Der Krieger und die Kaiserin is a fantastic contemporary German movie, directed by Tom Tykwer (Lola rennt), featuring the talented Franka Potente, as well as a great performance by Benno Fürmann. Both of them can also be seen in the bone-chilling thriller Anatomie. If you like this kind of recommendation, please let me know. I like foreign films and I’d be happy to post links to whatever I watched and liked.

I’d certainly encourage it — Especially if it has Franka Potente in it. I really liked Lola Rennt (Run Lola Run if you’re looking for the English version) and could certainly be convinced to pick up another movie by Tykwer.
Based on your recommendation, I grabbed this one via Netflix and watched it the other night. Good movie overall, but a bit slow for my taste. I’m working on a more thurough review for my personal site, but I’ll certainly post here as well.
I’ll add that I plan to marry Franka Potente some day — she may not know that yet, but some day… Every time I see her movies I realize just how gorgeous she is.
