Blutige Rache

Ernst Zoller is found dead. He is the fourth man in a short period of time to die from bleeding to death. All the evidence suggests that Lotte Zoller killed her husband. When the woman commits suicide, it initially looks like an admission of guilt.

Directed by Nikolai Müllerschön, Blutige Rache leans on a strong ensemble — Uschi Glas, Gesine Cukrowski, Gerd Silberbauer — 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 screen titles of 1997.
