Ola G @Ollie1972 Mar 11, 2023 Katie Armstrong (Keri Russell), an American student in Germany studying criminal psychology. She chooses a notorious subject for her thesis: the cannibal killer Oliver Hartwin (Thomas Kretschmann). Oliver dreamed of eating a willing victim and, thanks to the internet, he was able to find a volunteer, a young man named Simon Grombeck (Thomas Huber)... This psychological horror film inspired by the Armin Meiwes cannibal murder case in 2011 has a sidestory with an an American student in Germany studying criminal psychology (played by the always lovely Keri Russell) that doesn´t really add anything to the film. The story about the cannibal killer Oliver Hartwin would´ve worked by itself. It´s dark and seedy film, but unbalanced and not all that exciting. Trivia: "Grimm Love" was scheduled for release in Germany on 9 March 2006. In March 2006, the film was banned by a German court for infringing the personal rights of Armin Meiwes, but the film was sold for an international release and was shown worldwide. In May 2009, the Federal Court of Justice annulled the ban in favor of freedom of arts. See more Oct 22, 2016 el papel de Keri Russell en esta película es innecesario.
