action

Dennis is a rather quiet boy and lives in a small town in Brandenburg. It's closed and almost a loner. The guys he shoots around with an air rifle in his spare time are more superficial acquaintances. His only friend is his big brother Philipp, with whom he has a common hobby of wrestling. However, when he is injured at a wrestling event by the aggressive and hated wrestler Eddy the Raptor , Dennis suddenly finds himself alone. He now has to take over all of Philipp's tasks and responsibilities. When he gets to feel his brother's frustration, Dennis swears revenge on Eddy - even if he is more than inferior to the wrestler.

background

In April 2012 the short film celebrated its internal premiere at Kino International in Berlin.

The film was shown for the first time on German television on Thursday, April 26, 2012.

The film was shot on original locations in the Brandenburg towns of Schildow , Glienicke and Bergfelde . The wrestling club shown in the film is the Eurowrestling Company in Bergfelde.

The two main characters are brothers in real life too, and their family's own home served as the set. Her real father also plays in the film, in short scenes, the father of Dennis and Philipp.

reception

“CRAZY DENNIS TIGER is an almost poetic film that comes very close to its characters, but does not expose their mistakes and clumsiness, and which never rises above them. In a long sequence at the end, in which Dennis comes to rest, the film becomes very still. Somewhere between being lost and a new departure; gives hope that there is still a future waiting for you. CRAZY DENNIS TIGER, which started out with such playful violence, is actually a very tender film. "
