Born in Cologne, Germany, Ulrich Wimmeroth has worked for over two decades as a journalist and film critic for a variety of cinema magazines, newspapers and websites such as Kino&Co, cinezone.de, filmabriss.com and filmfutter.com. Throughout his university education in Cologne and Bonn during the 1990s, he specialised on Asian and East European cinema. Today, he enjoys watching a Giallo as much as a big budget mainstream movie. For his regular columns he does not only review the newest films from around the world but also likes to dig in the bargain bin for the most obscure findings.
