9.Gloomy Sunday

Country: Germany

Release Date: Oct 21, 1999

Director: Rolf Schübel Stars: Erika Marozsán, Joachim Król, Ben Becker

Classic Line: Love will poison you and then you will poison love.

The movie centers on a romantic love triangle with tragic consequences.

It is set during World War II. The film is based on the novel by Nick Barkow, co-written and directed by Rolf Schübel and tells a fictional story about the creation of the song Gloomy Sunday.

The film, just like the name says, is a little bit gloomy. Not a good choice for young lovers but not a bad choice for mature lovers.
