The Banker
(1989)
Someone is killing high-priced hookers with a
crossbow, leaving an obscure South American symbol written in blood
on the wall near them. We know the killer is a big deal investment
banker who no longer gets enough thrill from power and money. The
detective assigned to the case, Robert Forster, is not let in on the
secret for most of the film. He and his new partner are trying to
solve the crimes before his ex-wife (Shanna Reed), a news reporter,
irritates the killer and becomes the next victim.
The writer of the film is quick to point out in comments at IMDb
that the film has something of a cult following. I can see why. It was
a quick, painless watch for me. Given a low budget, it's not a bad
little unrated police procedural. The actors (including Bobby from
Taxi and the original Shaft) are competent, there is some humor, the
villain is pure evil, there is excellent nudity from Teri Weigel, and
the story moves along well.

IMDb readers say 4.2 based on only 68 votes
It is only available in the US from RLDVDs.com on
an all-region PAL DVD from Scandinavia. It is a full screen version,
but that aspect ratio was created from the full 35 mm negative, so
there's no cropping. Of course the boom mike has more screen time than any of the characters, but
only because the film was meant to be projected in a widescreen ratio,
so the top and bottom of the frame were meant to be off-camera. The
audio is in English and the transfer is so-so.
You know the drill. Click on the little picture to get all the
details.
Terri Weigel shows breasts and possible bush. Christina Walker
shows her left breasts, and Leigh Wood and an unknown show a right
breast.

Wer früher stirbt, ist länger tot
(Whoever dies first is dead longer)
A nice German Comedy about a 11-year-old, Sebastian Schneider (Markus Krojer), who lives in a small Bavarian village with his older brother and his widowed father Lorenz (Fritz Karl), who runs the local tavern.
Sebastian is a real pain in the ass, and after accidentally killing the rabbits of the family, his brother Franz tells him that their mother died when Sebastian was born, and that Sebastian is responsible for her death. Sebastian fears that together with his more than 2000 other secret sins, this is surely enough to condemn him into purgatory. And there are just two ways to avoid purgatory: to atone for his sins, or to achieve immortality.
Sebastian's advisers are the regulars of his father's inn, but while their pieces of advice are well-meant, they are more of the lowbrow kind and not always suited for an 11-year-old, leading amongst other misfortunes to Sebastian making an indecent proposal to his teacher Veronika Dorstreiter (Jule Ronstedt) and planning the murder of her husband when they suggest his father needs to find a new woman "with skills, brains, a nice ass and able to give him a ticking-off." Sebastian thinks Veronika is the one and believes his dead mother gave her agreement.
