Venice provides the backdrop for The Commissario Guido Brunetti Mysteries, the lush film adaptations of the bestselling novels by Donna Leon, which feature the singular Commissario Guido Brunetti, canal boat rides instead of car chases, fine cuisine and crime investigations in one of Europe s most beautiful locations.
Uwe Kockisch stars as Brunetti, a police inspector with a keen mind, razor-sharp wit, and a touch of melancholy. He strives to bring criminals to justice, but experience has taught him that countless things work against that human frailty, corruption, and police incompetence being chief among them. He takes refuge from the job in the company of his loving wife Paola, a university literature professor, and two teenage children, Raffi and Chiara.
The Commissario Guido Brunetti Mysteries: Episodes 13 and 14 are available on DVD and consists of the adaptations of "Willful Behavior" and "Blood from a Stone". In German with English subtitles.
