9:06

Beginning with a simple crime investigation, “9:06” soon mutates into an intimate thriller and compelling study of psychological transformation. A police inspector investigating an unusual case – the death of a man who appears to have fallen off a bridge in the middle of nowhere – develops an obsession with the case when he realizes it was a suicide. He starts to live in the deceased’s apartment, digging through his life, getting involved with people the man knew, and gradually taking over his identity. Tense and intriguing, “9:06” won a record 15 awards at the 2009 Slovene Film Festival. Variety writes: “A coolly elegant one-man police procedural slowly develops into a beguiling psychological mystery in the Slovenian genre-bender ‘9:06.’ Scribe-helmer Igor Sterk and regular co-scripter Sinisa Dragin have created an impressive hall of mirrors that raises more questions than it answers, as it toys with ideas of guilt, identity, suicide and chance.”
