VENICE FILM FESTIVAL 2013 - Die Frau des Polizisten, by Philip Gröning - First look review
From the director of The Great Silence, a very good start to the main competition.
The German director Philip Gröning is one of the protagonists of the first day of the main competition, after yesterday's opening showcase with Gravity.
Eight years after "The Great Silence," Gröning comes back to Venice with his new film, "The Police Officer's Wife" (Die Frau des Polizisten), a 175 minute family drama that describes rather effectively the delicate psychological mechanisms affecting a woman abused by her husband.
