Silicone Walli is a television film by Wolfgang Limmer from the crime series Polizeiruf 110 . The film, produced for Bayerischer Rundfunk , was first broadcast on May 26, 2002. It is the 239th police order and the 7th case for Jürgen Tauber . For Jo Obermaier it is the fourth case that she investigates together with Tauber.
action
A telephone call directs the tabloid reporter Harry Hauck to the Diana temple in Munich's Hofgarten early in the morning . There lies a corpse - the city-famous bosom miracle Lotte "Lo" König. Jürgen Tauber and Jo Obermaier investigate and quickly find out that Hauck had received a tip over the phone. This comes from the victim's manager, Alfred "Fred" Fink, who runs GT-Event . Waltraud “Silikon Walli” Krämer, who claims to be a good friend of the victim, is one of his clients. She explains to Tauber that she found the victim dead in bed early in the morning and after she informed Fred, they brought the "Lo" to the park. While Tauber and Obermaier are researching who could have had a reason to murder the erotic model , it turns out that she herself had taken an overdose of medication because she only had to live with pain due to the abnormal breast enlargement.
Now that "silicone Walli" is the only breast miracle that Alfred Fink still has, he wants her to have her breasts operated on even more. Walli refuses, however, and turns to Tauber for help, who is similar to and sympathetic to her due to his disability. She would rather sing than just present her bust to the public forever. But she allows her manager to wrap her up with gifts and feigned expressions of love and agrees to have another breast enlargement. Although the cosmetic surgeon Dr. Mirko Storkic advises against it, because the patient's anatomy is not made for it, she lets the operation go through. As a result, she too only suffers from pain and even collapses in front of the camera, so that her implants have to be removed again in an emergency operation.
Tauber tries in vain to blame manager Alfred Fink for the death of “Lo” and the suffering of “Silicone Walli”. He only succeeds in prosecuting the cosmetic surgeons for administering illegal narcotics. This then hangs himself.
background
The film was shot in Munich in 2001. For the role of "Silicon Walli", Nadeshda Brennicke was worked on by a special-effect make-up artist for three hours every day of shooting, in order to transform the petite actress into "a more than busty silicone blonde with apparently just as unnaturally inflated, red lips."
reception
criticism
Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv says: “'Silicone Walli' is about the loneliness of two disabled people. What the one-armed deaf has too little, the silicone bomb Walli has too much. The BR went unusually far to show the painful effects of those cosmetic surgeries. That almost prevented the broadcast at 8:15 p.m. in 2002. Then it was decided to re-cut the TV crime thriller and remove some drastic sex and violence scenes. "
The Berliner Zeitung also expresses its appreciation and writes: “Who would have thought that the figure of the one-armed cynic could be found so much delicacy? Nadeshda Brennicke as Walli congenially holds the balance between grotesque artificiality and real despair. Michaela May, as Tauber's colleague Obermaier, is holding back this time wisely to give the Selge / Brennicke couple leeway. "
The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm gave the best rating (thumbs up) and think it was a “galling billing with bust sizes, obsession with beauty and sensationalism.” In addition, a “social satire with hearty, evil dialogues”.
"Because the film (book: Wolfgang Limmer, director: Manfred Stelzer) renounces all voyeurism, there is time for tender episodes, including the budding love between the crippled inspector and the tortured bosom miracle."
Award
Nadeshda Brennicke was nominated for the German Television Award 2002 in the category Best Actress Supporting Role.
