Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

ingolino Andre Schneider rather stands out in an ensemblecast who takes themselves and the matterthey're talking about way too serious.What could've been a rather niece piece of trash or even a cute little "Basic Instinct"- homage comes down extremely heavy and after a splendid interrogation scene it quickly runs a little bit out of focus and wants to be so much more... Even the sex-scenes are not that bad, but the actors are in desperate need to lighten up and when Ivy Poll mumbles "I'm just getting moist again"one wonders if she had ever been in the first place...

withoutyou-imnothing1965 Deed Poll is a cool movie, though I wouldn't recommend it for everyone. It's a tough cookie. I watched it by accident at a friend's house and thought it was nicely made - it's astounding to see what you can do with no budget.The story is interesting and could have made a full-length picture. One wonders why they made it a short one.The sex scenes are very aesthetic and staged in an artistic appealing way. The direction could have been better, all in all, the movie seems a bit cold and lacks high emotions. The actors do well and after all, this is Kowa's and Schneider's film.Many people might expect to see Orlando Bloom. He isn't in it, a guy named Wittenauer plays Sean Poll, and he does it decently. 8/10

brushfirerecordsaddict Since this movie will probably never be released widely, I was truly fortunate to get a copy of the DVD through a friend of mine who was visiting Andre Schneider in Germany earlier this year.A weird film, I must say, but it's highly entertaining, dark and sexy. As a gay man, I was hugely attracted to Mr. Schneider who gave a tour-de-force performance in this movie. I haven't seen any of his other performances yet, but this one was electrifying. Equally good were Miss Kowa and Mr. Wittenauer who played an incestuous pair of siblings. But despite of their good performances, "Deed Poll" entirely belongs to Andre Schneider's face and presence: raw and sensitive, sexy and vulnerable, tender and fierce, seductive and ugly. It's his face and the great script that makes the viewer forget about the inept direction, the hilariously bad sound and some goofs.Too weird for American audiences, this movie will sooner or later become a cult classic. I watched it more than a dozen times and made copies for many of my family members and friends. This is a movie with a message.

sunshineseeker1978 DEED POLL's been a rumour for years, and in 2003 dozens of people finally said that this movie was all a big lie. I pitied that since I always thought that the plot sounded great. (I like sick movies.) Then, two years later, I got word that Mr Schneider got it done, so I ordered a copy through his production company a couple of weeks ago.Even though you see that it's a low-budget film, DEED POLL has it's magic. Mr Schneider's performance is really strong, the sex scenes are well done: good choreography, great photography, stunning film editing. The best thing about it, still, is the script. The lines are just remarkable! And, after all, this is a movie about sadomasochism and love, about the need to submit and/or dominate and about the will to sacrifice yourself. A pity that it is so short.Now, it's almost a little secret that this film actually does exist, but DEED POLL will gain more and more fans over the years until it will be a cult classic like all the other "great sick" films: MARNIE, DEATH AND THE MAIDEN, EYES WIDE SHUT, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, THE PILLOW BOOK, THE ADDICTION, THE WISDOM OF CROCODILES and so on.
