Red Sun

About This Movie

Red Sun is a fascinating blend of crime and psychological intrigue, set against the backdrop of 1970s Germany. The film drifts through Thomas's journey, from Hamburg to Munich, where he reconnects with his ex, Peggy. The pacing feels leisurely, almost dreamlike, allowing the odd atmosphere to seep in. What really strikes me is the tension that builds as Thomas unwittingly enters a world shaped by this unsettling pact among Peggy and her roommates. The performances feel raw and real, capturing a distinct era. There’s an underlying current of existential dread that I find compelling—like a reflection on choices and what we give up. And the practical effects? They add a gritty authenticity that heightens the overall experience.
