In his new film, controversial, pioneering cult director and legendary queer activist Rosa von Praunheim focuses his lens on a recent, true criminal case involving a German serial killer. Lars, a male nurse from Saarbrucken, moves with his lover Roland, a sweet spirited musician with a lilting voice, to Berlin. They renovate an apartment with the intention of finally living together. For Roland, their happiness seems almost complete. What he doesn’t know, however, is that while secretly checking out Berlin’s nightlife, Lars is experimenting with a deadly poison – an obsession that will lead to a horrific outcome for the couple. Using a psychiatric tribunal as a framing device, Von Praunheim expertly balances Lars’ twisted fantasies with Roland’s dreams of a blissful romance. Contains images that may be disturbing to some viewers. Co-sponsored by the Goethe Institut. (Chicago Reeling Film Fest)

Darkroom – Drops of Death has some very strange visuals and direction, and while it offers a pretty solid premise, the execution is a bit lackluster. There were certain points in the film where I didn't like the way they played with the production design and tried to evoke the inner feelings of the characters. Apart from that, I found the film more suitable for television rather than having potential for cinema screens. Of all the characters, the stern judge appealed to me the most, otherwise the performances were rather bland. It's a shame the crime plot, which had some potential, was so blandly presented.
