Max as Wolfgang Berns in “Bonn - alte Freunde, neue Feinde” - Episode 1:

Synopsis:

London, New Year's Eve 1953/54 - 20-year-old Toni Schmidt (Mercedes Müller) takes care of the children of a wealthy London family, in whose town house she spends the turn of the year. Here she comes into contact with Lucie and her husband Otto John (Sebastian Blomberg), the President of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV). The former resistance fighter in Graf Stauffenberg's inner circle is impressed by Toni's thoughtful manner.

Bonn, 1954 - It's the time of the Cold War. As head of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Otto John pursues war criminals who have gone into hiding and fights against a resurgence of former Nazis in Germany. One of John's greatest adversaries is Reinhard Gehlen, head of the Gehlen Organization, a foreign intelligence service named after him. John is convinced that Gehlen is actively obstructing the hunt for former Nazi criminals, but he has no solid evidence of this. At the top of Otto John's wanted list is Alois Brunner, who was responsible for the deportation of hundreds of thousands of Jews during the war. Wolfgang Berns (Max Riemelt), one of John's best agents, also wants to track down Brunner.

In search of Brunner, Wolfgang follows a lead to the forger Viktor Heimann, who uses false papers to help former Nazis escape. When he breaks into Heimann's apartment, he surprises the orphan boy Schwarte, who promises to inform him of Heimann's return. But the plan is thwarted, Heimann flees and Wolfgang is beside himself with rage.

Meanwhile, Toni returns to Germany and is warmly welcomed by her mother Else, her father Gerd Schmidt (Jürgen Maurer) and her sister Ingrid. Toni's fiancé Hartmut (Julius Feldmeier) is also there and the joy of seeing them again is huge. Toni is impressed by the family's new wealth - the economic miracle has left remarkable traces. The building materials company is doing well and her father is a respected entrepreneur. But there are also downsides: Stefan, the only son, has not returned from the war and is considered missing (NB: this is the soldier shown at the beginning of the episode).

Against the will of her family, Toni wants to go her own way. Children, kitchen, church and working as a saleswoman in Hartmut's television shop are not enough for her. Completely incomprehensible for sister Ingrid, who is overjoyed as a temp in Hartmut's shop. Surprisingly, Gerd supports his eldest daughter and gets her a job as a foreign language secretary for his old companion Reinhard Gehlen (Martin Wuttke). Shortly afterwards she meets Otto John again in the lobby of the Ministry of the Interior office. For him, Toni could be the key to getting explosive information from the innermost circle around Gehlen. John puts his best agent on her: Wolfgang.

Inglourious Basterds (2009)

Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds will either unleash a deluge of questions about morals and ethics (probably intentionally) or allow you to revel in trashy revenge fantasies while sitting through a story that’s full of finely-written dialogue, unpredictable turns and excellent performances. I strongly suspect the film isn't supposed to be scrutinized, that its only purpose is to be a “leave your brain at the door and enjoy the carnage” kind of film but the skill involved in its creation compels you to look deeper. There are many great scenes and some spectacular performances within the picture, which makes it a surprise that ultimately, the final product is less than the sum of its parts.

In 1944, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) assembles a paramilitary unit designed to spread terror among Nazi troops. The Basterds are to murder, disfigure and torture any enemy soldiers they find but must also let some live to grow their reputation. A year later, the Basterds are recruited to infiltrate a film premiere in Nazi-occupied France where several high-ranking German officers will be attending. The theater is owned by Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent), a Jewish woman living in Paris under a fake name. She seeks revenge against the same Nazis the Basterds are targeting, particularly SS-Standartenführer Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz).

Inglourious Basterds is two movies that briefly converge but are otherwise independent of each other. The problem is that these two stories are nearly opposites tonally. The Basterds’ story is a violent, comedic cartoon. Shosanna’s story contains real drama. Both are revenge fantasies but of a completely different kind.

It’s hard to tell what message we’re supposed to draw from the film. An opening speech by Raine reminds us that despite the way they act and look, every German soldier is not a person. They are simply pieces of Hitler’s grand machine. The more violent, and brutal their death the better. We never see concentration camps. They are never even mentioned. The Third Reich’s armies are shown killing Jews but only via machine guns. The murders they commit are no more brutal than those committed by the Basterds but we’re not supposed to see the Jewish-American soldiers as bad - even though they torture and mutilate people who beg for their lives - because the people they are killing are “not people”. It’s difficult to wrap your head around the idea because the performances are so good, and the violence so impactful.

