It was worth waiting for this clip: SCREENING IN TORONTO

I absolutely adored this film. Thank you so much. It inspired me to continue and take further action within my school for HIV/AIDS pervention. I just recently saw this at the Toronto Film Festival. Thank you so much to Detlev Buck for bringing this beautiful story to film and thank you to David Kross & Apinya Sakuljaroensuk for staying afterwards for autographs and pictures.

Would anyone happen to know when it will be available for DVD release?

It`s really good to see Buck and David Kross working together again because I think these two inspire each other in a very unique way and deliver their finest pieces of work while collaborating with each other.
In my opinion "Knallhart" is Bucks best movie so far and for me personally it`s the best perfomance David Kross ever did to date. Technically speaking his perfomance in "The Reader" was far better, the choeography of the scenes, the little moments, the level of details, this was very well done and I absolutely respect him for this and I think it really brought him forward as an actor but for me personally his perfomance in "Knallhart" is far more intense and - in a certain way - more personal.
There are these two scenes, the first when Pollischka gets beat up for the first time, the second at the end when he basically begs for his life, that really reaches a level of intensity which is so strong and powerful that it even goes beyond the story, beyond the topic of a Neukölln social drama. These scenes are like an earthquake, you`re forced to deal with your own vulnerability, to remember the very first violence in your own life, to think about the choices you made.
And one of the huge acomplishments of Buck and David in this movie is that you as an audience you stay with Pollischka, even if he`s doing things you shouldn`t. Because it`s human, because you understand what he wants. There is this boy who really wants to become somehow invincible, who likes the fact that he suddenly is the king of the universe who wants to destroy him. To show this transformation, to show this dream of invincibility, of peace and silence, Buck subtlety changes the tone of the movie, transforming it from social drama to a genre/gangster/drug movie. And then the breakdown, the catastrophe comes and, in the end, there is finally silence. But not really the silence he wanted.

Well, as you can guess, I really like this one. I just saw it once on DVD and I still remember most of the images and scenes very vividly.

So I am looking forward for their new collaboration, just to see where they went this time.
