About Himmel, Polt und Hölle
Policeman Simon Polt is on cloud nine. He finally has the village teacher Karin in his arms. But soon he's forced to look into the depths of humanity again: the priest's cook has been found dead. Was it the gourmet critic? The feisty woman had poured soup over his head the night before, in shock at the sight of an illustrious dinner party...
Directed by Julian Pölsler, Himmel, Polt und Hölle leans on a strong ensemble — Erwin Steinhauer, Monica Bleibtreu, Günther Maria Halmer — 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 comedy titles of 2002.
