Die schöne Tote

In the latest of his analytic montage films, Jan Soldat examines the role of dead women in popular narrative. The clips all originate from the German TV series A Case For Two, and it soon becomes clear that the women themselves are of no importance. They exist merely as corpses to discover, a crime that sets the police procedures in motion that are the true star of the show. Soldat finds that the only variation lies in how the women are dispatched: shot, stabbed, strangled, drowned; all resolutely silent. DIE SCHÖNE TOTE is both tribute and indictment. (Michael Sicinski)
