Quote:
Winner of the Student Critics Jury Award at this year’s Edinburgh Film Festival, German director Dietrich Brüggemann’s Stations of the Cross (Kreuzweg, 2014) takes on as its burden the wry dissection of hardline Catholicism in fourteen supremely crafted long takes. Dividing each of his film’s chapters according to the traditionally depicted stages of Christ’s condemnation to death, his Crucifixion and his subsequent burial in anticipation of the Resurrection, Brüggemann offers up a darkly comic, contemporary reworking of Catholic doctrine that never shirks away from illuminating both the ridiculous and the sublime (although the former outnumbers the latter).

At the tender age of just fourteen, the pious Maria (a noteworthy debut from young newcomer Lea van Acken) is already thinking of the life hereafter. Bullied at school due to an unwavering devotion to her faith, she finds it difficult to maintain relationships with classmates – particularly those of the opposite gender – due to an overriding if premature fear of carnal temptation. Maria’s home life is a key factor in all of this; her family are dyed-in-the-wool lambs of the Society of St. Pius XII flock with an unshakeable belief in the traditionalist interpretation and teachings of Catholicism. As such, every single daily decision that Maria makes is to be examined and scrutinised in the eyes of Almighty God – and he’s clearly not one to let even the smallest trespasses things slide. But how far will our heroine go in His name?

Reminiscent – in subject matter and its affinity for disciplined framing, at least – to the middle chapter of Ulrich Seidl’s Paradise trilogy, Brüggemann’s Stations of the Cross broaches comparable themes of sacrifice, stoicism and staunch purity, yet fixes its gaze on God’s youngest recruits as opposed to Seidl’s seasoned campaigner. In an extended and immaculately shot opening sequence (just over ten minutes in length), Florian Stetter’s impassioned Father talks his pupils through ‘The Way’. An expulsion of, and constant vigil against modern society’s numerous temptations (including the “satanic rhythms” of gospel, jazz, rock and pop music) is crucial we’re told, the scene ending with a clear sign of things to come – Maria’s rejection of a seemingly harmless biscuit. It’s in prayer and the selfless helping of others that God’s warriors find sustenance – not food.

There are points at which Brüggemann mischievous humour teeters on the edge of the outright farcical (Franziska Weisz, as the tyrannical mother, does perhaps stray into Margaret White territory on occasion). However, any such threats are almost always waylaid by a well-timed cut or a moment of finely-executed symbolism (all clocks featured stop at 3pm). Like her beloved Saviour, Maria’s one misguided wish is that the sins of another be admonished by a personal act of sacrifice – in this case, that her mute four-year-old brother, Johann, will finally speak. And whilst it’s not exactly difficult to chart Stations of the Cross’ trajectory after the first few expositionary chapters, a fitting finale highlights just how fine a balancing act between the ludicrous and the laconic Brüggemann has achieved.

German plot description:
Polizeimeisteranwärterin Ariane Fink aus Dortmund verschlägt es ausgerechnet nach Starnberg: gesichtsloses Städtchen, Wahnsinnssee. Höchste Millionärsdichte Bayerns. Eine Idylle mit Reißzähnen.

Und eben hier wird Ariane gleich an ihrem ersten Arbeitstag mit dem bayerischsten aller Klischees konfrontiert: Der tote Kini, oder besser gesagt, ein Wiedergänger von ihm, liegt am Ufer des Starnberger Sees, und zwar genau da, wo Ludwig II. 1886 ins Wasser ging.

“Das beeindruckt mich jetzt auch mal,” meint Polizeichef Lu Reinhold und Hauptkommissar Timo Senst wird umgehend zum Ermittler aus Leidenschaft: Denn er ist ein Verehrer des bayerischen Märchenkönigs. Doch wer ist der Tote? Er ist gekleidet wie Ludwig II., er scheint genauso gelebt zu haben wie der König: “Stark kariöses Gebiss, heftige Adipositas”. Im Hier und Heute aber ist er nicht zu identifizieren.

Unklar ist auch, ob es Suizid oder Mord war. Noch während die Polizei über die brisante Erkenntnis aus der Rechtsmedizin grübelt, dass dieser Kini ein Schlafkranker war (“Wer umkippt und ersauft braucht koa Kugel mehr!”) wird die hübsche Sisi entführt: Millionärstochter aus zerbrochener Starnberger Ehe. Sisi teilt mit dem echten Kini eines: die Sehnsucht nach einer Geborgenheit, die sie nicht hat.
