GERMAN FILM:
I Am Guilty (2005) - Falscher Bekenner
CRIME - DRAMA - ROMANCE - NORDRHEIN-WESTFALEN - CONTEMPORARY

Armin Steeb (Constantin von Jascheroff) is fresh out of college and at loose ends. Pressured by his overbearing parents to get a job, he rebels by claiming responsibility for crimes he didn't commit, scrawling lewd graffiti and indulging in masochistic sexual fantasies. But what is imaginary and what is real? Directed by Christoph Hochhäusler, this darkly comic German drama also stars Manfred Zapatka and Victoria Trauttmansdorff.

For those who don't like abstract films and have a shorter attention span, I would not recommend it -- otherwise it's an interesting trip into the mind of a kid who's lonely and confused and looking to get noticed. It also shows rather typical  -- albeit dysfunctional -- everyday family life in a suburban town in Nordrhein-Westfalen.
