pellet: globetrotter in CinemaxX Oldenburg
ROLLERCOASTER
One of the absolute bright spots of this year's Berlinale, is undoubtedly the documentation ROLLERCOASTER to life Norbert Witte's been, and now it is finally with us to see in the cinema and everyone can be convinced that the praise of press and public are fully deserved:
Born in Hamburg, Norbert Witte wrote at the beginning of the millennium Germany's headlines when he rode the Berlin Spree in Treptow Park Plänterwald with 15 million € in the chalk and lined up a whopping queue of 160 creditors. 2002, Witte and his family sat and various rides from illegal to Peru in order to start over. The break failed, but the debt remained. With a risky drug business, where he wanted to ship 167 kilos of cocaine in a carousel to Germany was planning to redevelop the Witte, but it ruined his marriage and brought not only himself but also his then 20-year-old son Marcel behind bars. But while Witte at the time of the arrest of a chance because of heart surgery in Germany stayed where it was in May 2008 released early from prison, it has caught son Marcel significantly worse. He still sits in jail in Peru and fears every day in extreme conditions of detention for his life. The attempts of the family, get him released by bribes, have failed all of them ...
The greatest pound Doerfler film is its protagonist: Norbert Witte, heart and soul performers and son of the impostor Otto Witte, is such a colorful and exciting personality that the mere retelling of the Life would be a bank already. But villagers also has a sensitive cinematic flair. He staged the now-overgrown ruins Spreepark as almost surreal place that bears witness of what used to be. It would have been easy to demonstrate the dubious Norbert Witte, as it did about the Berlin daily press. This error does not villagers, he goes beyond the headlines and takes a keener eye on the person. For all its faults radiate Witte sheer charisma, and is sometimes even charming. He confesses his sins while acknowledging they play but also down. Doerfler succeeds effortlessly, the gamut of emotions to play up and down. "Rollercoaster" is tragic, menacing, dramatic and often funny, because the performers family is just so steadfast and has found her own attitude to the world. 
Conclusion: "roller coaster" is a colorful, finely drawn character and environment study, which offers everything a gripping documentary that is: highly interesting characters, a ludicrous story and an atmospheric production, which is the Format Cinema proves worthy and well ranked above the level of the usual television reports.
