"In the Fade" mainly tells about terrorist attacks, but the background of the story is still the immigration issue that director Fatih Akin is concerned about. In a contemporary society where people are paying attention to Islamic terrorism, the director confronts the issue of neo-Nazism terrorist attacks and focuses on the intensified terrorist attacks. In fact, in terms of the emotional core of the story, it is not too new to deal with, but in the director's own film system, he has done a good job. The three-stage structure of the film can slightly make up for the shortcomings of the film itself, which has a strong sense of drama, and the breakthrough performance contributed by Diane Kruger, who appeared in the film, also brought the movie back..
Although "In the Fade" tells a story full of political significance, it will arouse the audience's anger towards crimes caused by racial hatred, but what really shocks the audience is that the role played by Diane Kruger is beyond imagination. The film is technically impeccable. Photographer Rainier Cusman created a horrible atmosphere saturated with rain in an extremely real world, instead of relying on some simple lens designs to enhance the protagonist’s emotions. Art designer Tamo Kuniz changed his previous stereotype in visual design, and Joshua Holm's soundtrack also made the audience feel deeply anxious and sad.
