamburg-founded commune ‘The Jesus Freaks’, and by far the most naive. He saunters through the commune, bouncing his short blonde hair and lanky frame to the sounds of Jesus metal. His naivete is near savant-like, with him even believing that the power of prayer can help start a dead automobile. When this (miraculously) actually works, he comes to stay with the vehicle’s owner, Benno (Sascha Alexander Gersak), and his family.
Benno slowly becomes a new,...

Having faith is easy, but maintaining that bond with and belief in a higher being is where the real test lies. And it's a cinematic theme that's almost as old as the medium itself, but writer/director Katrine Gebbe finds a fresh spin on it with "Nothing Bad Can Happen." Debuting at the Cannes Film Festival last in year in the Un Certain Regard category, it marked a promising start for the director's first feature, and now it's coming stateside for those intrigued by thrillers underscored by big ideas. Based on a true story, and starring Julius Feldmeier, Sascha Alexander Gersak, Annika Kuhl, Swantje Kohlhof, Til Theinert, Daniel Michel, and Nadine Boske, "Nothing Bad Can Happen" tells the tale of young Christian punk Tore, who falls into living with a dysfunctional family. And it's here where the trouble begins, when the man of the house initiates a series of games,...

Book of Job 2: Gebbe’s Divisive Debut High Brow Torture Porn
The only German entry in 2013’s Cannes film festival also happened to be one of the most grueling with Katrin Gebbe’s debut, Tore Tanzt (Nothing Bad Can Happen), which is bound to inspire as much derision as it does praise. Unfortunately, Gebbe’s debut doesn’t quite reach the same levels of finesse as uncomfortably similar fare and often tries too hard to be shockingly provocative, sometimes at the expense at some narrative and character development. Nevertheless, Gebbe’s film never loses its choke-hold and will have you squirming uncomfortably until its final frames.

"It's an unpleasant film with a noble message," is how a friend described the new German film Nothing Bad Can Happen to me before I watched it, and not only did I agree with the man's assessment -- I found it one of the most compelling and quietly unsettling thrillers in quite some time. Incidentally, that man was Tim League, whose Drafthouse Films acquired the U.S. rights to Nothing Bad Can Happen about a week later. That's called putting your money where your mouth is.
A devious and slyly intelligent psychological thriller about the value of faith versus the power of nihilism, Nothing Bad Can Happen is about an aimless young religious zealot who, through a strange series of events, finds himself living with a "normal" suburban family -- a family that clearly does not share his religious beliefs. At first young Tore (Julian Felmeier) butts heads with patriarch...

Editor’s note: Our review of Nothing Bad Can Happen originally ran during this year’s Cannes Film Festival, but we’re re-running it here as it plays Fantastic Fest. One of the most loudly-jeered though curiously little-discussed films at this year’s Cannes Film Festival was first-time director Katrin Gebbe‘s Nothing Bad Can Happen, the single German film playing at 2013′s fest. For sure, it’s controversial material, guaranteed to divide audiences on whether or not it is in fact a criticism of religious sectarianism or merely a depiction of humanity’s dark heart. Tore (Julius Feldmeier) is a young man who has fallen in with so-called Jesus Freaks, a punk Christian sect basing themselves out of a house in Hamburg.
