Rainer Maria Fassbinder in the 1980ies, Wong Kar-Wai in the 1990ies, Paolo Sorrentino at present, Mariano Llinás is on a par with those film makers. This is what cinematography is all about: pure emotions in artistic depiction with narrative grandeur. This film is a drug.

The first film
10 May 2005
This Tatort was perhaps the first attempt in film making to capture tragic relations between the people of West- and East Berlin after the wall fell in 1989, between those who had crossed the border from East to West ("rüber gemacht haben") and those who had stayed when the wall was built. The inspector is the man who had crossed the border and now meets his old friends from the East when he has to elucidate a murder (tragically related to him personally).
The gripping strength of that film which exited me when I saw it 14 years ago on German TV (I haven't seen it since but it stays constantly in my mind) is the dense atmosphere that evolves between excellent actors of theater quality.
In the interrelations of the individuals history becomes shockingly real beyond historical facts and it moves you into a state of melancholy.
