"Prinzessin" or "Princess" is a German 80-minute movie from 2006, so this one is already over a decade old and it is the most known work to this day by writer and director Birgit Grosskopf. It focuses on a group of young women who fill their unfulfilled lives with violence and aggression. The results are eventually armed robberies, stabbing, physical fights and eventually murder as well. The cast does not include too many big names, but if you really like German films, you can still check it out and maybe find a few familiar faces. For me personally, this would be especially Irina Potapenko's beautiful face that you also find in the Oscar-nominated "Revanche" and "Mörder auf Amrum", a truly underrated crime thriller for the small screen from Germany. But back to this one here. It is all about the conflicts and the violence happening. Some of the character's depictions work well, others not so much. But it becomes obvious that complete escalation and perhaps death will be the only ways out for the title character here. I believe the acting overall was good too, even if the awards recognition may be slightly over the top. The "princess" in here by the way is not Potapenko's character as you could guess from the photo but Müller's. So my verdict here is a positive one overall as, even if the film did not really feel that realistic all the time (sometimes it does though with the solarium scene for example) and occasionally sacrifices credibility for shock value, it still has its strong moments and I believe you should give it a go. Thumbs up from me. I recommend checking it out.
