If you want to see a German film that deviates completely from the usual picture of comedies suitable for the masses or cumbersome historical dramas, you have to watch Der Nachtmahr. The crazy mix Psychological thriller, coming-of-age tale, drug psychosis and monster nightmare you can stream for free without a subscription in the media library.
The Nightmare is more radical than most German films
In the plot of the film by director Akiz, 16-year-old Tina (Carolyn Genzkow) is killed after a party plagued by bad nightmares, in which she encounters a bizarre creature. When she seeks psychiatric treatment, she is advised to contact the entity. This changes everything for Tina again.
The Nightmare is reminiscent of surreal, unconventional films by directors such as David Lynch (Blue Velvet) and Gaspar Noé (Irreversible). Flickering stroboscopic thunderstorms, loud techno beats and oppressive horror interludes ensure a audiovisual experience that is more like a physical experience and is unrivaled in cinemas in this country.
However, Akiz’s work also offers a deeper scope for interpretation. The whimsical creature can be seen, for example, as a manifestation of the main character’s psychological problems grasp. So The Nightmare also becomes an offbeat empowering fantasy after Tina gets involved with the being.
