Jerichow -
 "Click to view larger image")
A great modern neo-noir thriller with sparse, tight dialog and passion that boils right through to the final shocking ending.
Following his critically acclaimed “Yella,” up and coming director/actor Christian Petzold’s current potboiler “Jerichow” was nominated for the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. On the surface the film has the plot and feel of the noir classic “The Postman Always Rings Twice.” In that movie, a roadside café owner hires a drifter to help out around the place. Soon the drifter is plotting with the man’s attractive wife to eliminate him from their lives. In “Double Indemnity” Fred MacMurray plots with Barbara Stanwyck to kill her husband and is found out by smart insurance man Edward G. Robinson. This film is somewhat of a combination of the two with a plot twist at the end.
