Dreileben Trilogy
(Various directors, 2011, Germany, Blu-ray, 266 min) Two years after the wonderful British crime series Red Riding Trilogy comes another trilogy of intersecting crime stories from overseas. This time we take you to Germany, under the direction of Berlin filmmakers Christian Petzold (Yella, Jerichow), Dominik Graf (Germany 09) and Christoph Hochhäusler (The City Below, Germany 09). Defined by Hochhäusler as "sibling films rather than a trilogy," these are three separate-but-linked takes on the same manhunt story. Graf's Don't Follow Me Around tells the story of a police psychologist who meets old acquaintances while investigating a case. In Petzold's Beats Being Dead, a young man doing alternative national service experiences a love story without a future. And in Christoph Hochhäusler's One Minute of Darkness, an indefatigable policeman hunting an escaped prisoner begins to doubt false certainties. Three films, three styles, three exciting approaches, variations and analyses.
