Verbrannte Erde
Trojan (Mišel Matičević) is an old-school gangster – but the old days are over. When he returns to Berlin after twelve years in hiding in search of a lucrative job and ends up stealing a painting by Caspar David Friedrich from the museum, he realises that business in his line of work has changed. Suddenly, it's all about sheer survival. Arslan's sequel to Im Schatten is a tightly told genre film. The car journeys are staged as gliding movements, coloured lighting accents make the night glow in different shades of black, and a pulsating score sets the mood. Berlin has also changed: it is shown here as an inhospitable city with soulless hotels, deserted car parks and glass functional buildings. (B.K.)
