Tatort (ARD) today: murder in Dortmund leads to complications

Now a pretty normal one leads Murder case to complications. A left blogger (Jaëla Probst) denounces Bönisch as a racist. Shortly afterwards, the investigator is attacked by masked figures in front of her apartment. The humiliation is filmed, again for the internet. The Political party “New German center” around Nils Jacob (Franz Pätzold) creates a mood with the crime in the social hotspot. For the smart right-wing populist, an unjustly persecuted law enforcement officer would be just right for his campaign. At a solidarity rally by the Rights the situation escalates. There is an outbreak of violence in the shop complex.

Director Sebastian Ko, for whom the today aired film the first Dortmund Tatort (ARD) is, and Jürgen Werner, who wrote the books for most of the Revierteam’s cases, has succeeded in creating a very contemporary crime thriller. And not just because passers-by Corona Masks carry. Again and again one sees other media overlay, such as the mobile phone film look in portrait format that is now familiar from news. Chat messages pop up like bubbles, visualizing the parallel reality of social media. Of the Murder functions as a catalyst that allows deeper-lying conflicts to break out. When the disinhibited rioters roam the labyrinthine corridors of the shopping wasteland, throwing smoke bombs, smashing windows, beating each other up, then that looks for one ARD television production amazingly big. It is a plausible scenario that violence breaks out in places of social decline such as the fictional tannery center.

Tatort (ARD) am Sonntag: Dortmund commissioner becomes “Nazi overnight”

The film has memorable appearances for everyone in the ensemble. Anna Schudt this time comes more into focus. She feels like “Nazi overnight” made. The way she wordlessly expresses the panic during the robbery, how she reacts angrily to the hatred on the net, and how it finally appears on the right, these are strong moments. Jörg Hartmanns Faber is not so much the unpredictable psychopath this time. The unrequited desire of the Commissioner but also does not necessarily promote his fitness for service. So he ends up in the center on a bench with a homeless man who once had a shop – “bis Corona“- and he drinks and dances and threatens to crash for good. The young colleague Pawlak (Rick Okon) also has off-duty worries: his once drug addict wife did not pick up the daughter from school.