This is the kind of film that could’ve used a couple of baddies with eyepatches and mechanical legs rather than the excellent lookalikes of Sylvester Groth (Joseph Goebbels), Adolf Hitler (Martin Wuttke) and Emil Jannings (Hilmar Eichhorn). The message seems to be that compassion and mercy have no place in the world and that they’re likely to get you killed. Should the excuse of “I was just following orders” exempt you from punishment? Tarantino says “Maybe - unless you're a Nazi". At the very least, you must admire him for committing fully to his message.

Whether or not you're turned off by the story’s brutality, there’s no denying what Inglourious Basterds does well. There are so many good scenes the package is worth seeing even if it will offend and appall you. Tarantino holds the tension and then slowly stretches it until you can practically smell the perspiration dominating the room. The dialogue is so good you can’t wait to hear what’s next and you wouldn’t miss a word for all the stolen Nazi gold in the world. The plot’s completely unpredictable and the performances are incredible. Christoph Waltz, in particular, blows you away. You should hate his character. He’s a terrible human being but he’s so smooth the atrocities he commits seem to evaporate from your memory the second he opens his mouth.

Inglourious Basterds is not a classy story but it’s made with such expertise that the mud it’s wading through looks like it came from the spa. It’s deeply knowledgeable about film history and if you are as well, you should see it. Every glimpse we get of Stolz der Nation (Nation's Pride) is perfect to a tee. Would it have been a better film if it had been separated into two? Unfortunately, I believe so. With the conclusion the way it is, the more interesting story - that of Shoshanna - is made redundant, even pointless by the actions of the Basterds. The upside is that you have no clue where it's headed until you get there.

Although I think Inglourious Basterds is a one-and-done for me, I'd be curious to see how a second viewing might go. It really is one of those movies that forces you to react strongly toward it. (May 1, 2020)

Where do I know h...ah. Martin Wuttke. Because we have five actors and all of them were in Tatort

Schlafende Hunde: Drehstart zur Netflix-Serie mit Max Riemelt

In Berlin haben die Dreharbeiten zur neuen deutschen Netflix-Serie „Schlafende Hunde“ (bislang nur der Arbeitstitel) begonnen. Mit dabei sind Max Riemelt, der schon im internationalen Erfolg Sense8 zu sehen war, sowie auch Luise von Finckh (Vienna Blood), Carlo Ljubek, Peri Baumeister (Skylines), Antonio Wannek und Melodie Wakivuamina. Das Drehbuch stammt von Christoph Darnstädt („Laim und der letzte Schuldige“), der dabei die israelische Originalserie „The Exchange Principle“ adaptiert hat. Inszeniert wird der Sechsteiler zur Hälfte von Stephan Lacant und Francis Meletzky.

Im Zentrum der Geschichte steht der „abgestürzte Top-Polizist“ Mike Atlas, der zusammen mit der „aufstrebenden jungen Staatsanwältin“ Jule Andergast eine geschlossene Mordakte neu öffnet. Beide haben dafür recht unterschiedliche Gründe, doch die Konsequenz ist gleich: Größte Gefahr droht ihnen. Es scheint, als hätten sie die Büchse der Pandora aufgemacht, denn es zeichnet sich eine riesige Verschwörung von Polizei und Justiz ab. Hängt das alles mit einem Terroranschlag zusammen, der die Stadt vor anderthalb Jahren erschüttert hat?

Zu rechnen ist mit der neuen Serie wohl in der ersten Jahreshälfte 2023. Ebenfalls im Ensemble neben den Genannten, die teilweise auch auf dem ersten Vorschaubild zu sehen sind: Melika Foroutan, Helgi Schmid, Tara Africah Corrigan, Luna Jordan, Bernd Hölscher und Martin Wuttke. Als Studio fungiert Real Film Berlin, wo schon das preisgekrönte Drama Unorthodox entstand.

Die beiden Produzenten Henning Kamm und Sibylle Stellbrink äußerten sich zu ihrem Projekt wie folgt: „Die alltägliche Belastung der Polizei bringt Menschen an ihre Grenzen und darüber hinaus. Diesen Druck mit all seinen Konsequenzen hat Christoph Darnstädt (in der deutschen Adaption des israelischen Originals 'The Exchange Principle') mit seiner ganz eigenen erzählerischen Kraft eingefangen. Stephan Lacant und Francis Meletzky haben nun die wunderbare Aufgabe, mit Max Riemelt, Luise von Finckh und Carlo Ljubek vor der Kamera das Ganze zum Leben zu erwecken. Wir freuen uns drauf!“
