action

A naked man fell to his death from an upper floor of an apartment building. When exploring the alleged crime scene, an empty apartment, by Goster and other colleagues, a sudden shot through a locked door kills one of the police officers. Goster has a heart attack and faints. There is no trace of Sagittarius. What remains is the riddle of a fired pistol in an empty, locked room and Inspector Goster, who must have seen the alleged double murderer. But his memories are as if erased by the faint during a heart attack.

With the help of his young, humorous and hard-working colleague Hannelore Klost, the facts about the dead are determined. Where did the gun come from, what was the dead man doing in the empty apartment, why was he wearing a geranium behind his ear are open questions. While the pieces of the puzzle are being put together, house calls, arrests and interrogations are being made, an absurd sex date website is being found and what appears to be order in the case, Goster creeps more and more into the idea that it is the guns themselves that are shooting at people.

publication

After the premiere on June 30, 2016 in Munich, the German premiere took place on May 16, 2017 at 11 p.m. on Das Erste . The film was originally produced for the slot “Filmmittwoch im Erste” at 8:15 pm, but ultimately it was considered too artistic. Before that, on April 27, 2017 in the Singen cultural center GEMS, there was a preview followed by a workshop discussion with the director Didi Danquart and the author of the novella Gerd Zahner . Goster was nominated for the 54th Grimme Prize 2018 in the fiction category. The novel on which the film is based was published by Transit Verlag on August 27, 2018 .

Reviews

This section consists only of a cunning collection of quotes from movie reviews. Instead, a summary of the reception of the film should be provided as continuous text, which can also include striking quotations, see also the explanations in the film format .

“A highlight is Didi Danquart's film" Goster ", a crime thriller with comic sequences. Unusual television that comes into its own on the big screen. "

- Bernhard Blöchl, Süddeutsche Zeitung

“An experimental work that knows how to polarize primarily through its stylistic devices. Nevertheless or because of that: The film works [...] "

- Frank Hohlfeldt, Südkurier

“[...] Director Didi Danquart shot a thriller with“ Goster ”, which also wants to stand out stylistically from the daily TV crime thriller. With success. Even if the unusually designed moments with a film noir attitude are sometimes exhibited a little too much, and the leading actor duo Bruno Cathomas and Julia Riedler are supposed to be reminiscent of classic Hollywood screwball comedy couples, but then both seem rather brittle - praise for the courage to dare to do something else belongs to this television game. An unusual, often even philosophical film. "

- Tobias Sunderdiek, Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung

“Director Danquart's work gratefully stands out from the thriller crowd, because it is not a pure real-life film - comic sequences that keep appearing also lead through the story. This not only loosens up the tight storyline, but also met with approval from critics - whether involuntary or not, the production also reminds of Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill", in which this stylistic device was used in a similar way. "

- prisma.de

“[...] So stoned, so great, Didi Danquart staged Markus Busch's book. With various split screens, often drawn by the comic artist FuFu Frauenwahl, everything is nested above, below and in one another so that maximum performance is demanded of attention. But it's worth it: Crime has never been more fascinating than here. "

- Jan Friday, New Germany

“Of course,“ Goster ”deserves to be let loose on the audience at 8.15 p.m. in Das Erste. Since this HR peculiarity could disturb 80 percent of the audience, the art house crime story is perhaps better off in the night program. [...] but the humorous game with existentialist ideas and many film and literature quotes knows how to entertain those who get involved in this madness. "

- Eric Leimann, Weser Courier

“It is seldom as imaginative and unpredictable as in“ Goster ”on German television [...] Didi Danquart uses many animations to stage a film reality that does not want to be realistic. Violence and sex as comics, garnished with philosophical dialogues, an existentialistic joke, casual & ironic instead of intellectually instructive. Cathomas & Riedler are a wonderful duo. There is no shortage of thrillers, but for "gosters" applies: more please! "

- Thomas Gehringer, tittelbach.tv

"Disturbed, but awesome [...] Didi Danquart's" Goster ", based on a novel by Gerd Zahner, is being sold by the Hessischer Rundfunk as a" psychological thriller ", or better: under-sold. In fact, it's a mixture of pulp, poetry and philosophy, real and animated films, comedy and suspense - a risk that you rarely see on television. "

- Arno Frank, Spiegel Online

"'Goster' is an unusual television thriller that is well worth seeing."

- Matthias Heine, Welt Online

"The weird thriller" Goster "convinces with strong actors and comic elements."

- Petra Koruhn, Hamburger Abendblatt

“Didi Danquart's psychological thriller“ Goster ”is a big thing [...] The nicest thing besides the stuffed trumpet coolness and the humor that the comic sequences bring with them is that the director Didi Danquart and the scriptwriter Markus Busch don't overuse the effect. After all, "Goster" has no shortage of ideas and unusual scenes. [...] When will part two come? "

- Matthias Hannemann, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

“Everything in this film by director Didi Danquart is first class. Especially the drawn elements from the pen of the illustrator Fufu Frauenwahl: As if by magic, film scenes are transformed into artful comic pictures. The surreal seems much more real here than the realism of conventional thrillers. "

- Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung

"So a culinary thriller, rich in delicate intricacies, deliberately set apart from the usual, thoughtful, melancholy - and, in its own and very clever way, extremely funny."

- Harald Keller, Frankfurter Rundschau
