Claudio C @Claudio666 Aug 20 Shattered Life (12,634 – 20 Jun 2024 – Claudio Carvalho) "Aus dem Nichts", a.k.a. "In the Fade" (2017), is a very sad movie of a life shattered by an explosion. Divided in three chapter, the first one, "Family", shows the love of the Sekerci family and the destruction by a home-made bomb made by a nazi couple. The second chapter, "Justice", shows that justice of the men is a worldwide garbage no matter the country, and the final destruction of Katja, who had hope that the murders of Nuri and Rocco could have justice. The third chapter, "Mer", is relative to her revenge. Certainly, the viewers (including me), would expect that she could survive in the end. But indeed, she had died twice, when her husband and her son died, and after trying to commit suicide in the bathtub. Indeed, was a prolongation of her life to revenge her beloved ones. The performance of Diane Kruger is fantastic in the role of Katja Sekerci. My vote is eight. Title (Brazil): "Em Pedaços" ("In Pieces") See more Lorry S @Lorz100 08/24/2025 Diane was so good in this movie. It is worth watching based on true events. A story that needs to be told. See more Joe W @JoeWasik 08/01/2025 Not a bad movie. Maybe a little too simple, but it had some entertainment value. See more Kyle M @RT77296778 07/09/2024 Unsatisfying vengeance story and frustrating courtroom drama could accumulate some sort of societal criticism as defense, whilst mainly a captivating solo showcase for Diane Kruger’s definitive caliber. (B) See more Logan D @Greynomad38 06/21/2024 Following the death of her husband and child to a terrorist bombing, Katja's motivation for living is to see the criminals punished. As Katja, Kruger carries this film. Skillfully moving from joy to devastation to resolve, she is ferocious. I felt as though I had viewed a trilogy of short films. The first is losing her husband and grieving. Second, the court room drama. Finally, her decision to finalize the events she has suffered. The director, Akin, and his cinematographer, Rainer Klausmann, impress with their composition of scenes. I'll definitely look for other films by Akin. Some have an issue with the ending but I didn't. Highly recommended. See more Eye C @ECinc 02/04/2024 Great movie, but is so hard to watch it, the injustice, the frustration. Putting that a side, is interesting, and goes to places uncommon, like the family affected is not a perfect good family, no, it's the opposite, for that kind of decisions this gives something out of the ordinary.
