Quote:
The German middle class takes another drubbing in novice helmer Matthias Luthardt’s pingpong, a chamber piece with four characters full of unspoken needs that rarely bursts with the kind of tension required to make an impact. Well-crafted with a confidently quiet style, pic trods where others have gone before, entering into the hothouse world of the bourgeoisie where communication is non-existent and manipulation is king. Though strong enough for small fest play, pingpong is unlikely to be bouncing around multi-territory art cinemas.

Sixteen-year-old Paul (Sebastian Urzendowsky) shows up unannounced in the backyard of his uncle’s nice suburban house one summer day declaring his intention to stay for an unspecified period of time. His father’s recent suicide is only the most immediate of family issues they all avoid talking about, so Uncle Stefan (Falk Rockstroh) and Aunt Anna (Marion Mitterhammer) reluctantly take Paul in without too much prying.

Sensing the necessity of making himself useful, Paul volunteers to fix up the abandoned swimming pool, an act which makes the cool Anna a little more agreeable. Still, she reserves outward affection for the dog — certainly not her son Robert (Clemens Berg), whose emotional needs are essentially ignored.

When Uncle Stefan is called away on business, Paul’s sexual attraction to his aunt grows bolder, a palpable draw Anna only weakly brushes aside.

In order to avoid conversations or tasks, the boys head for the ping-pong table. Unfortunately the climactic scene, where Paul breaks down and tells Robert about his father’s suicide, fails to grip the viewer and doesn’t make the necessary emotional impact.

A genial food fight serves as the watershed moment for Anna to accept Paul, but the scene feels out of character for the uptight woman, more script-useful than real.

Perfs are finely tuned for the most part, though every line is given more breathing room than required: It’s already clear that these people exist in their own individualized vacuums.

For Luthardt and much of his crew, including d.p. Christian Marohl, pic is their graduation piece from the Potsdam Academy, and as such represents a fine achievement. Lensing approximates the stillness within these characters lives, firmly controlled and never flashy; blow-up is crisp and problem-free.

from allmovie:
A serial killer dispassionately discusses the nuts and bolts of his grisly avocation, as well as the youthful traumas which helped to mold him into a psychopath, in this disturbing independent drama from Germany, based on a true story. Young Jurgen Bartsch (Sebastian Urzendowsky) was raised in a family where his father (Walter Gontermann) barely acknowledged his existence and his mother (Ulrike Bliefert) displayed an inappropriate degree of affection toward him. When he reached puberty, Bartsch (played as a teenager by Tobias Schenke) was a young man confused and bitter about his growing sexual maturity, and possessing a deep hatred of those around him. Bartsch was a 15-year-old apprentice butcher when he kidnapped and murdered a young boy; he would kill three more boys in a similar fashion before he was captured by police in 1966. After he was found guilty, Bartsch carefully documented his childhood and his crimes in a series of letters and essays, and Ein Leben lang kurze Hosen tragen is drawn from his own words as it dramatizes his life and his crimes. — Mark Deming

Synopsis
Things could hardly turn out worse for Katrin. In Corsica, her boss and lover of many years tells her that his wife is pregnant. In one abrupt instant, all hopes for a life together are dashed. Her plans for her future unraveled, her heart broken, Katrin breaks up with him. But all her attempts to start a new life simply toss her deeper into a maelstrom of aimlessness and pain.

She then happens to meet Malte, an adventure-hungry young man who lives on the edge and strictly for the moment. He overwhelms her with the honesty and clarity of his feelings – and suddenly, from one minute to the next, her life becomes a dangerous tightrope walk.
