This is the third film in the Stuttgart Weird Weekender Festival.
At this point I'm starting to think that none of the films are really weird.
"Vexier" is a stunning social drama. It's about a woman who wants to escape
from an abusive relationship. I shan't say more than that. No monsters, no
weird special effects, nothing trashy, just a powerful film.
The film's director and cinematographer are local boys. They've been making
amateur films since their teens. This was their first feature film. It was
made on a small budget, about 20,000 Euros gathered by crowdfunding. Nothing
about it looks cheap. It's well polished, outstanding quality. It's not an
original story, but as I've often said, a film doesn't need to be original to
be good.
A surprise guest was the Swabian comedian Dodokay, alias Dominik Kuhn. He said
that he briefly appeared in the film, but I didn't see him. Maybe I
misunderstood.
