Jerichow

Drama

Release Date: January 8, 2009

Where to Watch

Best cuckold of all the versions of The Postman Always Rings Twice! Jerichow really emphasizes & empathizes with the husband without making him either an anemic or unsympathetic character. Money does not cure loneliness for this forgotten & tragic character who has no home, no rest & no security. Jerichow really captures what the other versions, including Ossessione, does not: the husband as an immigrant & foreigner. Set in rural Germany, one of the least hospitable places to be an immigrant, the husband is from Turkey. Brilliant!
