The shocking German thrill Snowflake is now available on Blu-ray and DVD from Artsploitation Films. Snowflake stars Reza Brojerdi, Erkan Acar, and Alexander Wolf and is directed by Adolfo J. Kolmerer and William James.
Take a dash of Tarantino, a splash of Coen brothers, a metric ton of pretzel-logic self-awareness, and a fast-paced series of humorously violent misadventures, and you’re halfway to grasping the magnificent German madness of this bizarre import. Hunting down the murderer of their families in a near-future Berlin, a gang of lowlife characters all want revenge on each other, but along the way they must contend with a myriad of wicked fairytale types—assassins, madmen, a blood-covered angel, and an electric-powered superhero—all apparently come to life through a screenplay written by a demented but clueless dentist. Must be experienced to be believed, and guaranteed to twist your mind.

A film that prides itself in being almost 100% self-aware, making its characters actually interact with the screenwriter of their story, are at risk of belonging to the second group —but thankfully, Adolfo Kolmerer and William James’ “Snowflake” (originally called “Schneeflöckchen”) manages to avoid most of the pitfalls a picture of this kind might fall into.
