Fashion Victims Free Movie

Fashion Victim is a comedy film which is the debut vehicle of German director Ingo Rasper. It has already bagged many prizes like the Berlin and Beyond Festival’s first-feature prize and the audience prize at the Max Ophuls festival. The plot has everthing – status obsessed middle aged family, their ups and downs and the gay romantic angle of their son.

Edgar Selge plays the role of Wolfgang Zenker who lives in a provincial German community. He has been booked several times for over speeding. He also has a stay-at-home wife in Erika (Franziska Walser). Wolfgang earns his livelihood by selling drab clothes for middle aged women. Roman Knizka plays the role of Steven, the young salesman, who rivals Wolfgang with his collection of new fashion conscious clothes which becomes an instant hit with the people. This, no doubt, creates a problem for Wolfgang.

Karsten was all set to join a Spanish language summer school and his father, Wolfgang was driving him to the airport. En route Wolfgang was pulled up for over-speeding and since this was a repeat offence, he was banned from driving. He ordered his Karsten to stay at home and chauffeur him from shop to shop. Karsten watched his dad going from one place to another but with no real good news as Steven’s clothes has already found its way to these shops.

Karsten was given the job of driving his dad around in a desperate attempt to save the business from new aggressive salesman – Steven. The young lad watches his father run from shop to shop as they have already accepted the new fashion clothes from his rival. Once when he was sent to the dry cleaners for an errand Karsten had a chance meeting with his Dad’s foe, Steven and almost immediately sparks fly between the two. Very soon Kasrsten realizes that Steven is his Dad’s sworn enemy and how he is in double jeopardy. First he needs to conceal his sexuality and secondly he cannot reveal his relationship with Steven. On the other hand, Erika is seen contemplating a divorce from his husband while Wolfgang is busy over-extending himself at the bank.

The film does not make you sad at the end but shows a lot of reconciliations and compromises. Edgar Selge plays the role of Wolfganf Zenker to perfection one wonders whether anyone else could have played the role better. Franziska Walser as his doting wife plays his part well and looks at ease when portraying the emotional scenes. Florian Bartholomai as Karsten is good and convincing and should do well in future films too.

The film had the potential to be a real blockbuster due to its portrayal of “Fashion Victims” but sometimes the film is too cruel to be termed a comedy. The camera work is brilliant as the film beautifully captures the by lanes and the towns of German provinces. The setting of the film is perfect and is in tune with the tragic undertone of the movie.
