Sweet-sour chicken.

Wolfgang Murnberger look in his third film about the private detective abgehalfterten burner again with cold derision behind false idyll in Austria.

 

In Vienna, it was the murderous battles between two rival competitors rescue companies. In Salzburg, he has the scandalous operations in a Knabenkonvikt revealed. If the private detective abgehalfterte Brenner (Josef Hader) are identified, then he finds the dirt where there is nobody else expected. And this is a very special icon Austrian tradition and idyllic in the series: the chicken is baking station.

Because something is wrong in this idyllic inn Löchenkohl, which is the tastiest chicken back in the country boasts, in its monstrous Knochenmahlmaschine next Geflügelgebein but apparently sometimes a human bone is crushed.

Actually wanted Brenner, missgelaunt as always, only the artist Horvath find a lease rate for its rental cars involved. But he is gone. And none may tell you where he is. So is the burner a little bit here and sniffs with his not being overly enthusiastic kind in the area around. If yes nothing else to do, and the lovely waitress Birgit (recently deservedly with the Silver Bear excellent Birgit Minichmayr) is married, but are interested. And because there where the burner is present, the swamp of the crime had been particularly deep, it is also not in a missing persons case. Because to hide something here everyone: whether the old Löchenkohl personally (Josef Bierbichler), his incompetent offspring (Helmut Vinaccia), or the silent waitress (Pia Hierzegger).

After "Come, sweet death" and "Silentium" is Wolfgang Murnberger "The Bone Man" the third film adaptation of Wolf Haas' crime novel series to the Austrian private detective. As always, he has the act of submission, together with the author himself and the main actor Hader has clearly changed, also to connoisseurs of the template in a good mood to keep it without vergrätzen. All characters and plot lines are gone, the old woman deleting Kohl and the enigma of her disappearance, there is not - but the scene and especially the spirit of the original remain. As with its predecessors served Murnberger this sweet-sour story with wit and a quiet calm but merciless wickedness. Idyllically is behind the postcards in this motif nothing Austria. But exciting.
