NOTHING BAD CAN HAPPEN (aka TORE TANZT) could have slipped into the annals of torture porn but first time director Katrin Gebbe has such a sure hand and grasp of her subject that the film never crosses the line into degenerate entertainmentNOTHING BAD CAN HAPPEN (aka TORE TANZT) could have slipped into the annals of torture porn but first time director Katrin Gebbe has such a sure hand and grasp of her subject that the film never crosses the line into degenerate entertainment (not that I'm against that). But it's refreshing to see a film that has so much on its mind and plays with our expectations while depicting a world in which beauty, truth and innocence are not only resented but demeaned and destroyed. This is a tough film which one could see as a statement on the masochism behind religious zealotry but is ultimately about human pettiness. The film seriously calls to mind the work of Lars von Trier and Gebbe deserves positive comparisons to von Trier but NOTHING has a genuineness that makes if feel poignant rather than an intellectual exercise. NOTHING BAD CAN HAPPEN is not an easy film but well worth the pain. Expand

I'm quite confused with this film, quite puzzled, especially considering that it's based on real events. This film is quite dark and oppressive but it also comes at a point where you wonder where everything is going or what is the point.I'm quite confused with this film, quite puzzled, especially considering that it's based on real events. This film is quite dark and oppressive but it also comes at a point where you wonder where everything is going or what is the point. It's not like I haven't seen movies like that before but the story of this one and how it's told, forces you to question the plot and it doesn't really give answers or any sort of narrative satisfaction but I can assure that you will have a good conversation afterwards.

A labor in stupidity, the directors sexual fantasies is what I feel like a watched. Just a pointless awful film.
