Losegeld (2012)

"Losegeld" is a German thriller wound tight around a kidnapping plot gone wrong. It trades in paranoia and moral compromise rather than big spectacle. Ulrike C. Tscharre carries much of the film's emotional weight as the story pushes its characters toward the edge. Her performance also pulls back the curtain on some of its rawest dramatic beats. The archive holds 6 scenes pulled straight from the film, catching her nude and in various states of undress. It's a compact collection, but a rewarding one for anyone following Tscharre's work. This is a direct route to the film's most exposed stretches, no runtime required.
