A gangster lies in a spacious, dirty apartment, languishing in his own negative thoughts. Committed to crime, abuse, murder, and more, he is visited by a fly – representing both his past and his potential future. Through propulsive editing, innovative camera movements and bold, expressionist lighting, Director Kai Kurve, making the transition from commercial work, provides a unique, dance-infused, voiceover-heavy take on the gangster genre with Cornerboy, closer in tone to David Cronenberg than Martin Scorsese. A dark night of the soul that’s as much a prophecy as a condemnation, the innovative format allows the director to embrace both experimentation and flair – giving great insight into both the pitfalls and the allure of gangster life. We had the chance to talk to Kurve about his collaboration with Choreographer/Dancer Piotr Simba Abramowicz, using a new Munich-based technology for moving the camera and his opinion about the enigmatic, bitterly ironic ending.
