Der Knochenmann [The Bone Man] (2009) - Austrian

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1181927/

Plot & Summary
What is it about great European indies that make them so endlessly fascinating and watchable? The Bone Man is another example. It’s two hours of terrific entertainment. It kept me guessing throughout and I appreciated the exquisite quality of everything in the frame here: the acting, the cinematography, the music.
The script is pitch perfect too. Lead actor Josef Hader as “Brenner” does wonders simply with an aged, weathered gaze. His facial expressions are a symphonic performance in and of themselves. Playing a retired cop, now reluctant repo man, he keeps getting pulled back in to do one last job. A familiar storyline. But when he heads to the country to find a lemon yellow Beetle, things don’t exactly unfold as planned.
The supporting cast is equally strong.

Is it a thriller? A farce? A dark comedy? I’ll leave that for you to figure out. One thing it definitely is: awesome.
