Tykwer’s debut, a dark psychological thriller, draws us slowly but surely into Maria’s strange world. Tension mounts as she is buffeted by interactions with her abusive husband, demanding father and a meek paramour. This housewife, who initially appears outwardly unassuming and unremarkable, is shown to possess an inner landscape of mind which is twisted and scarred. Techniques of German Expressionist cinema gradually give us insight into her psyche. (Fresh Film Fest)

Another inspection of an inhospitable German apartment full of frustrations, complexes, redolent secrets, and strange artifacts. I've been stumbling across them more and more lately, and they've become my favorite stage for all those bleak tales of unfulfilled despair, see The Death King, The Golden Glove, or Possession. But maybe that's why I don't find much unique about Deadly Maria. It's got great cinematography, a good sense of humor, lots of nice details, but it flails around its main theme like a kid in the mud. I was interested to see how Tykwer would carry over many of the formal and musical devices from his debut into Run Lola Run.
