Writer and director Christian Petzold and his frequent actress Nina Hoss return with another psychological thriller. This time around on a reinvention of "The Postman Always Rings Twice" but as usual Petzold reaches beyond the genre conventions to make a comment about its characters morals. The disillusioned Thomas is a veteran of the Afghan war who moves into his deceased mother house for a new start in life. Soon afterwards he's lured into the life of Turkish businessman and his beautiful German wife with each having their own agenda for him. Nina Hoss disappears in the role and hard to believe she's the same actress from Petzold's "Yella". 1001 Films' coverage of upcoming releases.
