The Face of an Angel (2014)
La Divina Commedia
For all of you, who expected a big Hollywood-whodunnit-movie, don't see this one. This goes far deeper. Its not the story about a murder case, its the story about a guy trying to find a way of making a movie about it. The case split the world, there is no truth and thats the point. I found it very interesting to see a yellow-press murder case turned into an art-house movie. Brühls character knows he can only tell the truth (better: the truths) in fictional style and decides to tell it in a Dante-frame. How can you tell a story, that actually happened in a very fictional way? Mission accomplished. If you like murder cases AND Dante, go see it.
Lulu (2006)
excellent stage play in a movie
This is a film that puts 2 plays written by Frank Wedekind into one movie. Lulu is theatre at its best. Wonderful actors, camera that gives you the impression of really being part of it, a director who puts it all together, stages the movie so that you can't decide: movie, stage, chamber play? and the music in between the scenes is very funny. Jessica Schwarz in the title role is very authentic and imho the best Lulu I've ever seen. If you want to see really erotic scenes forget Hollywood and see this movie.
Its a pity, this extremely underrated movie is very rarely shown on TV. Arte come on, show it again!
