Blackout is a crime film in the crime series Bella Block by director Rainer Kaufmann from 2006. In the lead role , Hannelore Hoger embodies the Hamburg chief inspector Bella Block, who, due to her lack of memory, has justified suspicion of having driven a car while drunk and a person having killed.

action

Bella Block, otherwise the talkativeness in person, is conspicuously silent. She is seething with the terrible fear of having killed a person and then lost her memory. How else can it be explained that she has no memory whatsoever of the incident that ultimately led to a dead student being mourned? She was found dead in the passenger seat of a car, next to it was the inspector's handbag.

To make matters worse, Bella Block attended a cultural event the evening the accident happened and, in frustration because of her poor relationship with her partner, probably drank a glass or two too much. She only remembers starting a brief conversation at the event with the student who was later found dead in the car. After that, everything is gone from her memory.

In her coat pocket, Bella Block finds a tuft of hair that, it turns out, comes from the dead student. Bella Block starts to blame herself for the worst. Chief Public Prosecutor Mehlhorn thinks that the evidence is actually enough to remove Chief Inspector Bella Block immediately. Until the case takes a fundamental turn when a hitherto unknown twin sister of the killed student suddenly turns up during the autopsy of the corpse.

Reviews

TV Spielfilm is of the opinion that the director Rainer Kaufmann "[...] stages the artistic milieu in which the film takes place in a very clichéd manner". The summary of the program guide is: “Double-bodied twin drama”.

Rainer Tittelbach sums up that the film is “[...] a perceptual psychological puzzle of great charm”. Furthermore, the critic is of the opinion that the double role of Johanna Wokalek and the camera work by Klaus Eichhammer put the crown on the film.
