About This Movie

Wealthy Corpses: A Crime Story from Starnberg is a curious blend of crime and regional quirk. Set against the backdrop of Starnberg's picturesque yet eerie landscapes, the film captures this offbeat atmosphere quite well. You’ve got Ariane, a trainee police officer, thrown into the deep end with Inspector Lu guiding her through the bizarre happenings in town. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that adds to the idiosyncratic charm. The practical effects for the lake scene and the kidnapping plot give it an interesting edge. Performances are solid, with Ariane's character development being pretty engaging in a small-town setting with dark secrets. It's one of those films that hovers in a unique space, neither too serious nor comically light.
