A professor Boerne, who vacillates between life and death, a doctor who is not, and one last time Nadeshda Krusenstern (Friederike Kempter) after 17 years in the Münster “Tatort”.
Our TV review.
You're welcome!
Let's not start with logic now.
Of course, it is illogical that a head of forensic medicine - namely Prof. Boerne (Jan Josef Liefers) - only tells his closest colleague and colleagues on the evening before his departure that he is leaving the city for three months and that he is a substitute that is unknown to all of them takes over.
But those who constantly use the logic yardstick in film, theater, opera and literature have not understood anything about entertainment, the desire for escapism and artistic freedom.
In this initial situation, it is absolutely clear that Commissioner Thiel (Axel Prahl) and Boerne's assistant Haller (Christine Urspruch) do not notice that the next day the wrong representative is sneaking into Boerne's holy halls.
This Dr.
Jacoby is a murderous would-be medic who hunts down others to take over their jobs.
As usual, Hans Löw skilfully plays him as a staid loner whose dark side shines through in tiny changes in facial expressions.
We wrote in the preliminary report that anyone who was not a friend of the Münster people would have a hard time dealing with the "Limbus" case.
In this limbo it will only be heavenly for die-hard fans.
Primarily because of the coherent farewell to Nadeshda Krusenstern (Friederike Kempter).
A German authority as a courtyard to hell
We experience her, Thiel and Boerne together in front of the camera for the last time.
The possibility of a final reunion of the trio is probably also the reason why director Max Zähle decided to let Prahl play the clerk in Limbus - a German authority as a courtyard to hell.
This also less logical cast of roles gives fans what they love: The exchange of blows between Boerne, whose body is still fighting for survival on earth, and the official in the afterlife, as we usually know him from Boerne and Thiel, is part of the Münster- Team like the Anabaptist cages at the Lamberti Church there.
As early as 2016 in the “Tatort: Celebration hour”, the professor had promised to become a better person after a poison attack on him.
Because that was, well, not entirely successful, his colleagues show little sympathy with words in the event of his death, which will probably now actually arrive, remembering above all the bad sides of Karl-Friedrich “with a big ego”.
The actual feelings, that is to say, real sadness, reveal prahl and originuch in their gestures so truthfully that it truly moves.
As Limbus-Thiel once said, when you die it is a matter of supply and demand: "The value of life increases the less time we have." The idea that after Nadeshda, Boerne could also disappear forever, makes us Although Liefers can be quite annoying with his constant dubbing, think again: Without him it would be nothing.
