And every day slayer greet. One morning seems like the other in this "crime scene", which comes along as a thriller remake of the time-lapse comedy "And Every Day Greetings the Marmot". In the "Tatort" the main character is awakened again and again by Slayer's "Cult" - a piece that is attributable to the genre of thrash metal. "To thrash" means beating, slamming, squeezing together, and that's exactly what makes the TV thriller, which plays through different killing techniques in different variations, with its film idol. The purest marmot massacre.

As for Bill Murray in the Hollywood film, Ulrich Tukur, Commissioner Murot, repeats the same day again and again; Like Murray's figure, Tukurs Murot also sees life as an eternal repetition of the same banal events. The difference: Murot gets into the time-loop through varied extinctions and self-extinguishing. Trigger is everything that kills: firearm, crossbow, hand grenade.

One morning, the investigator is called to take hostage in a savings bank. Slayer music sounds from the apartment next door, a little boy blaring on the street, a young police officer spilling coffee on the commissary's trousers, annoyed by his colleague's clumsiness and the predictability of life in front of the assembled special units: Hostage-takers, I know one, I know everybody, he wants a car, he wants a big sum of money in small bills, everything else would surprise me a lot.

Tukur "Tatort": Slayer into the time loop

Then surprise the processes inside the savings bank after all: Murot can persuade a cruiser-equipped hostage-taker to the task by routine Zuquatschen, but as he tries to talk to their partner as well routiniert, this shoots him annoyed.

Only dying brings variety

Then everything starts again: beaten metal, boy barking, spilled coffee. Again and again and again. Only the way of life of Murot (and of some peripheral characters) is different every time. The violence in this "crime scene" comes as comic juice as in the legendary tukur episode "born in pain" with its approximately 50 bodies. Like this one, "Murot and the Marmot" is an uprising against the dictatorship of routine.

Author and director Dietrich Brüggemann has previously staged a Stuttgart "crime scene" in which the investigators had to carry out their investigations in a traffic jam on the vineyard. The bumper-to-bumper cars acted as pressure chambers of pent-up frustration, which wanted to unload.

After spinning at standstill now the standstill while spinning: What Murot in Brüggemanns new "crime scene" also hangs, he can not free himself from the repetition loop. And death only has the function of a repeat button. After Murot has unnerved after the umpteenth repetition made a swallow from the skyscraper window, immediately sound again Slayer. Finally Murot tries as a zombie in pajamas and bathrobe with chainsaw and submachine gun to find an exit from the Wiederholsterror.

Ironically, in the hostage-taker he meets every day, Murot finds an ally. He is the only one who consciously experiences the time warp together with him. In one of the saddest scenes ever to be shot on time-stamping in the age of the internet, watch the two funny YouTube videos. There is also an invoice: If you wanted to watch all videos on the World Wide Web, you would need 78,000 years. Cats with balls of wool, children falling down, that's how eternal damnation must feel.

Do not ask how the 78,000 years were calculated. And please do not ask about the plausibility of this casually constructed, witty staged thriller. Just take it as a bloody liberation against the Sunday routine.
