The big big trouble with this movie that it pretends to show Berlin as it "really" is, but any recent Berlin-Resident knows after 20 Minutes that none of the three directors lived in Germany's Capital for more than two weeks. This comes with a lot of provincial prejudices , claims to be innovative but in the end is just plain annoying and reactionary....which is a big shame because Renee Pollesch who made a fantastic piece of theatre under the same name is such a huge talent and wasting this opportunity to work with him in such an ignorant way should be punished! The only standout-performance here comes from Inga Busch, possibly not knowing how terrible the final cut is going to be! Avoid and go see Pollesch live instead!
