“Tatort: The wet nurse” – picturesque Vienna only dark silhouette
The camera is always very close to the figures, creating images in addition to atmospherically haunting moments as well as sequences of whipped fever. The otherwise so picturesque Vienna shows itself here from its dark, dingy side or at best as a nocturnal silhouette.
The visual power holds the “crime scene” together. However, Mike Majzen’s script has one major flaw: It doesn’t explain who Janko really is. And why he became a murderous psychopath. Just to mention that he hates prostitutes and believes he would be a better mother to their children, not convincing.
Janko seems like a cinematic reminiscence of Alfred Hitchcock’s Norman Bates from “Psycho”. Evil personified, so to speak. All in all, however, also thanks to the grandiose acting actors, a brilliant “crime scene” with a tremendous thrill.
