Un omicidio irrisolto: il caso Rohwedder

Finally some good docu to watch ..give it a try. It will keep you thinking ..whole new perspective

Interesting documentary about the assassination of a high ranking politician who was in charge of liquidating unhealthy companies in East-Germany. Plenty of original footage from the late 80s and early 90s. The perspective of the director remains a bit of a mystery. The story has many interesting angles, but overall the message was a bit unclear. Nonetheless it was captivating enough to keep watching, especially if you love history and political drama.

The assassination of Rohwedder and other 'capitalists' are so professionally executed that it raises questions. High-ranking key figures from that time comment on the difficulties and hostility around the reunification.

The title 'A Perfect Crime' doesn't do this high-quality documentary justice. This isn't some fictional action movie about a bank heist. I learned a lot, which i never would have expected from a Netflix documentary.

"A Perfect Crime" offers not only an interesting murder case through well directed interviews, great structure and good pacing, but also gives a deep insight of the political climate and it's effect on the economical structure and peoples life in East Germany after the fall of the DDR. It engages the viewer by encouraging to draw your own conclusion of the murder through interviewing several people with diffrent perspectives, all making good cases for their perception of the events that took place. It's neatly edited and looks great most of the time. The only downsides of the documentary are small inconsistencies of the reconstructed scenes, where in some scenes there is cleary put effort into making it look authentic, but sometimes is just clearly taking place in the modern time. However this is quickly overshadowed as it is just a minor flaw that doesn't hinder the viewer in any way of enjoying the documentary. All in all it is more than just a murder case, but an important timepiece of german history.

Very high production value for a german specific documentary. The story told is interesting with interviews from many people directly involved.
