saw it in toronto with paul and the director. i thought it was great although i was told the english subtitles were poorly translated by my german friends. paul is an insanely talented actor for someone with no prior experience. he did a great job. and he wrote the score/music as well! highly recommended… it’s like ‘one flew over the cuckoo’s nest’ meets ‘it’s all gone pete tong.’

From the parts shown in the interview it looks pretty cheesy to me…

Thanks for the review. It sounds promising. Does anyone know where it’s going to be playing in Berlin (English subtitles please)?

I saw the premiere of this movie at the C/O Pop Festival in Cologne earlier this year. It was supposed to be subtitled but they inadvertently showed the vanilla German version to a 70% English-speaking audience!

Despite that it was really, really enjoyable. It was great seeing an electronic music producer in the silly “tortured artist” role usually reserved for writers and rock stars, and the whole movie zips unfettered by its slightly cliched plot and rather heavy borrowing from classic cinema.

The music’s great as well. And there’s a sex scene in a toilet – always delightful.
