Br\u00fchl\u2019s directorial debut is spot-on. Based on an idea by the director and written by Daniel Kehlmann, the script combines razor-sharp dialogue with oddball bar-room banter. Pitting global versus local, and hand-luggage-only travel versus eavesdropping from the courtyard window, the film celebrates this intimate corner-pub chamber piece as if it were a genre of its own. The character psychology is perfect and the verbal spats never-ending. Peter Kurth is especially nasty as Bruno, and Daniel Br\u00fchl is deliciously self-deprecating.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

A lot of the details are true, but I wanted to avoid giving it an embarrassing autobiographical \u201ccoming to terms with my past\u201d touch. It\u2019s always clear that this is a comedy and that I\u2019m looking at myself with a wink and not taking myself all too seriously.<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

From the start, the film was going to be about gentrification, about someone who feels like an invader. And then a confrontation between two men from completely different social backgrounds. A duel, like in a Western, taking place in a bar.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

I wanted to look at the superficiality of my world. The Instagram world, the filtered purity thing, that we have to deal with. And then someone \u00a0is stripping all those filters away and telling you the truth straight to your face.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>
