Murder in the Snow: Commissioner Jennerwein investigates in Bamberg

When the wintry Alpine idyll loses its friendly mask, a race against time begins for Commissioner Hubertus Jennerwein. On November 5, 2026, the ODEON cinema and café in Bamberg will show the darkly humorous crime film Commissioner Jennerwein – High Season – an adaptation of Jörg Maurer's bestseller and at the same time the theatrical debut of an unconventional investigator with Bavarian local color.

A snowy idyll becomes a crime scene

No sooner has Jennerwein started his service in wintry Garmisch-Partenkirchen than a Danish ski jumper falls to his death. The president of the Winter Games committee narrowly escapes an assassination attempt, while anonymous letters announce further crimes. Amidst suspicious villagers, sworn communities, and vain local politics, a dangerous game of cat and mouse begins.

Dark humor meets Alpine crime

The dramaturgy combines classic investigative work with quirky characters, macabre punchlines, and the peculiar rhythm of a regional crime thriller. Director Hannu Salonen stages the story as a mix of suspense, comedy, and regional color. Florian Brückner embodies the unconventional Commissioner Jennerwein; alongside him, among others, play Sarah Thonig, Frederic Linkemann, Eva-Maria Reichert, Helmfried von Lüttichau, and Cornelius Obonya.

From bestseller to the big screen

The source material comes from Jörg Maurer's Jennerwein series. High Season is the second novel of the 16-part Alpine crime series. On screen, snowy jumps, village intrigues, and a detective with a dry gaze collide. The visual language uses the wintry mountain world as an atmospheric counter-world: behind clear air and glittering snow lurk ambition, fear, and deadly secrets.

The theatrical experience in the cinema hall

Even though it is a film screening and not a theater production, ODEON creates a concentrated theater atmosphere: lighting, acoustics, and the big screen focus every clue, every pause in dialogue, and every dark gag. The audience experiences a crime evening that combines suspense with Bavarian peculiarities and gains its audience reaction from surprising twists, quirky characters, and sly humor.

Conclusion: An Alpine crime with bite

Commissioner Jennerwein – High Season promises an entertaining cinema night amidst snowy landscapes, macabre humor, and classic detective work. Those who appreciate crime stories with regional charm, unconventional investigators, and surprising twists will experience an exciting start to the winter cinema season at ODEON.
