This is how the Frankfurt “crime scene” becomes: crazy psycho trip

by time news

FLet’s tackle the following horror trip with my father. Fathers like to be good for horror trips. He was an ophthalmologist. A psychologist was on duty in his practice. My father didn’t like him that much.

Because, as a regular medical doctor, he basically couldn’t stand psychologists. Because they – his words, not mine – all needed treatment themselves, had a – flippantly said – on the waffle.

A statistical survey of the mental states of psychologists in Sunday night crime novels would probably lead to the conclusion that my father would actually have made a very good screenwriter. Most of them (and we now generously include psychiatrists and psychotherapists), if they appear in “Tatort” and “Polizeiruf”, were and are actually needy and so out of heart that you almost want to comfort them.

In a format with little claim to reality (horror films, horror dramas) that wouldn’t actually be a problem. In the “crime scene” it is of course already. Unless you are in Hesse. Whether it’s Ulrich Tukur’s inspector Felix Murot in Wiesbaden or Wolfram Koch and Margarita Broich’s Frankfurt investigators Brix and Janneke, who have been welcoming each other for years, they have a very special penchant for the horrific.

If a case is then called “life death ecstasy”, one is actually already warned that things are not going right this time. And maybe it’s better to take Monday off. For detox.

In this case, you should – anticipating this – actually do it. Anyone who has never experimented with drugs of the strength of lysergic acid diethylamide or with drugs at all will leave it afterwards. It is possible that the federal government’s drug commissioner is behind this “crime scene”. We would now have to ask Nikias Chryssos and Michael Comtesse, who are responsible for bringing about this trip as screenwriters (both) and director (Chryssos).

Drugs in non-alcoholic champagne

What they set out to do, a kind of immersive Sunday night crime drug rush, they pull off with a dreamlike ease. During this dangerously colored hour and a half, we feel like the psychonauts trying to break through into their own selves in Doctor Adrian Goser’s creepy villa with the help of hallucinogenic substances dissolved in (creepy!) non-alcoholic champagne.

And in the end we sit in our armchairs so drowsy that we actually have to go through the horror story a second time to really find out how this could have happened to us again. But we prefer not to do that. Or maybe not? It was nice too. Maybe next week.

What: HR/ARD

Back to the beginning and what is the case. As long as we’re still sane. Viewed soberly, the following happens: In Goser’s villa, which he actually inherited from his mother against his will (that’s of course very suspicious for psychologists), and with all its haunted house character is the actual main character of this “crime scene”, Goser treats people who cannot be helped otherwise, by means of psycholysis. This is a method frowned upon even by psychologists, to bring the inside out of traumatized people under the influence of drugs in the hope of healing.

So this is what happens at the beginning. Goser, author of the book “Leben Tod Ekstasy”, babbles the best of the empty sentences of a good dozen self-discovery seminars (journey to the origin, to ourselves, no longer thinking, just feeling, letting go). Then there’s drinking. Then everything goes wrong.

One smashes a bottle and stabs his penis. One jumps out of the window, knowing she can fly. In the end, Goser’s six self-seekers found their deaths. And Goser comes into another building with really bad karma. In jail.

Then he stands in a courtyard, has a sparrow in his fist, which immediately makes you worry, and babbles on again. Of bird and freedom. Goser is a kind of Richard David Precht of psycholysis. Quite a lover, a guru and a big kid, naive and yet or because of it dangerous, his perception of reality must have been messed up before the drugs.

What you can tell, for example, by the fact that he asks everyone what their favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger film is. Because you can tell who someone is by the answer to that question. Arnie’s films are like zodiac signs. Arnie’s filmography revolves around all fundamental questions of mankind. Adrian Goser has a hard time. My father would have been delighted with him.

Martin Wuttke is Adrian Goser. He is grandiose in all his rage. He is the only one who can compete with the villa in terms of horror and danger. Brix and Janneke bring him there in a kind of confrontation therapy. To find out what actually went wrong back then.

And then there they are. Goser sees strange things hanging in the tree. And the doors snap shut. Pretty much exactly half is gone. shots are fired. blood flows. A mercilessly bad rapping policeman is smothered. Goser’s spooky past rears its Medusa head.

Nikias Chryssos and Michael Comtesse let us stagger through the prehistory in flashbacks. The pictures make you wonder. The music still haunts you for days. You still have a flickering in front of your eyes the next morning.

What: HR/ARD

The fact that Brix and Janneke at the end – they drink a beer in a bar that is also hallucinogenic, which sparkles so crazy that we probably would have left it – is hard to believe that they are on first-name terms the next day.

The sparrow, by the way, that Goser is holding in his hand in prison, that’s the only thing you can spoil for all militant animal rights activists, the sparrow survives.
