Ordnung (1980)
The film is about a mentally disturbed man who finally gets hospitalized, but the question remains, whether he is actually sick or he just rebells against the society
This off-beat psychological drama by Sohrab Shahid Saless dissects German post-war society with a cutting edge. Herbert (Heinz Lieven) is a solid, middle-class engineer who one day quits his job and ensconces himself at home (preferably in the bathroom), refusing to say very much to anyone. His wife (Dorothea Moritz ) is all the more upset at his behavior because on Sunday mornings he goes out into the street and yells at the top of his lungs for everyone to "get up." Eventually, the hard-working wife who is also earning their support convinces Herbert to go to a clinic for treatment. In the end he leaves the clinic, healed.

A young man, depressed, writes down in his diary about his everyday uneventful life. He has quarreled with his girlfriend, Monika. She doesn't seem around. Instead, his mother visits him. She is very anxious, her son doesn't seem to be well. Some other people he comes across have the same impression. Instead of going for a vacation, he stays at home. He paints the kitchen white, a color Monika doesn't like. A few days later a policeman visits him. Does he know anything about Monika? Her parents are seeking her, but she seems to have disappeared. Suspense is created. Where is Monika? Only a few minutes before the end of the movie we will find out. She is under his bed. Strangled. In the last scene we find this young man in a hospital.
Oldeuboi (2003)
excellent film
This is a marvelous film, although sometimes unbearably cruel. The two characteristic points of the film that impressed me were: 1) The effect of the unexpected. We watch a man dreaming of vengeance, and organizing it, and finally we find out that he himself is the target of a vengeance. 2) The exaltation of the feeling of love. This exaltation is hardly convincing in ordinary heterosexual love. It reminds me of the love stories of Marques, in stories like "Del amor y otros demonios
", "mis tristes putas", "Madam Butterfly" of Henry David Hwank, and "Mary's dog" of Andreas Mitsou, a Greek writer. Here we see the incestuous love sanctified, the love between a brother and sister, and the love between a father and a daughter. The pursue of vengeance is what magnifies this feeling of incestuous love, always condemned by society, which leads the girl to suicide and the man to self- mutilation in an attempt to avoid the revelation. The act of forgiveness makes the story evade the typicality of an ordinary vengeance plot.
