About Blumen für Polt
Gendarmerie inspector Simon Polt in the Weinviertel region finds it too much of a coincidence when crook Riebel is killed in a motorcycle accident and his friend Willi is found dead on the same day. But the residents of the otherwise peaceful Lower Austrian wine village make Polt's investigation anything but easy.
Directed by Julian Pölsler, Blumen für Polt leans on a strong ensemble — Erwin Steinhauer, Heinz Frölich, Peter Simonischek — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2001.
