    The movie ends abruptly, setting up an epilogue that viewers will have to provide for themselves. Jerichow's sparseness, tiny cast, and minimal plot can make the film seem a little elusive, but there's a certain elegance to Petzold's concision, too. He shows all he wants us to see.

    Jerichow forgoes the prolonged double-crosses of "The Postman Always Rings Twice," its simpler ending made all the more powerful--and a little heartbreaking.

    A well-made, tightly directed German reworking of "The Postman Always Rings Twice", "Jerichow" is as cold-blooded and ironic as "Blood Simple", without being in the least bit funny.… Expand
