Just in time for the beginning of the school year, Nikias Chryssos' Der Bunker arrives on Blu-ray and DVD. It is a strange one. Quoting from the official synopsis: "A student (Pit Bukowski, Der Samurai) rents a room in a bunker home nestled deep within a forest. Here, instead of finding tranquility for his studies, the young man becomes increasingly involved in the dramas of his landlord's family." I saw the film at Fantastic Fest last year and found it quite odd and betwitching ... eventually: Making his feature debut, Nikias Chryssos spends the first part of the film setting up a pitch black comedy, filled it with the sort of mean-spirited, intentionally bizarre, and absurd humor that normally makes my skin crawl. Without giving...

German language cinema has made a number of entries into genre fare over the past year, from the horror film Goodnight Mommy to the one-take thriller Victoria, complementing a stable of well-regarded dramatic fare that includes films such as Das Boot, Funny Games, and The Lives of Others. Newcomer Nikias Chryssos, however, is poised to add to the fare with his feature filmmaking debut Der Bunker. The film’s synopsis is as follows.
A young student seeks quiet and solitude to focus on an important work but ends up as the teacher of a peculiar boy who is home-schooled by his parents in an isolated bunker mansion.
Chryssos takes on both writing and directing duties for the film, which made its Us Premiere at the 2015 Fantastic Fest. The cast includes Pit Bukowski, Daniel Fripan, and Oona von Maydell, and the film’s Us trailer has now been released. The trailer can be seen below,...

It’s hard for a mother to remain unemotional when she watches her baby leave the proverbial coop, but Der Bunker is what happens when those feelings manifest into a hostage scenario of sorts. It’s your atypical twisted fairytale about a boy, locked away from the world without any sense of maturation, but that’s only where we begin. Der Bunker then delves into absolute insanity by introducing the likes of a festering wound that oversees the homemade prison like a God, primitive punishments, and questionable breastfeeding practices – a line of brilliance that German filmmaker Nikias Chryssos dances upon with unimaginable ferocity.
Pit Bukowski plays a young academic (referred to as “Student”), who seeks quiet refuge so he can advance the realms of science with his new Higgs particle theory (science-y stuff). Upon entering his newly rented room, the student meets a family who is as frugal as they are strange.

Der Bunker
Written & Directed by Nikias Chryssos
Germany, 2015
Der Bunker is like some abandoned back-alley shopping cart full of fascinating curiosities that don’t quite tell a complete story. The feature debut of German director Nikias Chryssos is a Lynchian labyrinth of disconnected weirdness that still feels oddly satisfying. A horror-comedy that strives to disturb rather than scare, Der Bunker meticulously creates a world of perverse pleasures.
Things start innocently enough with the Student (Pit Bukowski) responding to an advertisement about an apartment for rent… in a secluded bunker. “Didn’t the ad mention a lake view?” he asks the peculiar caretaker, known only as Father (David Scheller). The Student is looking for peace and quiet to finish his tangential research on Higgs particles, so a bunker in the middle of the German wilderness seems like the perfect setting for uninterrupted solitude. Too bad his renters have other plans for him.

A student needs a quiet place to live while he writes a scientific paper, and so he tramps out into the deep, snowy woods to a small, isolated house and takes a look at a small, dank basement room without windows. 'It has no light!' he complains to his prospective landlord, who promptly replies, 'None can get out!' His words prove to be prophetic, for the unnamed young man, referred to as Student (Pit Bukowski), soon finds himself an intimate acquaintance of the other residents of the house. In addition to the landlord, referred to as Father (David Scheller), and his wife, referred to as Mother (Oona von Maydell), there is Klaus (Daniel Fripan), possibly the oldest-looking 8-year-old child in human history. And there is...

Director/writer: Till Kleinert. Cast: Michel Diercks, Pit Bukowski. Der Samurai is, essentially, Till Kleinert's bizarre, gruesome take on “Little Red Riding Hood,” mixed with the typical 'making of a samurai' story. Kleinert's picture brings something strange and ferocious to a fairy tale that is often lacklustre in its re-telling. The samurai component may not appease samurai cinema enthusiasts, however heads do roll, and the combination of the two story lines surprisingly works well together in this twisted, Lynchian nightmare. Although some of the concepts are over done, the acting is convincing and the cinematography is brilliant. This film is definitely worth watching for lovers of creepy, arthouse cinema, but steer clear if you're after a blockbuster slasher flick.

Jakob (Michel Diercks) tries to unleash the beast.
It’s a small production originally made as a graduation film, but it has drawn praise from critics around the world and festival audiences love it. Now The Samurai is set for DVD release in the UK. The story of a shy policeman in a small German town and the mysterious cross-dressing stranger who tries to bring him out of his shell by wreaking havoc with a sword – and who just might be connected to the wolf he has secretly been feeding – it’s a film that is greater than the sum of its parts, a film that challenges and entertains without sacrificing its central ambiguity. It was a pleasure to talk to its young director, Till Kleinert, and ask where it all began.

“I’d been a student for a very long time,” he told me.

The Samurai is the latest horror film to come out of Germany, and unlike it’s splatter brethren to which I am more accustomed, this is less of a typical plot-led story and more a fantastical, metaphorical fairytale that explores the struggle with sexual identity.
The plot, what there is of it, follows police officer Jakob (Diercks), a quiet, some would say naive, young man who is obsessed with a wolf that is creating havoc on the small-town he calls his beat. When a package arrives at the station addressed to Lone Wolf, it’s owner calling one night asking for him to deliver it to a mysterious cabin in the woods, Jakob can’t help but be intrigued. Going to the abandoned house, Jakob finds the packages owner, a strange young man wearing a white dress,...

The Festival du Nouveau Cinema has arrived and because of it’s strong line-up, there is no way it is possible to see everything worth watching. Faced with an impossible task I proposed myself to focus on just one section of this year’s festival, Temps Ø, which is celebrating it’s 10th year in 2014. This section features the more obscure and rebel films of the Fnc, programed for an audience who enjoy witty cinematic experiences. My most anticipated films from the Temps Ø section this year is a mix of genres and styles that explore different themes and influences.

“I’m your boyfriend now, Nancy.” It may be hard to believe, but it’s been thirty years since Robert Englund’s Freddy Krueger said those words to Heather Langenkamp’s Nancy in Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street.

The German horror film Der Samurai is set to premiere at this year's Tribeca Film Festival, and today we've got some head-rolling, blood-flying goodies for ya while we wait.
Check out the trailer for the film along with poster art and a gallery of bloody stills!
Written and directed by Till Kleinert, Der Samurai stars Michael Schumacher, Uwe Preuss, Pit Bukowski, and Ulrike Bliefert.
Synopsis
A samurai-wielding figure wearing a white dress lurks menacingly in the forest, waiting to descend upon an unsuspecting village in the muddy backwaters of rural East Germany. As heads roll with each stroke of his sword, dutiful, straight-laced cop Jakob becomes increasingly powerless to resist the draw of the Samurai’s feral otherness. The two enter into a bizarre folie à deux as Jakob is forced to confront his own carnal impulses that he has long sought to repress.
