La principessa + il guerriero (2000)
Wuppertal (Renania settentrionale) Bodo, ex soldato in fuga da sé stesso, salva la vita a Sissi, infermiera in un istituto psichiatrico, e sparisce. Sissi lo trova e lo ricambia. Bizzarro pastiche di melodramma romantico, film d'azione e favola esistenziale, ricco di citazioni (il Truffaut di Baci rubati nella sequenza iniziale della posta, il De Sica di Miracolo a Milano, il Cocteau di Orphée nello sdoppiamento finale, ancora Truffaut attraverso Ch. Trenet) e di virtuosismi registici, è una storia d'amore sulla dialettica tra caso e destino, la perseveranza femminile premiata e la possibilità della resurrezione. Non piace ai critici, ma ha tre qualità rare: fa aspettare, sorprende, corre il rischio calcolato del Kitsch. Recitazione molto fisica e, insieme, ipnotica. Kaiserin significa imperatrice.
