    Quote:
    Tom Tykwer, the young German director of “Deadly Maria,” has a big streak of Roman Polanski in him. His icy, almost mocking portrait of a repressed woman who explodes out of a state of emotional claustrophobia strongly recalls Mr. Polanski’s 1965 classic, “Repulsion.” With its ominous whispering sound effects that suggest inner demons about to emerge, and flashy cinematography in which the camera circles the characters like a beast about to spring, the movie keeps you aware at all times that the director is fiendishly pulling strings.Read More »

The digital era has begun. “Servaisgraphy” threatens to become obsolete. It was finally only to be used for the fabric of the backgrounds and no longer for the encrustation.Read More »
