A Dark Character Study
On the 3rd of October a twenty-four-year-old student from Vienna kills his lover and chops up her corpse. Her torso is found in a dumpster, other body parts and the head are missing. There is no clue about the motive of the murder.The plot summary above is provided by the director himself. While this is accurate (the events do happen in the film), it is also something of a lie by omission. Those events take up really about 5% of the plot. The vast majority focuses on two young men in Vienna, who never meet, and both have their own problems in life.
On its face, the film is rather bland, and if anyone is going in expecting a genre film or a murder mystery or anything like that, they will be sorely disappointed. Its strength comes in presenting two stories that seemingly have nothing in common, and leaving it up to the audience to find a connection. Some critics have seen links between the two men, though the links are rather forced.
Others say there is a subtle commentary on class. One of the men is apparently well-off, or at least not struggling, and is well-educated, studying law abroad. (He says he is studying “the philosophy of law”.) The other man seems more working class, rough around the edges, always smoking and coming up with offensive rap songs about how much he dislikes women. But this second man can afford to work out at the gym and pursue an interest in mixed martial arts, so his perceived lower class may not be accurate. (His father is also a government employee, so the family as a whole is probably doing fine.)
The film even touches on two disparate approaches to sexuality. The young man who seems to be more well-off and proper is actually only interested in women when he can be a little sadistic to them – some light choking, duct tape. Nothing too awful, but what happens when the mundane gets boring for him? The other man, who has an intense dislike for his ex-girlfriend, may actually be harboring a hidden homosexuality. When a male friend makes an overt pass at him, he freaks out but not without hinting his interest. If these feelings are suppressed, one can imagine the frustration turning violent.
As stated above, anyone looking for a genre film or a murder mystery or a thriller is going to be let down. But if you’re interested in a character study and like deep conversations reflecting on a film and the motivations of the characters in the film, this is the sort of think-piece that has merit. “Agonie” debuted July 29, 2016 at the Fantasia Film Festival.
Study of a crime
“Agonie” or “Agony” is an Austrian/German co-production from 2016 that resulted in this German-language movie. It runs for pretty much exactly 1.5 hours and is the most known and also only full feature film effort by Paraguayan writer and director David Clay Diaz. The film received some solid awards attention already, which surprises me a bit as I found it pretty uninteresting from start to finish. This is the story of a young man who ends up killing and dismembering his girlfriend. It is not really about the crime itself or the violence, even if it is pretty graphic towards the end. But as I wrote “towards the end”, you can already guess correctly that it is all about that happens before that and that results in him doing what he does and committing such a horrible act. The cast is a mix of German and Austrian actors and I must say I do not know a single one of them to be honest. Certainly no big names here, even if some of the young actors may perhaps have a breakthrough in the coming years. This film, however, is not the one that will turn them into stars. This also has to do with the bleak and very sterile approach here. Nothing too uncommon for Austrian films, but still they frequently manage to be far more interesting than this one here, even if they are completely void of comedy like this one here. One example that comes to mind is “The Robber” for example that is also based on real events. This one here I think is completely fictitious. I personally would say the best way to describe it is by making a parallel of what a modern version of Fassbinder’s “Herr R.” and this is what the film would have looked like if it had gone wrong and turned out irrelevant and unappealing. Sadly only two stars out of five for this one here from me and I don’t recommend the watch. There are many great Austrian films out from recent years, probably more than from Germany. This is not one of these. watch something else instead.
