Wikipedia article
'Nemesis' is a 2010 German drama film, marking the last work of actor Ulrich Mhe and the feature film debut of writer-director Nicole Mosleh. It tells the story of an estranged couple, played by Mhe and his wife Susanne Lothar. The film was shot in 2006 in Italy. Ulrich Mhe was diagnosed with cancer while the film was in post-production and died before the film was finished.
A legal battle with Susanne Lothar, Mhes widow, prevented a release of the film for three years."Susanne Lothar ein Wunder an Charme und Natrlichkeit [Susanne Lothar A Miracle of Charm and Naturalness]", Berliner Morgenpost, 26 July 2012, archived from the original on 26 July 2012, "Nach seinem Tod interessierten sich gleich mehrere Verleiher fr 'Nemesis'. Aber Susanne Lothar wollte dies verhindern, die Verffentlichung zog sich Jahre hin. Vielleicht fand sie, ein solcher Film werfe so kurz nach dem Tod ein falsches Licht auf das Paar. 'Ich habe ihn immer bei mir, ihn und die schne gemeinsame Zeit', sagte die Schauspielerin 2008 in einem 'Tagesspiegel'-Interview." It premiered at the Hof International Film Festival in Germany in 2010.
