I attended the premiere screening of this awesome film in March '03. To see a movie made with a very tight budged is always interesting and in this case also an inspirational and encouraging experience to sit in a crowded audience cheering up as the film unfolds.

Basically the story follows the two brothers through a tale of vengeance. Though the two brothers have the same goal, to find the murderers of their parents, they are completely different personalities, which gives this story more depth and of course unavoidable conflicts. Love, betrayal, identity, honor and trust will all play a major role in this film and still stay true to the theme. There's a scene in the film, when the two brothers have done a mistake and realize they're not better than the murderers of their parents and the consequences are inevitable. Maybe the most terrific moment in the whole movie! I loved it.

Still there remains some things I don't quite agree with Marco von Moos. The beginning and ending sequences should've been longer and more intense, instead of the, in my opinion, too short scenes. And also I think one major character (No name, I don't want to spoil) appears too late, thats why I feel like watching a stereotype that character embodies. Though the most of the dialogue and acting was pretty good, there are moments when it becomes a little amateurish (the two lovers in the zoo).

After all, everyone with ambition to make movies should watch this film and learn.

German cinema is famous for its historical depth, expressionist aesthetics, and social-political engagement. It has moved from Expressionism to political reckoning, from New German Cinema's raw realism to contemporary genre experiments. Its legacy lies in both technical innovation and deep explorations of history, morality, and philosophy.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way.
