Gier und Angst

About This Movie

Gier und Angst has this gritty, atmospheric vibe that instantly pulls you into its world. Set against the backdrop of the Dortmund harbor, there's a palpable tension that seems to hang in the air. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the dread to build as Josef Micklitza discovers the body of his financial advisor, Claus Lembach. It's not just a crime tale; it's an exploration of trust and betrayal wrapped in a murky ambience. The performances are understated but compelling, really drawing you into the moral quandaries at play. It's these little details—like the shadows playing along the docks and the echo of distant sirens—that elevate it, making it feel like a deep dive into psychological unease rather than just a run-of-the-mill whodunit.
