Irish Film Institute -Four Minutes

Four Minutes

Director: Chris Kraus

Germany 2006| 114 mins


Kruger teaches piano to inmates in a women’s penitentiary. Jenny has killed a man, and is discovered to be an accomplished musician. As a national competition gives their prison a chance of favourable press, Kruger and Jenny must come together to fight prison authority, a haunted past and find love in each other’s arms. Winner of the German equivalent to the Best Film BAFTA, from the deafening opener to an electrifying finale, there are few moments in 4 Minutes that don’t overwhelm in one way or another.
