aka Out of Rosenheim
An odd German film (in English) that begins with stylised editing and skewed camera angles that seem amateurish and irritating. In retrospect, that lack of finesse was most likely intentional, because, while it’s a long time coming, when it finally settles down and lets the characters come to the fore it turns into something wonderfully uplifting.
It’s a comedy (eventually), but not the laugh out loud kind; to say any more than that would ruin the surprise.
The real star was Marianne Sägebrecht. I’d seen her in support roles before but never in anything that gave her the opportunity to shine as brightly as she did in this. She was fantastic.
