What starts almost in a comedy style as a harmless dinner of two couples is during the night becoming a furious, tragic drama which ends with the dead of one women. It is a contemporary version of "Who is afraid of Virginia Woolf" in Dogma sty

Not only the mike, what appears to be the sound-man is visible for a few seconds in the left bottom corner. One cut, there he is again, after that he vanishes.

good, provocative film

Obviously shot low budget this film still managed to captivate me.I think when judging the technical qualities one should take the budget into consideration. It is a modern " who is afraid of Virginia Woolf " , two couples, stuck in relationship hell, fight to the death on one fatal dinner-party. The film asks the big questions - what is loyalty, how to live ones life. The film tells in an interesting way how important it is to take responsibility for ones life and the futility of blaming the other person for your own problems. The director boils these questions to a dramatic climax that brings an unexpected twist. all in all a very rewarding movie experience. The actors are superb, they deliver the stylized tirade and the throwaway line with equal mastery. They cheat, rant, force and woo with abandonment. It's a pleasure to watch all of them, Lisa Martinek, Anika Mauer, Sven Walser and Tim Lang. Alexander Schueler is a fresh voice in German cinema.
