Review of Die fremde Frau

*****POTENTIAL SPOILER****** This is a very intelligent and sharp German movie - almost cannot be seen it was made for TV. A brilliant storyline and equally well elaborated script, good directing and superb acting especially by the passionate Corinna Harfouch (recently can be seen in the Downfall as the gruesome Magda Goebbels - also terrific acting). She works her character - with all emotions and thoughts - deeply internally and transform herself to the character totally. All the other main characters are very good and convincing and as you watch the movie you'll get more and more excited because the tension is permanently boosted up to the final climax which leaves you just shocked and dizzy. What happens from the appearance of the "Fremde Frau" (The Strange Lady)is very well explained and motivated and to look from the end backwards everything get a second (even third) meaning and add something to the understanding. This movie is far more than a simple TV thriller, this is a gem of the new German film-making. If you have a chance just watch it and will be surprised. 9 out of 10.
