Cinema "Tatort" by Til Schweiger on ORF One «DiePresse.com



[ad_1]

Many popular and long established television formats have made their time in the era of streaming services. The "crime scene" is one of the exceptions. The crime movie series celebrated its 45th anniversary in 2015 and is considered the quintessential Sunday night entertainment. Thrillers are also present in social media, Twitter is the "crime scene" badet, found every Sunday in the short message service trends. Since Til Schweiger is part of the franchise – he screams, Pardon, determined since 2013 as Commissioner Nick Tschiller in Hamburg – fans are divided. Fist fights instead of "Faust" quotes, Bodycount instead of irrigation, so the motto. The seers are wondering on Twitter: is it still a "crime scene"? Colleagues are also skeptical about Schweiger's episodes: "These are not my favorite crime scenes, and I think it's odd to want to be Bruce Willis," said Udo Wachtveitl, who plays the role of commissioner Munich Franz Leitmayr

. Schweiger aka Tschiller has dared to take the big screen in four TV episodes in 2016 with the episode "Tschiller: Off Duty". This was not the first "crime scene" of its kind – 1985 and 1987 tried to establish Schimanski (played by Götz George) as a movie product. Today, "Off Duty" is on ORF television – but (unusual for a "crime scene") on ORF one (8:15 pm).

Almost Against The Mafia Alone

The plot of "Off Duty" follows the previous four episodes. Nick Chiller's daughter, Lenny (Schweiger's daughter, Luna Schweiger), travels to Istanbul with false papers to avenge her mother's death. He must answer for Firat Astan (Erdal Yıldız), sworn enemy of the commissioner Tschiller. The attempted murder fails. The teenager is sold to a Turkish-Russian trafficker around the dubious Suleiman Seker (famos: Özgür Emre Yıldırım). His father takes the runway to Istanbul, meets his old friend Idris Ervan (played by Venetian Murathan Muslu) and later to Istanbul prison on Yalcin Gümer (Fahri Yardım), his fellow commissars from Hamburg. ,

Schweiger's "Tatort" cinema was above all a thing: no "crime scene" – as paradoxical as this conclusion may seem. The viewer is overwhelmed at the beginning of the huge police "Tschiller". The star is not the series, the star is silence. "Tschiller does not inquire, Tschiller is fighting," said Schweiger himself in an interview at the DPA news agency.

The character joins the well-known heroes: A bit of Bond (in the film, there are parallels with Istanbul) in "Skyfall"), "Die Hard" and "Taken" / "96 hours". In the German media, the visually appealing Schweiger film, which should have cost at least eight million euros, received very good reviews. It was better than the last James Bond movie, it was even said. This verdict was probably too presumptuous. This was not due to too long playing time (135 minutes!), But mainly because of typical Schweiger dialogues: "It's tripe soup." – "It looks like Pferdewichse." – "And it's also good taste."
