Kaiserschmarrndrama

Kaiserschmarrndrama, directed by Ed Herzog, is the seventh installment in a German-Austrian co-produced Heimatkrimi (rural crime) film series based on author Rita Falk's novels about Bavarian police officer Franz Eberhofer, starring Sebastian Bezzel. The film's premiere was delayed several times by COVID-19 restrictions before eventually taking place at the Munich Film Festival; it opened in cinemas on August 5, 2021. The film combines a murder investigation, sparked by the discovery of a "webcam girl" found dead in the forest, fears of a serial killer, and developments in Eberhofer's personal life. Who it's for: anyone curious about the seventh entry in a long running, novel based rural crime series set in Bavaria, blending a murder investigation with the characters' personal lives. Who it's not for: viewers with no familiarity with the series, since the film builds on the characters and relationships from the previous six films.
