[Post Updated with the freshly released German theatrical trailer.]
Jan Henrik Stahlberg has quietly ensconced himself as a great favorite of mine, the German satirist first claiming attention with the excellent and criminally under-seen Quiet As A Mouse before firmly entrenching himself as one of the truly great Swift-style social commentators with this year’s Berlinale entry Short Cut To Hollywood. I wrote about Stahlberg’s latest with great enthusiasm here but, at the time, couldn’t actually show you any of his work. No more! The trailer has arrived and is below the break for your perusal!
Here’s how I summed the film up in my review:
Fully into middle age with no skills and no discernable talent there is, of course, only one route for Johannes to take. He will go to America and become famous, America being the place where skill and talent are not prerequisites to fame. All you need is a plan. And Johannes very definitely has that.
