Murder Mindfully: Season 1 all episodes Season 1, Ep 1
When a workaholic defense attorney’s wife signs him up for a mindfulness course, he takes it to heart. Except now, he’s using his newly minted coping mechanisms to off anyone who disrupts his work-life balance. The German dark comedy series Murder Mindfully, based on the novel by Karsten Dusse, stars Tom Schilling. Written by Doron Wisotzky (Hagen), the show was directed by Boris Kunz (Paradise), Martina Plura (Unsichtbarer Angreifer), and Oscar nominee Max Zähle (Raju).
Available on Netflix.
Movie: Happy End
[TRAILER] A man's life story is shown backwards, even as he narrates it as though it is forwards. He recounts his birth from a guillotine, being raised in a prison, etc. Events occur backwards, people are born from death, conversations proceed in reverse order, variously resulting in sheer situational comedy or dadaist nonsense. A dark comedy about crime and consequences from the Czech New Wave. [more inside]
