	Movies - Come Sweet Death

Come Sweet Death (ger. Komm, süßer Tod) and Silentium are two novels from Austrian author Wolf Haas. Come Sweet Death is named after a musical piece by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Plot

In Come Sweet Death, disillusioned paramedic and ex-cop Simon Brenner finds himself trapped between the frontlines of two competing Emergency Medical Services in Vienna's relentless summer heat. But things turn really hot only when Brenner starts looking into the unusually high death rate with elderly patients.

Come Sweet Death was made into a movie in 2000, with Wolfgang Murnberger directing and Josef Hader co-writing and starring. The thrilling and dark comedy is also a satire on the EMS "scene" and features a hilarious car chase as climax. It is by many considered the single best Austrian movie ever, and can be compared to Bringing Out the Dead
, but is more European-style and more humorous.

The same crew produced the sequel Silentium in 2004.
