23 - 13th September 2006

I can't really review this film properly as I've seen it several times before. I went to see it again because I think it's great and there was also an introduction by Maggie Hoffgen from the Goethe Institut.

Maggie's introduction was occasionally illuminating but she also for some reason gave us a resume of the film we were about to see. Anyway, despite being shown on the smallest screen in the Cornerhouse, the sound and picture not being the best quality and the picture being at a strange angle all the way through, it was nice to see the film again.

When I first saw it at 17 I was really taken in by the slow-boiling paranoia, the German-ness of it and the slight homo-erotic subtext. And even after several viewings 23 was still intriguing to me.

I am not going to rate it but I still think this is great.
