14 Days to Life

Indeed this movie from Roland Suso Richter is a masterpiece, illustrating perfectly that the law nowadays is not always about right judgements and that everyone with some brains is capable to misinform or mislead the judges. Except of the performances of the main character played by Kai Wiesinger, where the yuppie lawyer is not convincing I was under impression of the achievements of Michael Mendl playing Czernetzky the prisoner. I can not understand that such movie was not presented for any festival, it sure had won several prizes.

Never being in jail, this perfect psycho shocker enabled new views on life inside a jail-house in 'humanistic countries' to me. This adult toxic movie is more a psycho than a criminal. If you have turned off the lights, 'Ramon's' and 'Chernetzky's' actions suppress you. Best of the new talent, director Roland Suso Richter.

Condemned in fourteen days of detention to have refused to pay his fines, an arrogant lawyer sees his prison stay going on unexpectedly. The interpretation, convincing, is the best trump card of this small thriller of fair invoice at the idea of departure schemer but in the uneven suspense.
