Something to Remind Me is a subtle, psychological thriller reminiscent of Hitchcock’s Vertigo. Thomas (Hennicke) falls for a mysterious woman named Leyla (Hoss). As soon as he makes a connection with her, she vanishes, leaving Thomas desperate to find the object of his obsession. When he uncovers a connection between Leyla and Blum, a member of a re-socialization program, he rushes to find her before she disappears once again. Every gesture, word, and picture help to establish the film’s cool atmosphere of frozen emotions and human isolation. This extraordinary piece was awarded the Adolf-Grimme Prize in 2003 and the German Television Award for Best Director in 2002.
