It’s small gestures like the way Max Riemelt’s hand grabs Hanno Koffler’s head in the first make out or the built-up tension in the face of Katharina Schüttler once it dawns on her that her husband might cheat on her in a way she hadn’t expected. Despite an arguably conventional dramatic composition, “Free Fall” surprises you as it works around the major gay clichés and has three actors (Koffler, Riemelt and Schüttler) in peak form so well directed that every conflict (police, parents, wife, potential coming out) is 100% believable and almost tangible in the more dramatic scenes. When I had a Q&A with Marc Koffler some time after the film had been released, you could feel that he was happy, not only with his work, but with the entire film -and once you watch it, you understand why.

The intensity with which they indulge into their characters is only topped in greatness by their following press work, in which they, unlike their “Brokeback Mountain” pals back in the day, talked openly and without prejudice or fear of the “gay label” about their collaboration and friendship.

'Cobra Kai' Season 5 Teaser: Johnny Lawrence Front-Kicks Through a Surfboard as We Get Premiere Date The wonderful confusion continues with a surprising kiss in the woods where the two men go for a jog and reaches its first climax (couldn’t resist the cheap pun) at a steamy sex scene that made me go running every day for a month hoping I would meet Max Riemelt somewhere, you know, to discuss his role. It starts with a joint after work and the realisation that leftie Kay doesn’t actually believe in police power but plans to undermine it from within.

Little by the little, the social order gets out of balance when Kay’s approaches put the stability of Marc’s social and sexual blueprint into question. Marc has his family life all planned out with his wife pregnant (amazing as always: Katharina Schüttler) and the town house apartment next door to his parents ready for a stable petit bourgeois future.

Kay Engel (played by heartthrob-hottie Max Riemelt) is the new boy in town who joins the police team and quickly bonds with his colleague Marc (equally irresistible: Hanno Koffler). The story is simple, and yet complicated since it is set at two epicentres of heteronormativity: a male-dominated police squad and a middle class nuclear family to be. “Free Fall” - the feature-length debut of director Stephan Lacant, was quickly compared to “Brokeback Mountain” (minus the homophobia) and later did extraordinarily well at the German box office – not bad for a film that has “gay” written all over it (and now it’s out on DVD Stateside - so you can see for yourself).
