“And I cried with happiness.” At the end, the murderer describes to his wife how he killed his first victim as a young man.
He did this with a hunter's grip, just like he had learned from his dominant father.
The "crime scene" in Kiel was about a crime that had been committed more than 50 years earlier in the hippie era.
At that time, Borowski's girlfriend, with whom he wanted to hitchhike to the Jimi Hendrix concert on Fehmarn, was kidnapped, raped and stabbed.
So the case led from the last rainy flower power days to the gloomy German oak forest, where the victim lay buried next to others.
In our review, we wrote: "While having the young Borowski played by Axel Milberg's son August is a wonderful solution, strictly speaking, if the character Borowski was 14 52 years ago, he should be retired by now , or retire after this event at the latest.
But that would be kind of a pity, because the episode shows the strengths of the "crime scene" in Kiel, despite this structural weakness.
Psychologically and visually, ›Borowski and the Shadow of the Moon‹ is finally a better sequel after some half-baked productions.
Being high, being free isn't really the issue here, instead it goes straight and reasonably plausible back down into the dark obsessions of a suspect.«
We gave 7 out of 10 points.
What is your opinion?
The »Tatort« swan song to the hippie era was filmed in September 2019.
That's how long Sunday crime thrillers are rarely put off for broadcast.
In the meantime, two more Borowski cases have already been completed.
In the episode »Borowski and the Great Anger«, the inspector ends up in the intensive care unit, so that Almila Bagriacik (»4 Blocks«) as Inspector Sahin can finally direct the investigation.
So far, the character is still pretty under-told, we'd finally like to know more about her.
The episode »Borowski and the Hungry Heart«, which tells of a murder in a group of sex addicts, has already been completed.
The accompanying book was written by the author Katrin Bühlig, who repeatedly and surprisingly illuminated the dark desires of women and men in her Sunday thrillers.
