action
The Berlin yuppie Frank Seltsam likes fast cars, beautiful women, extensive sex and hard drugs. His decadent lifestyle is suddenly disrupted one day when his car is towed and his favorite lingerie goes out in the department store. In addition, Germaine, the woman of his dreams, appears at his party accompanied by another man. His frustration is discharged with a small massacre among noble prostitutes in an orgy of blood, champagne and heroin.
criticism
The film website kino.de describes the film as "an experimental satire based on Bret Easton Ellis' ' American Psycho '". Harald Mühlbeyer says on the website filmzentrale.com that the film is "less stringent than Roehler's second work ' Silvester Countdown ', with some defects in camera work, representation, dubbing" and "with some gaps in the plot, in the relationships between the characters" . It goes on to say: “'Gentleman' is charged with the mixture of the bizarre, macabre, aggressive, and even ironic, which primarily made up the early Roehler films. Bad joke and harsh violence combine, there are no explanations, laconic events lead us further and further into the abyss. "
