Hark Bohm

Synopsis:
White-collar crime from the perspective of the public prosecutor’s office. The unemployed civil engineer Kaiser (Martin Lüttge) becomes the managing director of the construction company “Zielbau GmbH”. Bankruptcy is foreseeable because the only client, Siegmann (Alexander Radszun), has negotiated a construction price that is far too low. After the bankruptcy, the subcontractors cannot be paid, apparently planned by Siegmann, and Siegmann owns the apartment block. Prosecutor König (Hark Bohm) wants to prove that Siegmann is guilty of fraud. But evidence must not be obtained by illegal means.Read More »

The Kaiser Wilhelm Church dominates the Berlin skyline as seen from a glass-paneled, high-rise office, a shooting takes place on a monitor. Surveillance footage? No, the ending of The Devil, Probably. Each generation has the revolutionaries it deserves, after the Baader-Meinhoff affair you’re stuck with middle-class ninnies: leader Volker Spengler secretary Hanna Schygulla, schoolteacher Bulle Ogier, composer Udo Kier, housewife Margit Carstensen. The puppet master is the industrialist (Eddie Constantine) who heralds cinema’s utopian lies (“As long as films are sad, life isn’t”); his corporate must promote security equipment, so he manipulates the radicals into kidnapping him and sits back to enjoy the clown show.Read More »
