Dreileben - Don't Follow Me Around

German writer and director Dominik Graf was one of the three directors to take part in a trilogy that takes place in the same location but each dealing with different characters and loosely tied to the others. In the second part, a police psychologist arrives in the small town of Dreileben where she becomes an agent of change that exposes illegal police activity while disturbing the idyllic life of an old friend. Graf changes the tone with a character study that seems harmless at first before the sparks fly affecting everyone involved. Jeanette Hain stars with Susanne Wolff and Misel Maticevic with terrific performances. 1001 Films' coverage of the SFIFF55 (San Francisco International Film Festival).
