Das Verhör in der Nacht (2020 TV Movie)

The world is unfair

[9/10 · 24 April 2021]

If it was fair, the opening sequence would be among the top film openers:

• the contrast in rhythm between the kammerspiel of the story and a sort of car chase at night
• the contrast between the romanticism of christmas eve and political agitation as the story unfolds.

Judith Kaufmann's cinematography and the cutting here and later in the movie are exceptional.
