Murder, Venice, relationships...it's a delicious concoction in the hands of crime novelist Donna Leon. Venice provides the backdrop for the lush film versions of the bestselling novels, which features the indelible Commissario Guido Brunetti, canal boat rides instead of car chases, fine cuisine and crime investigations in one of Europe’s most beautiful locations.

Davon stirbt man nicht 2002 (3.5)

A little deception with big consequences: Because boarding school student Dorian, the daughter of a wealthy American family, would rather have a little romp with teacher Schürmann during the vacations, she equips her equally blonde friend Anna with her clothes and the snazzy sports car and sends her to Venice in her place. But Anna will never get there: Kidnappers are lying in wait for the young woman. Schürmann, on the other hand, a really bad finger, can't believe his eyes when Dorian suddenly turns up at his place; in order for her father to pay up, Dorian has to disappear again...
