Standard Screen; Bio/Filmographies; English Subtitles; Behind The Scenes WINTER SLEEPERS takes place in Germany's mountainous Berchtesgaden region. The connections between its characters--translator Rebecca (Floriane Daniel), nurse Laura (Marie-Lou Sellem), ski instructor Marco (Heino Ferch), and projectionist Rene (Ulrich Matthes)--are unclear until the day Rene passes Laura's villa. Rene looks inside and sees Rebecca, who lives with Laura, making love with Marco. On a whim, Rene drives off in Marco's car, only to crash into a van driven by local farmer Theo (Josef Bierbichler). The car ends up covered in snow down an incline. Theo's daughter Maria (Sofia Dirscheri) is injured. After taking photographs of the accident, Rene stumbles away. Maria is rushed to hospital and has an operation, at which Laura assists. As in his hyperkinetic RUN LOLA RUN, director Tom Tykwer shows the deeper possibilities of seemingly random encounters.
At the hospital, Laura worries about Maria; out of it, she takes up with Rene. Rene suffers from short-term memory loss. Rebecca, who is always dressed in red, is unhappy with Marco. Marco hunts for his stolen car. And Theo can't convince anyone that another car was involved in the accident. Gradually, events spiral out of control. The pace in WINTER SLEEPERS is stately, but the movie is full of sweeping bravura camera movements cut to Tykwer's own musical score. Originally released theatrically in the US on March 17, 2000 (NY). Winter Sleepers Reviews: "...A slowly spinning psychological thriller..." -- Rating: B+ - EW Recommends

Winter Sleepers film
$12.99 To say that Christopher Nolan's THE DARK KNIGHT is the best comic book adaptation does the film a bit of a disservice. It may be a Batman film, but this isn't a kid-friendly action movie full of the bams and pows of the original series. This is a pitch-black thriller with enough drama and tragedy to please even William Shakespeare, but it will certainly keep both comics fans and uninitiated audiences equally happy. THE DARK KNIGHT starts in the wake of BATMAN BEGINS: with the appearance of Batman (Christian Bale), Gotham City's criminal underworld is unnerved. They're also plagued by the new D.A., Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), who, in his quest for justice, remains above the city's corruption. Enter a new villain, the Joker (Heath Ledger), who wants to unite the criminals for a common purpose: to kill Batman.
THE DARK KNIGHT is one of the most hyped movies to date, and a lesser film would be crushed under the weight of all that expectation. Some of the publicity stems from the early death of Ledger, who turns in an excellent performance. He provides moments of humor, but this Joker is terrifying, sharing more with classic villains such as Hannibal Lechter than with his comic book predecessors. Eckhart is equally good as Dent, and Maggie Gyllenhaal deserves praise for taking ...
