Georg Elser (Christian Friedel) in “13”
So relevant today as we watch an isolated passionate man’s solitary attempt to eliminate a monstrous dictator whom he can see is destroying society. “13 Minutes” is a true story about an individual in pre War Nazi Germany who can no longer bear to witness the persecution and injustice into which his land has descended and decides to act decisively to eliminate the mad man dictator.
This well made, well directed film, with big sets and cast and a faithfully recreated period brings our own thoughts to bear upon our...

★★★☆☆ A follow-up to his own fascinating 2005 documentary Into the Silence, Philip Gröning's Lff offering The Police Officer's Wife (2013) is a demanding, stylistically eccentric and often gruelling exploration of the insidious cost of domestic violence, told in a series of 59 short chapters. A jigsaw puzzle is spotted in the kitchen early on, and we too are expected to piece a narrative together which seems hell-bent on confounding and delaying information. Uwe (David Zimmerschied) is the police officer and Christine (Alexandra Finder) is the eponymous wife, whilst their young daughter Clara is played by twins.
Uwe works late and is often tired, but his and Christine's life seems a happy one. Gradually, however, we suspect that things are not entirely rosy. We spot bruises on Christine's arm. Perhaps it's nothing; after all, they are a couple who indulge in occasional bouts of horseplay and the like. Yet, following an inexplicable burst of temper on Uwe's behalf,...

There are many films in competition at Venice this year that, whilst being perfectly competent, are more like BBC dramas than festival films. Philip Gröning’s Die Frau des Polizisten isn’t one of them.
Uwe (David Zimmerschied) is a policeman in a provincial German town. When we watch him at work, it is often in the surrounding countryside. Yet this is no tale of bucolic loveliness. Uwe beats his wife Christine (Alexandra Finder) with an intensity and frequency that builds throughout the film’s 175 minutes until the inevitable and tragic denouement. Initially, though, Gröning shows a happy family, the couple with their young daughter Clara out hunting Easter eggs in the woods or eating and laughing together in the kitchen.
The film is broken up into chapters. We see squirrels in the park, a fox trotting down a residential street at night and Uwe killing an injured deer. These...

Philipp Gröning’s The Police Officer’s Wife
Section: Wavelengths
Dates: Tuesday 10, Thursday 12, Saturday 14
Buzz: Despite early sour reactions from across the pond, Philip Gröning’s latest remains a black hole of intrigue. It’s hard to pass on pedigree, especially one as penetrating as this director’s. His previous fiction efforts, The Terrorists and L’Amour, l’argent, l’amour, both took home Bronze Leopards from Locarno, while his meditative documentary, Into Great Silence, beautifully depicted the life of Carthusian monks in the French Alps and won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance back in 2005. Often compared to Bergman and his modern counterpart Haneke, Gröning is worthy of the correlation. His latest moral exploration – that of domestic violence – looks to perpetuate the notion with a pair of brave performances by Alexandra Finder and David Zimmerschied in the leading roles.
